What Does Cloud Hosting Denote?

Essentially, the real cloud hosting platform serves separate web hosting services like data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on different hosts of top-notch web servers. Each single service pack forms a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one server, sharing out the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will build the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The great cloud web hosting trick. Quite popular at present.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting at present. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is supremely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this universal unawareness, the "cloud hosting wholesalers" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! A big shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no norms at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulative organization. That is why the web hosting vendors speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they actually can supply.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting wholesalers

If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is very unlikely, a lot of hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting distributor to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a problem, lots of cash must be invested as well. Heaps of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast drawback.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud hosting systems. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel tools (running with the cloud website hosting solution) either. Hence, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, in the first place you must develop one. In-house. Secondly, you must invent the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Contemporary hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to run on a single server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these particular one-server hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to establish a custom CP that will perform flawlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Suitable examples of custom made cloud website hosting solutions with in-house devised website hosting CPs besides us, at resellvps, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment expenses

The smallest investment demanded, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
