What Does Cloud Web Hosting Represent?

Actually, the real cloud web hosting platform serves various hosting services like disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on different hosts of very powerful servers. Each separate service set constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the given service and nothing else. They will all run as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will form the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The mammoth cloud website hosting deceit. Quite widespread these days.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting providers" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! A big disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no decrees at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such regulative institution. This is the reason why the website hosting companies speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they indeed can supply.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting vendors

If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, loads of hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's find out what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting corporation to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, in that fabricating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not a problem, loads of money must be spent too. Stacks of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous defect.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source website hosting CP GUIs (functioning with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, in the first place you must establish one. In-house. Second of all, you have to invent the web hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Modern web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to work on one single web server only. All hosting services (disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one server where these particular one-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source hosting CPs

So, you have to develop a custom web hosting Control Panel that will operate perfectly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural component of it. Appropriate instances of in-house constructed cloud website hosting solutions with in-house made web hosting CPs besides us, at YasHost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision expenses

The smallest investment wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting solutions can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost cloudless!
