What Does Cloud Hosting Stand for?

Essentially, the authentic cloud hosting solution serves individual website hosting services such as data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual hosts of high-end servers. Each specific service set makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one web server, sharing the service's load in practically equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there should be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The enormous cloud website hosting deceit. Very popular today.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is intensely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this popular unawareness, the "cloud website hosting wholesalers" speculate fervently, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no norms at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative body. That is the reason why the website hosting vendors speculate and tell lies openly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud web hosting they in reality can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting merchandisers

If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, lots of web servers must be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting firm to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a predicament, loads of money has to be invested as well. Mountains of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous disadvantage.

The absence of open source cloud hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel instruments (running with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first of all you have to establish one. In-house. In the second place, you must invent the web hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Famous hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to work on one single server solely. All web hosting services (web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on a single web server where these respective one-server web hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.

The absence of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to develop a custom web hosting Control Panel that will run impeccably and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Proper examples of custom made cloud website hosting platforms with custom built website hosting CPs besides us, at STEERWEB, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision fares

The smallest contribution wanted, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly cloudless!
