Cloud Web Hosting Explanation

In general, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves various web hosting services like disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on different packs of avant-garde web servers. Each individual service group constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one single server, sharing out the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will produce the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The immense cloud web hosting swindle. Very modern nowadays.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is very complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this popular unawareness, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! A huge shame. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no regulations at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulatory body. This is why the website hosting distributors speculate and tell lies overtly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they indeed can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, loads of web servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First off, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting trader to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because inventing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a predicament, a lot of money has to be invested as well. Mountains of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge problem.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting platforms

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

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Modern web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on one server only. All hosting services (storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these given one-server web hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to fabricate an in-house built hosting CP that will work faultlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural component of it. Good examples of custom devised cloud web hosting systems with in-house devised website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Go Tech, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision prices

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