Cloud Web Hosting Unveiled

Essentially, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves different web hosting services like storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on, on individual packs of very powerful servers. Each different service set makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one single server, sharing out the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will create the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The big cloud web hosting fraud. Quite modern at present.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting now. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this popular unawareness, the "cloud web hosting suppliers" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A big disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no principles whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative institution. This is why the website hosting companies speculate and lie openly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they indeed can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting suppliers

If a cPanel-based hosting corporation has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, many servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's explore what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting distributor to keep the cloud hosting platform at hand, due to the fact that establishing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not an issue, loads of money must be spent too. Stacks of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge defect.

The lack of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting CP user interfaces (running with the cloud website hosting platform) either. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, in the first place you have to devise one. In-house. In the second place, you must devise the website hosting CP too.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Popular web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to operate on one single server only. All web hosting services (storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on a single server where these specific one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must invent an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will operate impeccably and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Suitable instances of in-house made cloud website hosting solutions with custom developed website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Axon Inc. Hosting Service, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision fees

The minimal contribution required, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost cloudless!
