Curious facts about the cloud web hosting service
In general, the actual cloud hosting solution serves various hosting services like web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate groups of high-end web servers. Each different service pack creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing aside from it. They will all perform as one single server, sharing out the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will compose the so-called cloud hosting system.
The mammoth cloud site hosting trick. Very popular now.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is excessively complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web site hosting firms" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! An immense shame. This is because in the web page hosting business there are no laws at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The webspace hosting industry has no such self-governing organization. This is the reason why the web space hosting corporations speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web page hosting distributors
If a cPanel-based website hosting merchant has a cloud site hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, multiple web servers must be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting distributor to have the cloud webspace hosting platform at hand, owing to the fact that setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a problem, a lot of money has to be spent as well. Stacks of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a great inconvenience.
The deficiency of open source cloud web site hosting platforms
There aren't any open source cloud web space hosting systems. There aren't any open source hosting CP devices (operating with the cloud web space hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud site hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to create one. In-house. In the second place, you have to construct the web space hosting Control Panel as well.
Single server-based web site hosting Control Panels
Famous site hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to operate on one server exclusively. All web space hosting services (disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on a single server where these specific single-server web hosting platforms and hosting CPs are installed.
The absence of open source hosting CPs
So, you have to build a custom web site hosting CP that will operate flawlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Good instances of custom developed cloud web hosting systems with in-house set up web page hosting CPs are: ICT Gurus EA Best Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud website hosting hardware equipment prices
The minimum investment demanded, just for the cloud web site hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting systems can be found out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and practically cloudless!
