Curious facts about the cloud web space hosting service

In general, the genuine cloud web page hosting solution serves various hosting services like disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on separate bunches of top-notch web servers. Each separate service set forms a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing else. They will all perform as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web space hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will make the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The great cloud webspace hosting scam. Very popular now.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is intensely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this common ignorance, the "cloud webspace hosting vendors" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A big shame. This is because in the webspace hosting business niche there are no ordinances whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The webspace hosting industry niche has no such regulatory institution. That is the reason why the hosting firms speculate and tell lies openly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web page hosting wholesaler has a cloud web space hosting platform at hand, which is quite unlikely, plenty of hosting servers must be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting corporation to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, in that making one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a competent staff are not a predicament, lots of cash has to be spent as well. Heaps of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a big disadvantage.

The lack of open source cloud site hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud hosting platforms. There are no open source webspace hosting CP interfaces (functioning with the cloud site hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web page hosting system at hand, first of all you have to devise one. In-house. In the second place, you have to develop the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based site hosting CPs

Modern hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to operate on one single server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web space hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one single web server where these given one-server site hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to fabricate a custom website hosting Control Panel that will run unproblematically and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Suitable instances of in-house created cloud hosting platforms with custom constructed web page hosting Control Panels are: AfterHost, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud webspace hosting hardware equipment expenses

The minimal investment required, just for the cloud web site hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and practically unclouded!
