What is Cloud Website Hosting?

In general, the real cloud web hosting solution serves various web hosting services like storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent packs of very advanced web servers. Each single service pack constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one web server, sharing the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there must be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will create the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The colossal cloud web hosting swindle. Quite common at present.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is extremely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud website hosting wholesalers" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is because in the web hosting business there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such administrative organization. That is why the web hosting traders speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, in fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they actually can deliver.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting companies

If a cPanel-based website hosting trader has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, many web hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting corporation to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, in that setting up one requires years. Even when time and the provision of experienced personnel are not an issue, loads of cash must be invested as well. Stacks of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a great defect.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source website hosting CP instruments (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first you have to fabricate one. In-house. Second of all, you must set up the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Contemporary website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to run on one single web server solely. All website hosting services (web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one single web server where these respective one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are installed.

The deficiency of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to construct an in-house built website hosting CP that will run impeccably and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Good instances of in-house created cloud hosting systems with custom set up web hosting CPs besides us, at Lair Secure Net, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision costs

The smallest investment wanted, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly unclouded!
