What Indeed is Cloud Hosting?

Essentially, the actual cloud website hosting solution serves distinct hosting services such as disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent bunches of cutting-edge servers. Each different service pack produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing else. They will all function as one server, sharing the service's load in approximately identical proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there should 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 Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will create the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The big cloud website hosting fraud. Quite popular at present.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is excessively complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting wholesalers" speculate eagerly, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars a month. What a shame! A huge disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the hosting industry there are no rules whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervisory institution. This is why the web hosting wholesalers speculate and lie overtly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud web hosting they in reality can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, numerous servers must be purchased. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting trader to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that constructing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a problem, lots of cash has to be invested as well. Heaps of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge defect.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source website hosting CP tools (functioning with the cloud website hosting system) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, in the first place you must construct one. In-house. In the second place, you have to establish the website hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Famous web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to function on one web server only. All website hosting services (web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these specific one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to make an in-house built hosting CP that will work impeccably and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Good instances of custom set up cloud web hosting systems with custom constructed web hosting Control Panels besides us, at iTech Solution, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision costs

The minimum investment needed, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
