What Indeed is Cloud Website Hosting?

Actually, the authentic cloud website hosting solution serves separate website hosting services like data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous sets of high-end web servers. Each different service group constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The gigantic cloud web hosting trick. Quite modern at present.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud hosting at present. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is extremely perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting retailers" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A big disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no ordinances whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such regulative body. This is why the website hosting wholesalers speculate and lie openly (very directly, actually) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they indeed can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, a lot of web hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting trader to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, in that devising one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a predicament, a lot of cash has to be invested too. Mountains of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a big drawback.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting solutions. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel tools (running with the cloud website hosting platform) either. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you must devise one. In-house. In the second place, you must establish the website hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to work on one single server only. All website hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single web server where these respective single-server web hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source CPs

So, you have to create an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will operate perfectly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Suitable examples of in-house built cloud website hosting solutions with in-house made CPs besides us, at DaliHost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fares

The smallest investment wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting systems can be detected out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually unclouded!
