How Cloud Website Hosting Works

Actually, the real cloud website hosting solution serves individual website hosting services such as disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on different packs of leading edge web servers. Each individual service set generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing else. They will all function as one single server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website 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 statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will construct the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The gigantic cloud web hosting scam. Quite common at the moment.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is very perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this common ignorance, the "cloud hosting wholesalers" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! A huge shame. This is because in the web hosting industry niche there are no decrees at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-governing body. That is the reason why the web hosting traders speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they indeed can furnish.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting retailers

If a cPanel-based website hosting corporation has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, loads of web servers must be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting company to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, due to the fact that inventing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a predicament, lots of cash has to be invested too. Stacks of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense downside.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting systems. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel GUIs (running with the cloud website hosting system) either. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first you have to build one. In-house. In the second place, you must build the web hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based hosting Control Panels

Today's popular web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to work on a single server only. All hosting services (web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one web server where these respective one-server web hosting systems and website hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to establish a custom website hosting CP that will function flawlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt constituent of it. Appropriate instances of custom set up cloud web hosting systems with in-house set up website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Incorpmedia Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision costs

The minimal contribution needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting solutions can be found out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
