What Does Cloud Hosting Represent?

In general, the genuine cloud hosting solution serves various website hosting services like web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate stacks of very advanced web servers. Each separate service set forms a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing else. They will all work as one web server, sharing the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will beget the so-called cloud hosting system.

The immense cloud web hosting fraud. Quite popular at the moment.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud web hosting today. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting providers" speculate fervently, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! An immense shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no decrees whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative institution. That is the reason why the website hosting distributors speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they in fact can provide.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting merchandisers

If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, many web hosting servers have to be purchased. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting merchant to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that establishing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a problem, lots of cash has to be invested as well. Tons of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a great obstacle.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There aren't any open source web hosting CP instruments (working with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, in the first place you must create one. In-house. Second of all, you must create the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Modern web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to work on a single server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on one single server where these respective one-server website hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must develop a custom website hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Proper examples of in-house developed cloud website hosting systems with custom made hosting Control Panels besides us, at G-STARTUP, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision prices

The minimal contribution demanded, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
