Curious details about the cloud web page hosting service
In general, the genuine cloud webspace hosting platform serves various hosting services like disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web site hosting CP, backup, etc., on different bunches of cutting-edge servers. Each single service group creates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one server, sharing the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web page hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web space hosting platform.
The substantial cloud website hosting fraud. Quite popular nowadays.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is supremely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting distributors" speculate strongly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A huge shame. This is because in the hosting industry niche there are no norms whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The site hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative organization. This is why the web hosting retailers speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in fact can supply.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting providers
If a cPanel-based web page hosting merchant has a cloud web page hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, many servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. But before we do, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting company to have the cloud site hosting platform at hand, since setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a problem, lots of money must be invested as well. Tons of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a big obstacle.
The absence of open source cloud website hosting platforms
There are no open source cloud web site hosting systems. There aren't any open source webspace hosting Control Panel user interfaces (functioning with the cloud site hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud web site hosting platform at hand, in the first place you must construct one. In-house. Secondly, you have to devise the web space hosting CP too.
One server-based website hosting CPs
Popular web space hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to work on one web server only. All webspace hosting services (data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these respective one-server web space hosting systems and site hosting Control Panels are installed.
The lack of open source website hosting Control Panels
So, you have to establish a custom web space hosting Control Panel that will run perfectly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Good instances of custom manufactured cloud web hosting systems with custom made Control Panels are: iStudio Cloud Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud hosting hardware equipment charges
The minimal investment demanded, just for the cloud web page hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you do know how many cloud webspace hosting systems can be found out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and practically unclouded!
