The truth about the cloud web hosting service

Essentially, the actual cloud web space hosting platform serves different hosting services such as disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web space hosting CP, backup, and so on, on autonomous bunches of very powerful web servers. Each single service set forms a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will render the so-called cloud site hosting platform.

The massive cloud webspace hosting scam. Very widespread these days.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting now. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is intensely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web space hosting firms" speculate intensely, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the webspace hosting business there are no norms at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web page hosting industry has no such self-regulative organization. That is why the web space hosting distributors speculate and lie openly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they in fact can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web page hosting corporation has a cloud site hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, many hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to keep the cloud web site hosting system at hand, since constructing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of professional personnel are not a predicament, plenty of money must be spent too. Heaps of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense inconvenience.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud site hosting environments. There are no open source web space hosting CP interfaces (working with the cloud webspace hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you must set up one. In-house. Secondly, you must build the webspace hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based CPs

Modern CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to work on one server solely. All site hosting services (disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one server where these given single-server webspace hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source hosting Control Panels

So, you have to construct a custom web hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Appropriate examples of custom manufactured cloud hosting platforms with in-house manufactured web hosting CPs are: Consultores-TIC, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web space hosting hardware provision costs

The minimal contribution wanted, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud webspace hosting platforms can be found out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and virtually unclouded!
