What Exactly is Cloud Web Hosting?

In general, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves different web hosting services like disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on different sets of high-end servers. Each specific service group produces a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one server, sharing out the service's load in approximately identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The great cloud website hosting trick. Quite widespread now.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is very complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate strongly, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! A great shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such legislative institution. This is the reason why the hosting wholesalers speculate and lie openly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud web hosting they in reality can deliver.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting wholesalers

If a cPanel-based hosting trader has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, many hosting servers have to be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, for devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a predicament, plenty of money must be spent as well. Heaps of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting CP user interfaces (working with the cloud website hosting system) as well. So, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, in the first place you have to fabricate one. In-house. In the second place, you have to construct the Control Panel too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Contemporary website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to run on a single web server solely. All hosting services (data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on one single web server where these given single-server website hosting platforms and Control Panels are set up.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must fabricate a custom website hosting CP that will work impeccably and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Appropriate instances of in-house invented cloud web hosting platforms with custom made website hosting CPs besides us, at OzeVision Web Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment fees

The minimal contribution wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and almost cloudless!
