Cloud Web Hosting Explanation

Actually, the real cloud web hosting platform serves various website hosting services like disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual bunches of high-end servers. Each single service pack creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will create the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The enormous cloud website hosting scam. Very modern nowadays.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting today. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is highly complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting corporations" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no norms whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such supervising institution. That is why the hosting traders speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud web hosting they indeed can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting corporations

If a cPanel-based web hosting company has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, lots of servers must be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting merchant to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because making one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a problem, lots of cash must be spent too. Piles of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous predicament.

The lack of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud hosting solutions. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, in the first place you have to build one. In-house. Secondly, you have to devise the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Popular hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to run on a single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these particular one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must construct an in-house built web hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Good examples of in-house made cloud web hosting systems with custom constructed web hosting CPs besides us, at Blue Skye Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision fees

The smallest investment wanted, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting systems can be found out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
