Interesting facts about the cloud site hosting service
Essentially, the real cloud hosting platform serves individual hosting services such as disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web space hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual hosts of top-notch servers. Each individual service group constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing else. They will all operate as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there should be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will beget the so-called cloud website hosting platform.
The massive cloud webspace hosting fraud. Very popular at present.
There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting now. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is extremely perplexing. 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 website hosting vendors" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a disgrace! A huge shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no laws whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web site hosting industry has no such self-governing organization. That is the reason why the web space hosting wholesalers speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they in fact can provide.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web site hosting retailers
If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, loads of servers must be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting company to have the cloud hosting system at hand, as inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a problem, plenty of money must be spent as well. Mountains of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous downside.
The shortage of open source cloud site hosting solutions
There are no open source cloud webspace hosting environments. There are no open source hosting Control Panel GUIs (running with the cloud web page hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web page hosting platform at hand, first you have to devise one. In-house. Secondly, you have to build the web space hosting CP as well.
One server-based CPs
Popular site hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to perform on a single web server only. All web hosting services (web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, webspace hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these particular single-server website hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.
The absence of open source hosting Control Panels
So, you must fabricate a custom webspace hosting Control Panel that will operate uncomplicatedly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Suitable examples of in-house created cloud web hosting platforms with in-house manufactured web hosting CPs are: LinuxSolutions, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web page hosting hardware provision charges
The minimum investment wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and almost cloudless!
