How Does Cloud Web Hosting Work?

In general, the genuine cloud hosting platform serves various web hosting services such as web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent groups of leading edge servers. Each specific service pack produces a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in almost identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there must be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will build the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The mammoth cloud web hosting deceit. Very widespread now.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is intensely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A big disgrace. This is because in the web hosting industry niche there are no bylaws at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such self-controlling institution. This is the reason why the web hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies overtly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting companies

If a cPanel-based web hosting corporation has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, plenty of web hosting servers have to be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this review. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting wholesaler to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, due to the fact that constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of professional personnel are not a predicament, plenty of money has to be invested too. Piles of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous disadvantage.

The lack of open source cloud hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source CP interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first you have to develop one. In-house. In the second place, you must fabricate the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based Control Panels

Modern web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to function on a single server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one server where these given one-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must build an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will run uncomplicatedly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Suitable examples of custom created cloud web hosting systems with in-house created website hosting CPs besides us, at Vehosty, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment rates

The minimum contribution required, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be found out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
