Essentially, the real cloud hosting platform serves distinct website hosting services such as disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate bunches of avant-garde servers. Each separate service set produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the given service and nothing else. They will all perform as one single server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there would be: a storage space cluster, an email 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 independent service clusters will produce the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The great cloud web hosting fraud. Quite widespread nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A great shame. This is because in the hosting business niche there are no decrees at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulative organization. This is why the web hosting corporations speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, in fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud web hosting they in reality can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting supplier has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, plenty of web servers must be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this review. First, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting firm to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, since constructing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a competent staff are not a problem, a lot of money must be invested too. Tons of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge downside.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting environments

There are no open source cloud website hosting systems. There aren't any open source hosting CP interfaces (running with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, in the first place you must construct one. In-house. In the second place, you must establish the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Today's popular web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to function on one web server only. All website hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single web server where these given one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to construct an in-house built CP that will operate perfectly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural component of it. Suitable examples of custom created cloud web hosting solutions with in-house built web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Vehosty, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment fares

The minimum investment demanded, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you do know how many cloud hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
