How Cloud Website Hosting Operates

In general, the actual cloud website hosting platform serves distinct website hosting services like data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual sets of cutting-edge web servers. Each specific service set produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there would be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will compose the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The gigantic cloud website hosting scam. Quite modern today.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is very perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting companies" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! A huge shame. This is because in the web hosting business there are no decrees at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative organization. That is the reason why the web hosting companies speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud web hosting they in reality can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting company has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, plenty of hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this article. First, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting retailer to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, in that fabricating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a problem, lots of cash must be invested as well. Stacks of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a great obstacle.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel user interfaces (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, in the first place you must fabricate one. In-house. Second of all, you must devise the web hosting CP too.

Single server-based hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to operate on a single server solely. All web hosting services (disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on a single web server where these respective one-server web hosting platforms and CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source hosting CPs

So, you must set up a custom website hosting Control Panel that will operate unproblematically and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural component of it. Good instances of in-house set up cloud hosting systems with custom devised web hosting CPs besides us, at H2NWeb, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment charges

The smallest contribution needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be detected out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
