The sheer truth about the cloud web hosting service

Essentially, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves separate hosting services like disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web page hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent stacks of leading edge web servers. Each single service pack constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will form the so-called cloud web site hosting platform.

The big cloud web page hosting swindle. Very widespread these days.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is intensely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this popular unawareness, the "cloud hosting companies" speculate fervently, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A huge disgrace. This is because in the web space hosting business there are no tenets at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such supervisory organization. This is why the web space hosting merchants speculate and tell lies openly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web page hosting merchandisers

If a cPanel-based web hosting vendor has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, plenty of hosting servers have to be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this article. First off, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting retailer to have the cloud site hosting platform at hand, since creating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a predicament, a lot of money must be spent as well. Tons of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous disadvantage.

The shortage of open source cloud webspace hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web page hosting systems. There aren't any open source web space hosting Control Panel GUIs (operating with the cloud web page hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web page hosting platform at hand, first you have to establish one. In-house. In the second place, you must fabricate the Control Panel as well.

One server-based hosting CPs

Today's popular CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to run on one single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these respective one-server web page hosting platforms and webspace hosting CPs are installed.

The lack of open source webspace hosting CPs

So, you have to develop a custom hosting CP that will work perfectly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Good examples of custom constructed cloud web hosting systems with custom made web site hosting Control Panels are: NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment prices

The smallest investment needed, only for the cloud webspace hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and nearly unclouded!
