What Exactly is Cloud Website Hosting?

In general, the genuine cloud hosting platform serves various hosting services such as disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual bunches of cutting-edge web servers. Each individual service set constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing else. They will all work as one single server, sharing the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The mammoth cloud website hosting deceit. Very modern nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is very perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is because in the website hosting industry niche there are no ordinances at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulatory organization. This is why the hosting corporations speculate and tell lies blatantly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud web hosting they actually can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting wholesalers

If a cPanel-based web hosting provider has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, a lot of hosting servers must be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting firm to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, as setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a problem, lots of money has to be invested as well. Tons of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense downside.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web hosting CP devices (running with the cloud website hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first you must establish one. In-house. Secondly, you have to construct the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Popular website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to work on one server only. All website hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one single web server where these given single-server web hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must develop a custom CP that will perform faultlessly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Appropriate instances of custom invented cloud website hosting solutions with custom manufactured Control Panels besides us, at Avarhost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment rates

The minimum contribution demanded, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually unclouded!
