What Does Cloud Web Hosting Signify?

Actually, the authentic cloud hosting solution serves separate web hosting services such as disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on separate stacks of avant-garde servers. Each separate service set produces a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing else. They will all work as one server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will construct the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The colossal cloud website hosting scam. Quite popular now.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is extremely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting vendors" speculate eagerly, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no laws at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-controlling body. This is why the hosting traders speculate and tell lies openly (quite bluntly, actually) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they in fact can supply.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting suppliers

If a cPanel-based website hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, loads of hosting servers must be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting trader to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, for constructing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a predicament, loads of cash must be invested as well. Stacks of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense drawback.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There are no open source website hosting CP interfaces (functioning with the cloud website hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first you must make one. In-house. Secondly, you have to build the website hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Modern website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on one single web server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on a single server where these particular single-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The absence of open source hosting CPs

So, you have to fabricate an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will perform impeccably and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Proper instances of in-house invented cloud web hosting solutions with custom developed website hosting CPs besides us, at cPanelX Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision prices

The minimal contribution needed, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting platforms can be detected out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and practically cloudless!
