Interesting details about the cloud site hosting service
Essentially, the actual cloud web site hosting platform serves individual hosting services such as disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web space hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent sets of cutting-edge web servers. Each separate service group forms a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equal 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 statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will form the so-called cloud site hosting system.
The huge cloud webspace hosting trick. Very widespread at the moment.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in fact it is excessively complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widespread unawareness, the "cloud web site hosting vendors" speculate strongly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! An immense shame. This is due to the fact that in the web space hosting business niche there are no principles whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such self-governing organization. That is why the site hosting corporations speculate and lie overtly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting distributors
If a cPanel-based web page hosting firm has a cloud web space hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, multiple servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting corporation to keep the cloud web space hosting platform at hand, because devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a problem, a lot of cash must be spent too. Piles of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge obstacle.
The lack of open source cloud webspace hosting environments
There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source web page hosting CP GUIs (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web site hosting solution at hand, first you must make one. In-house. Secondly, you must make the web page hosting CP as well.
Single server-based hosting Control Panels
Contemporary Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to operate on a single server exclusively. All web site hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one single server where these specific single-server web page hosting platforms and webspace hosting Control Panels are installed.
The shortage of open source hosting Control Panels
So, you have to construct an in-house built site hosting CP that will run impeccably and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Suitable instances of custom developed cloud web hosting platforms with custom set up Control Panels are: New Zealand Web Hosting Services, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web page hosting hardware equipment prices
The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud site hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud web page hosting systems can be found out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so azure... and almost unclouded!
