Cloud Web Hosting Description

Actually, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves individual web hosting services such as disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent sets of very advanced servers. Each particular service group generates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing else. They will all function as one server, sharing out the service's load in practically equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will build the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The enormous cloud web hosting hoax. Quite widespread these days.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting now. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is highly perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting merchants" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a disgrace! A huge disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no statutes at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such self-governing body. That is why the hosting providers speculate and lie overtly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they actually can provide.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting companies

If a cPanel-based web hosting provider has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, numerous web servers must be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, as inventing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a predicament, plenty of money must be invested as well. Mountains of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast obstacle.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting CP devices (operating with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first you must set up one. In-house. In the second place, you have to make the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Popular website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to operate on one server exclusively. All website hosting services (storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these given one-server hosting platforms and Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source Control Panels

So, you must create a custom web hosting Control Panel that will perform perfectly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained constituent of it. Suitable examples of in-house developed cloud website hosting systems with in-house manufactured hosting CPs besides us, at intellifi, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment costs

The minimal investment required, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
