What is Cloud Website Hosting?

Essentially, the authentic cloud website hosting platform serves different website hosting services like storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual sets of leading edge servers. Each individual service group creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing else. They will all work as one server, sharing the service's load in practically equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The enormous cloud website hosting hoax. Very popular at the moment.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear perplexing, but actually it is intensely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no laws whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such supervising institution. That is the reason why the website hosting companies speculate and lie blatantly (very directly, in fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they in fact can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, many web servers have to be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First off, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting distributor to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified staff are not an issue, lots of money has to be spent too. Piles of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge predicament.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting CP user interfaces (running with the cloud web hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to make one. In-house. In the second place, you have to devise the web hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Today's popular web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to function on a single web server solely. All web hosting services (disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one server where these specific one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source Control Panels

So, you must construct an in-house built web hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Proper examples of custom made cloud website hosting solutions with custom constructed hosting Control Panels besides us, at One Host Provider, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision charges

The minimal investment wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
