Cloud Website Hosting Definition

Essentially, the authentic cloud website hosting solution serves different hosting services such as storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous bunches of cutting-edge web servers. Each specific service set produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The great cloud website hosting deceit. Quite common nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is greatly perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate strongly, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no rules at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-controlling body. That is the reason why the hosting distributors speculate and lie overtly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they actually can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting supplier has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, multiple servers must be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this article. First off, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting distributor to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, since establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not an issue, a lot of cash has to be invested too. Tons of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge problem.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting systems. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel instruments (functioning with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first you have to devise one. In-house. Secondly, you must build the hosting CP too.

One server-based CPs

Contemporary web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to operate on one single server exclusively. All hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these given single-server website hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to make a custom web hosting CP that will run flawlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible component of it. Proper instances of custom manufactured cloud web hosting systems with custom made web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Terabit, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision costs

The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically unclouded!
