Definition of Cloud Website Hosting

Actually, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves different website hosting services such as disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on autonomous bunches of deluxe web servers. Each individual service set generates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing out the service's load in nearly identical proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there must be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will render the so-called cloud hosting system.

The big cloud web hosting hoax. Quite common now.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem perplexing, but actually it is supremely complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud hosting wholesalers" speculate fervently, just to secure the client and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no enactments at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative institution. That is why the hosting vendors speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud web hosting they in fact can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting vendor has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, a lot of web servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting supplier to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a problem, lots of cash must be invested too. Stacks of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a great inconvenience.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting systems. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel GUIs (working with the cloud website hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first of all you must establish one. In-house. Secondly, you have to fabricate the website hosting CP as well.

One server-based Control Panels

Modern web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to perform on one single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one single server where these given single-server web hosting systems and website hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to develop an in-house built web hosting CP that will perform perfectly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent component of it. Good instances of custom built cloud web hosting systems with in-house invented web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Kiira Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision costs

The smallest contribution required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly cloudless!
