Cloud Hosting Revealed

Actually, the real cloud hosting solution serves distinct web hosting services like web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate bunches of avant-garde web servers. Each individual service pack creates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing else. They will all run as one single server, sharing the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there should be: a data storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will compose the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The mammoth cloud website hosting scam. Very popular at the moment.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is greatly perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A huge disgrace. This is because in the web hosting business there are no principles whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-governing organization. That is the reason why the web hosting distributors speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they actually can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting distributor has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, loads of servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that making one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified staff are not a problem, a lot of cash must be invested too. Tons of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast predicament.

The absence of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel devices (operating with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first of all you have to set up one. In-house. Secondly, you must invent the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Famous web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to work on one single server exclusively. All web hosting services (disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on a single server where these specific single-server hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source website hosting CPs

So, you must construct an in-house built hosting Control Panel that will operate perfectly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Appropriate instances of custom invented cloud hosting systems with custom developed web hosting Control Panels besides us, at DNMark.com, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision rates

The smallest investment wanted, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud hosting platforms can be detected out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
