Description of Cloud Website Hosting

Actually, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves separate website hosting services like web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on different bunches of very advanced web servers. Each different service pack forms a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing else. They will all function as one single web server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will create the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The mammoth cloud web hosting hoax. Very widespread today.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting today. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in fact it is greatly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the hosting industry niche there are no stipulations at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such self-governing organization. That is the reason why the web hosting retailers speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they in fact can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, many web hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting firm to have the cloud hosting system at hand, in that making one demands years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not a problem, plenty of money must be invested too. Stacks of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a big drawback.

The lack of open source cloud web hosting platforms

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

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to run on one single web server exclusively. All website hosting services (web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these specific one-server hosting systems and hosting CPs are installed.

The absence of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to construct an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will run faultlessly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Proper examples of in-house built cloud website hosting platforms with custom developed website hosting CPs besides us, at DinoServe.com, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision costs

The minimal investment needed, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually unclouded!
