What In Fact is Cloud Web Hosting?

In general, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves individual web hosting services such as data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual bunches of very advanced web servers. Each particular service set constitutes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one server, sharing the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there must be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will produce the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The massive cloud website hosting deceit. Very popular at present.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is very perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting vendors" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! An immense shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business niche there are no statutes at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such supervising institution. This is the reason why the hosting distributors speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they actually can provide.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting wholesalers

If a cPanel-based web hosting distributor has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, many web servers have to be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting retailer to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, owing to the fact that developing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not an issue, lots of money must be spent as well. Stacks of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge disadvantage.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel devices (running with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first you have to devise one. In-house. Secondly, you have to set up the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based Control Panels

Famous hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to run on one single server only. All web hosting services (storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one web server where these given one-server web hosting platforms and hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must set up an in-house built web hosting CP that will function unproblematically and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural component of it. Appropriate examples of custom constructed cloud website hosting solutions with in-house created web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Triple O Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment expenses

The smallest contribution demanded, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
