How Does Cloud Website Hosting Work?

Essentially, the real cloud website hosting solution serves separate web hosting services such as storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual sets of very powerful web servers. Each particular service group makes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The huge cloud hosting trick. Quite popular nowadays.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting now. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is extremely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting companies" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no stipulations whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulative institution. That is the reason why the hosting vendors speculate and tell lies blatantly (very directly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud web hosting they indeed can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting supplier has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, numerous web servers have to be acquired. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting provider to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, due to the fact that developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not an issue, plenty of cash has to be spent as well. Tons of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a big drawback.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting CP interfaces (operating with the cloud website hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first you must devise one. In-house. Secondly, you have to fabricate the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Modern web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to function on a single server exclusively. All web hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on a single server where these given single-server web hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to devise an in-house built hosting CP that will function impeccably and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible component of it. Good examples of in-house created cloud web hosting solutions with custom devised web hosting Control Panels besides us, at TopDomainCheck.com, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fares

The minimal investment required, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
