What is Cloud Website Hosting?

In general, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves individual hosting services such as data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, etc., on individual sets of deluxe servers. Each separate service pack generates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing else. They will all perform as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly 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 web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The huge cloud website hosting deceit. Very popular nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is intensely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud hosting vendors" speculate eagerly, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no tenets at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such regulatory institution. This is the reason why the website hosting retailers speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud web hosting they in reality can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting provider has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is quite unlikely, a lot of web servers must be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting company to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, since constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a problem, loads of cash has to be invested as well. Heaps of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense predicament.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting systems. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel interfaces (running with the cloud hosting system) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to invent one. In-house. Secondly, you have to build the web hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Contemporary web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to work on one server only. All hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these specific single-server website hosting platforms and Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to devise a custom website hosting Control Panel that will perform uncomplicatedly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Suitable instances of in-house developed cloud hosting solutions with in-house set up website hosting CPs besides us, at HostRite, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision fares

The smallest contribution required, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly unclouded!
