What is Cloud Website Hosting?

Actually, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves separate hosting services like storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting CP, backup, and so on, on different stacks of avant-garde web servers. Each individual service pack forms a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one web server, sharing the service's load in practically equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there must be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The immense cloud web hosting scam. Very widespread now.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting at present. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but in fact it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this popular unawareness, the "cloud hosting corporations" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no decrees at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-governing body. This is the reason why the hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies overtly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they indeed can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting provider has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, a lot of web servers have to be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting firm to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that fabricating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a predicament, loads of cash must be spent too. Tons of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge defect.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel devices (working with the cloud website hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, in the first place you must develop one. In-house. Secondly, you must fabricate the website hosting CP too.

Single server-based hosting Control Panels

Today's popular website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to function on one single server only. All website hosting services (data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these specific one-server website hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to invent a custom hosting Control Panel that will operate uncomplicatedly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Suitable examples of in-house devised cloud web hosting systems with in-house developed web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Africa Hosting Server, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment costs

The smallest investment wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
