What In Fact is Cloud Hosting?

Essentially, the actual cloud hosting platform serves different hosting services like disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on individual groups of very advanced web servers. Each individual service group constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly identical proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there would be: a storage space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The gigantic cloud web hosting trick. Quite popular today.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is intensely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a disgrace! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the website hosting industry niche there are no bylaws at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such legislative body. That is the reason why the website hosting retailers speculate and lie openly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in reality can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting company has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is quite unlikely, a lot of web servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting supplier to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, for fabricating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a predicament, lots of money must be spent too. Piles of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous problem.

The absence of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web hosting CP tools (functioning with the cloud website hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first of all you must make one. In-house. Secondly, you must devise the website hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to run on one single server exclusively. All web hosting services (web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these particular one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must build an in-house built website hosting CP that will operate faultlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Suitable instances of in-house made cloud website hosting platforms with in-house invented hosting Control Panels besides us, at edesite, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision fees

The minimal contribution demanded, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and almost unclouded!
