How Cloud Web Hosting Operates

In general, the real cloud website hosting solution serves various web hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent hosts of deluxe web servers. Each single service pack makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing the service's load in nearly identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The big cloud hosting fraud. Quite widespread today.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in reality it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! A vast shame. This is because in the website hosting business niche there are no rules whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative organization. That is why the web hosting distributors speculate and lie openly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud web hosting they actually can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting wholesaler has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, numerous servers have to be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's explore what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting corporation to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, as devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a predicament, plenty of money has to be invested too. Mountains of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a big drawback.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source CP GUIs (running with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to build one. In-house. Second of all, you have to invent the website hosting CP too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Famous website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to perform on a single server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one web server where these given one-server website hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source Control Panels

So, you have to invent an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will run uncomplicatedly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Suitable examples of in-house developed cloud web hosting systems with custom made website hosting CPs besides us, at ShreeShop, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision prices

The minimum investment needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be found out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and practically unclouded!
