Cloud Hosting Definition

Essentially, the actual cloud hosting solution serves distinct web hosting services such as disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent groups of top-notch web servers. Each single service pack constitutes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will beget the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The enormous cloud web hosting fraud. Very common these days.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but in fact it is very complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this universal ignorance, the "cloud hosting merchandisers" speculate intensely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! A huge disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such supervisory institution. That is why the website hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud web hosting they indeed can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting supplier has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, multiple hosting servers have to be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this article. First off, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting merchandiser to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, since devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not a problem, plenty of cash has to be invested as well. Heaps of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.

The absence of open source cloud hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel GUIs (running with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Hence, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first you must make one. In-house. In the second place, you have to set up the hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to run on one server only. All website hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one single server where these given single-server website hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.

The absence of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to establish a custom web hosting Control Panel that will perform uncomplicatedly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural part of it. Suitable examples of custom created cloud web hosting systems with in-house devised CPs besides us, at godadywebhost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision fees

The minimum contribution wanted, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud hosting systems can be detected out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
