What In Fact is Cloud Hosting?

Essentially, the genuine cloud website hosting platform serves different web hosting services such as storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate packs of top-quality servers. Each particular service pack produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all work as one single server, sharing the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there would be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will form the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The great cloud web hosting trick. Very popular at the moment.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting at present. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this universal unawareness, the "cloud website hosting merchandisers" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is because in the web hosting business there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-governing institution. This is why the hosting retailers speculate and tell lies overtly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud web hosting they in fact can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting provider has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, many web servers must be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting merchant to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, because constructing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a predicament, loads of cash has to be invested too. Mountains of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense disadvantage.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source website hosting CP interfaces (functioning with the cloud website hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, in the first place you must establish one. In-house. Secondly, you must establish the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Today's popular website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to run on one single server only. All website hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on a single server where these given single-server website hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must devise an in-house built CP that will run impeccably and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent part of it. Suitable instances of in-house invented cloud website hosting platforms with custom manufactured web hosting CPs besides us, at REDESK US LLC, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fees

The smallest contribution wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and nearly unclouded!
