Definition of Cloud Website Hosting

Actually, the actual cloud hosting solution serves different hosting services like web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent stacks of leading edge servers. Each different service set makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the given service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will create the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The colossal cloud website hosting trick. Very widespread these days.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in reality it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no enactments whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such supervisory organization. That is the reason why the hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they actually can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting vendor has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, numerous web servers must be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting firm to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, because devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient team are not a predicament, a lot of money has to be spent too. Piles of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel devices (running with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Hence, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first you must devise one. In-house. Secondly, you have to devise the website hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Famous CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to work on a single web server exclusively. All website hosting services (storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one server where these given single-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source website hosting CPs

So, you must create an in-house built web hosting CP that will work faultlessly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible part of it. Proper examples of in-house constructed cloud website hosting systems with in-house made website hosting CPs besides us, at Raintree Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision fares

The smallest investment needed, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
