Cloud Hosting Description

In general, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves different web hosting services such as storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on different packs of deluxe servers. Each specific service pack forms a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated 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 nearly equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The great cloud website hosting fraud. Very widespread nowadays.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear perplexing, but actually it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud web hosting suppliers" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! A big disgrace. This is because in the web hosting business there are no decrees at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such administrative body. This is why the web hosting vendors speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, in fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they actually can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is very unlikely, multiple servers must be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting corporation to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that creating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a competent staff are not a problem, plenty of money has to be invested too. Tons of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel GUIs (running with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, in the first place you must set up one. In-house. Second of all, you must develop the website hosting CP too.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Famous web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to work on one server exclusively. All web hosting services (web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on a single web server where these respective one-server hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to fabricate a custom website hosting Control Panel that will work impeccably and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Appropriate instances of custom manufactured cloud website hosting platforms with in-house manufactured website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Hamilton Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision expenses

The minimal investment demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
