Description of Cloud Web Hosting

Actually, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves individual web hosting services like web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent groups of deluxe web servers. Each separate service pack creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will produce the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The mammoth cloud website hosting fraud. Quite common at the moment.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is intensely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no norms whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling institution. That is the reason why the web hosting providers speculate and tell lies overtly (quite bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud web hosting they actually can distribute.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting corporations

If a cPanel-based web hosting company has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, plenty of servers must be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that establishing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not a problem, plenty of money has to be spent too. Mountains of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a great inconvenience.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting solutions. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you must devise one. In-house. In the second place, you have to build the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based website hosting Control Panels

Contemporary hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to work on one single web server only. All website hosting services (web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these specific single-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are installed.

The absence of open source CPs

So, you must fabricate an in-house built website hosting CP that will function impeccably and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Appropriate instances of in-house built cloud hosting solutions with in-house constructed web hosting CPs besides us, at MICloudWeb.com, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment expenses

The minimal contribution demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
