Description of Cloud Website Hosting

Essentially, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves distinct web hosting services such as disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate bunches of cutting-edge web servers. Each specific service set produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all perform as one server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equal proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will create the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The immense cloud website hosting trick. Quite popular nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud web hosting now. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is intensely perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. Based on this popular unawareness, the "cloud website hosting distributors" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a disgrace! A huge disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no tenets whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-governing body. This is why the website hosting companies speculate and lie openly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud web hosting they indeed can distribute.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting merchandisers

If a cPanel-based website hosting vendor has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, numerous web hosting servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting merchant to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, as setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a predicament, loads of cash must be invested as well. Tons of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge inconvenience.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting systems

There are no open source cloud website hosting systems. There are no open source website hosting CP GUIs (functioning with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to create one. In-house. Second of all, you must invent the web hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Today's popular hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to work on one single server only. All web hosting services (web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one single web server where these particular one-server website hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must establish an in-house built Control Panel that will perform uncomplicatedly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Good instances of in-house set up cloud website hosting systems with custom made website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Layer3.host, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimal contribution needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and almost cloudless!
