What Indeed is Cloud Hosting?

Essentially, the genuine cloud hosting solution serves different hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual bunches of cutting-edge servers. Each individual service group generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will construct the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The substantial cloud web hosting fraud. Quite widespread these days.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is highly perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting firms" speculate feverishly, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! A huge disgrace. This is because in the website hosting business there are no tenets whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-controlling institution. That is the reason why the hosting suppliers speculate and lie blatantly (very directly, actually) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud web hosting they in reality can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting distributor has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is quite improbable, plenty of hosting servers have to be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting distributor to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, since fabricating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not a problem, plenty of cash has to be invested as well. Piles of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast drawback.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting CP devices (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Hence, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to invent one. In-house. Secondly, you have to set up the website hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to function on one single server exclusively. All website hosting services (web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on one single web server where these particular single-server hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must develop a custom website hosting CP that will work faultlessly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Appropriate instances of custom devised cloud website hosting systems with custom invented website hosting CPs besides us, at Rooted wolf vps, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision rates

The minimum investment wanted, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically unclouded!
