What is Cloud Hosting?

Actually, the authentic cloud website hosting solution serves various website hosting services like storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent sets of avant-garde web servers. Each single service group constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the given service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will generate the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The massive cloud hosting fraud. Quite widespread at present.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in fact it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this popular unawareness, the "cloud website hosting corporations" speculate strongly, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous disgrace. This is because in the website hosting business there are no stipulations at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-controlling body. This is the reason why the website hosting traders speculate and tell lies blatantly (very directly, in fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they actually can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting wholesalers

If a cPanel-based web hosting trader has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite unlikely, multiple servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting supplier to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, because inventing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not a problem, lots of cash must be spent too. Piles of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a big inconvenience.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting CP GUIs (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, in the first place you have to devise one. In-house. In the second place, you must establish the web hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based hosting Control Panels

Famous website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to operate on one web server only. All web hosting services (data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on a single server where these particular one-server hosting systems and website hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source CPs

So, you must invent a custom web hosting Control Panel that will work flawlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible part of it. Appropriate instances of custom manufactured cloud web hosting platforms with in-house developed website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Best Paid Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fees

The smallest investment needed, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
