Curious facts about the cloud hosting solution
Actually, the real cloud hosting platform serves individual hosting services like disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web site hosting CP, backup, and so on, on autonomous packs of very powerful servers. Each separate service group creates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one single server, sharing out the service's load in practically equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a site hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will compose the so-called cloud webspace hosting system.
The big cloud web space hosting scam. Quite widespread nowadays.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is very perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting firms" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is because in the web site hosting industry there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web site hosting industry niche has no such regulatory institution. This is why the webspace hosting firms speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they actually can deliver.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web page hosting wholesalers
If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud site hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, a lot of web hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting vendor to have the cloud web site hosting system at hand, because of the fact that constructing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not a predicament, lots of money must be invested as well. Piles of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge drawback.
The lack of open source cloud web space hosting platforms
There aren't any open source cloud web site hosting systems. There are no open source web site hosting Control Panel user interfaces (functioning with the cloud site hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud web site hosting platform at hand, first you must create one. In-house. In the second place, you must set up the web hosting CP as well.
One server-based web page hosting CPs
Today's popular site hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to work on a single web server solely. All web page hosting services (disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one single server where these specific one-server web page hosting platforms and webspace hosting CPs are installed.
The shortage of open source web hosting CPs
So, you must invent a custom site hosting Control Panel that will function flawlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Good examples of in-house devised cloud web hosting platforms with custom set up web hosting Control Panels are: SMARTHOSTING, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud hosting hardware provision fees
The minimal investment required, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
