Cloud Website Hosting Disclosed

In general, the actual cloud hosting platform serves individual hosting services like disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent sets of very powerful web servers. Each specific service set forms a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one web server, sharing the service's load in practically equal proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The great cloud web hosting hoax. Very popular today.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting now. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is very complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this common ignorance, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! A big disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the hosting business niche there are no decrees whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such regulatory body. That is the reason why the hosting companies speculate and lie openly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they actually can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting corporations

If a cPanel-based website hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, numerous hosting servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting wholesaler to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, in that constructing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a problem, a lot of money has to be spent too. Tons of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense obstacle.

The lack of open source cloud hosting systems

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel devices (operating with the cloud website hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first of all you must set up one. In-house. In the second place, you must set up the hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Famous hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to work on a single server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one server where these specific one-server hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are set up.

The absence of open source hosting Control Panels

So, you must establish a custom website hosting CP that will work unproblematically and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Appropriate examples of in-house developed cloud website hosting platforms with in-house constructed web hosting CPs besides us, at Time To Get A Dot Com, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment expenses

The smallest contribution required, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud hosting systems can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and practically cloudless!
