What Exactly is Cloud Hosting?

In general, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves individual hosting services like web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent stacks of top-quality web servers. Each specific service pack makes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing else. They will all run as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP 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 independent service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The great cloud web hosting deceit. Very popular nowadays.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is greatly complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate feverishly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is because in the hosting industry there are no enactments whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling body. That is why the hosting companies speculate and lie overtly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting merchandiser has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, many hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's explore what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting retailer to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, since devising one requires years. Even when time and the provision of experienced personnel are not an issue, loads of cash has to be spent too. Tons of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous problem.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel GUIs (functioning with the cloud hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to fabricate one. In-house. Secondly, you have to develop the Control Panel as well.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Famous web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to perform on one single server only. All web hosting services (storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one server where these specific one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must devise a custom Control Panel that will work impeccably and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Proper examples of custom constructed cloud website hosting systems with custom invented web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Suuh Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment fares

The minimum investment wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 dollars. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
