What Does Cloud Hosting Mean?

Essentially, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves different website hosting services such as disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on different sets of very powerful servers. Each specific service group forms a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one server, sharing the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there would be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will compose the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The mammoth cloud website hosting hoax. Very modern nowadays.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only appear complicated, but in reality it is intensely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting suppliers" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A big shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business niche there are no norms at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling organization. This is the reason why the hosting firms speculate and tell lies overtly (very directly, actually) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they actually can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting trader has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, plenty of hosting servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First off, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting wholesaler to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that building one takes years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not a predicament, a lot of cash must be spent as well. Stacks of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast drawback.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting systems

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting CP devices (working with the cloud website hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you must fabricate one. In-house. Second of all, you have to establish the website hosting CP too.

Single server-based hosting CPs

Modern web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to operate on one web server solely. All website hosting services (data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one web server where these respective single-server web hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must fabricate a custom website hosting CP that will run impeccably and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible part of it. Suitable instances of in-house constructed cloud website hosting platforms with custom invented web hosting CPs besides us, at FlexiLinuxHost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision expenses

The minimal investment demanded, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
