How Cloud Hosting Operates

Actually, the real cloud website hosting platform serves different web hosting services like web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent hosts of avant-garde servers. Each particular service group forms a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing else. They will all work as one single server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will create the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The big cloud web hosting swindle. Very modern these days.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting suppliers" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! A big shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no stipulations at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such administrative institution. This is the reason why the hosting wholesalers speculate and lie blatantly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they in fact can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting corporation has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, loads of servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's see what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting merchant to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, as developing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient team are not a problem, a lot of money has to be spent too. Mountains of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting CP interfaces (operating with the cloud web hosting system) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first you must invent one. In-house. Secondly, you must invent the web hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based CPs

Contemporary website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to run on one web server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one server where these specific one-server hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must construct a custom Control Panel that will operate faultlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Suitable instances of custom developed cloud web hosting solutions with in-house manufactured CPs besides us, at DMS Technologies Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision expenses

The minimum investment needed, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically cloudless!
