How Does Cloud Hosting Operate?

Actually, the real cloud hosting solution serves various website hosting services like disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on different hosts of leading edge web servers. Each different service set produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing out the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there would be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will build the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The massive cloud website hosting trick. Very popular nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting at present. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting suppliers" speculate intensely, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! An enormous disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no stipulations whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such self-regulative body. This is the reason why the hosting merchandisers speculate and lie overtly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud web hosting they in reality can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting trader has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, plenty of servers must be purchased. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, as creating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not an issue, a lot of money has to be invested too. Stacks of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge problem.

The lack of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source CP tools (working with the cloud website hosting system) either. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to make one. In-house. Secondly, you have to develop the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to run on one single web server only. All hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served concurrently on one single server where these respective one-server website hosting systems and website hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source hosting CPs

So, you must create a custom web hosting Control Panel that will work flawlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Appropriate instances of custom devised cloud hosting solutions with custom constructed website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Mnistrat Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision charges

The smallest investment required, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting systems can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
