Cloud Website Hosting Explanation
Essentially, the real cloud website hosting platform serves distinct web hosting services such as disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual bunches of very advanced web servers. Each separate service set produces a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all work as one server, sharing the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting system.
The mammoth cloud web hosting scam. Very modern these days.
There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in reality it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting companies" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A big shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business niche there are no regulations at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulatory organization. That is the reason why the hosting firms speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud web hosting they in fact can supply.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting vendors
If a cPanel-based website hosting supplier has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, a lot of servers must be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First off, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting retailer to have the cloud hosting system at hand, because developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not a predicament, lots of money has to be spent too. Piles of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous problem.
The lack of open source cloud website hosting solutions
There aren't any open source cloud hosting platforms. There are no open source hosting CP tools (working with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first you have to construct one. In-house. Second of all, you have to invent the Control Panel as well.
One server-based Control Panels
Today's popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to function on one single server solely. All web hosting services (data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on a single web server where these respective single-server web hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.
The shortage of open source web hosting CPs
So, you must devise an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will function flawlessly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Good instances of in-house created cloud web hosting systems with custom developed website hosting Control Panels besides us, at UNLI CLOUD, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud website hosting hardware equipment rates
The minimal investment wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually cloudless!
