Description of Cloud Web Hosting

Actually, the genuine cloud hosting platform serves different web hosting services like storage space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on individual groups of cutting-edge web servers. Each specific service group generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing else. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will build the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The substantial cloud website hosting trick. Quite popular today.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but actually it is highly complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this common ignorance, the "cloud website hosting suppliers" speculate fervently, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! A big shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no decrees at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling body. This is why the hosting companies speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud web hosting they indeed can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting provider has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, loads of servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting distributor to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, for establishing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient team are not an issue, a lot of money has to be invested as well. Heaps of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge problem.

The lack of open source cloud hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting systems. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel instruments (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first you must set up one. In-house. Second of all, you must set up the Control Panel too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Famous website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to function on one web server only. All website hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on a single web server where these respective single-server website hosting platforms and website hosting Control Panels are set up.

The deficiency of open source CPs

So, you have to set up an in-house built hosting CP that will run uncomplicatedly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Suitable instances of custom constructed cloud web hosting systems with custom created web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Lime Server, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment costs

The smallest contribution demanded, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost cloudless!
