What is Cloud Hosting?

Essentially, the genuine cloud web hosting platform serves different hosting services like disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual bunches of very powerful web servers. Each individual service pack produces a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one web server, sharing the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there would be: a storage space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will beget the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The gigantic cloud web hosting trick. Very common today.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in reality it is intensely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate fervently, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervisory body. This is why the hosting wholesalers speculate and lie overtly (quite directly, actually) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in fact can supply.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting corporations

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, loads of web hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting distributor to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, since inventing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a problem, a lot of cash must be invested as well. Piles of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The lack of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web hosting systems. There are no open source Control Panel instruments (working with the cloud hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, in the first place you have to build one. In-house. In the second place, you must devise the web hosting CP as well.

One server-based hosting CPs

Modern website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to run on one single server only. All website hosting services (storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these particular one-server website hosting platforms and hosting CPs are installed.

The absence of open source hosting CPs

So, you must develop an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will run faultlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Suitable examples of in-house set up cloud web hosting systems with custom built web hosting Control Panels besides us, at eTesLa Technologies LLC, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision charges

The minimum contribution required, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be found out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost cloudless!
