Curious facts about the cloud webspace hosting service

In general, the real cloud hosting platform serves different hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, webspace hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent stacks of leading edge servers. Each separate service group constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, a 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, and so on. All these independent service clusters will make the so-called cloud site hosting system.

The huge cloud site hosting scam. Very widespread now.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive,cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is excessively perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud site hosting vendors" speculate fervently, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! A big shame. This is because in the web space hosting industry there are no principles at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web page hosting industry niche has no such regulatory body. This is the reason why the web space hosting firms speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they actually can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting distributor has a cloud webspace hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, numerous web hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this review. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting provider to have the cloud web site hosting system at hand, as establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a problem, loads of money has to be invested as well. Stacks of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge drawback.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud webspace hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web site hosting CP devices (running with the cloud site hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web site hosting platform at hand, in the first place you must build one. In-house. In the second place, you must make the web site hosting CP as well.

Single server-based webspace hosting CPs

Today's popular Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to operate on one server exclusively. All web site hosting services (data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these particular one-server web hosting systems and web site hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source hosting CPs

So, you have to build a custom hosting Control Panel that will operate unproblematically and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Proper examples of in-house invented cloud web hosting systems with custom manufactured web hosting CPs are: Boulter Hosting, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel

Cloud webspace hosting hardware provision charges

The minimal contribution needed, only for the cloud webspace hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting systems can be found out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and virtually cloudless!
