The truth about the cloud site hosting service
Actually, the authentic cloud site hosting platform serves individual hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on different stacks of high-end servers. Each particular service group produces a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one single server, sharing out the service's load in approximately identical proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a data storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting system.
The gigantic cloud web site hosting hoax. Very widespread at present.
There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting today. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is highly perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the web page hosting business niche there are no bylaws at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The webspace hosting industry niche has no such legislative body. That is why the web page hosting wholesalers speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting distributors
If a cPanel-based site hosting vendor has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, numerous hosting servers have to be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting retailer to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because developing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not an issue, plenty of cash must be spent as well. Piles of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a great inconvenience.
The shortage of open source cloud site hosting platforms
There are no open source cloud webspace hosting systems. There aren't any open source webspace hosting CP interfaces (working with the cloud webspace hosting system) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web site hosting system at hand, first of all you must build one. In-house. In the second place, you must establish the Control Panel as well.
Single server-based webspace hosting Control Panels
Today's popular website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to run on a single server exclusively. All web site hosting services (disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these given one-server web page hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.
The shortage of open source site hosting Control Panels
So, you must set up a custom web site hosting Control Panel that will run faultlessly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Suitable instances of in-house built cloud website hosting solutions with custom constructed site hosting Control Panels are: SupremeServer, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web hosting hardware provision costs
The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
