How Does Cloud Web Hosting Work?

In general, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves different hosting services such as web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent packs of avant-garde web servers. Each single service pack generates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all operate as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there must be: a data storage 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, and so on. All these separate service clusters will compose the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The huge cloud web hosting deceit. Very popular at the moment.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is greatly perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate intensely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no rules at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-controlling organization. This is the reason why the hosting firms speculate and tell lies overtly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting merchants

If a cPanel-based web hosting company has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, lots of servers have to be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting trader to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, owing to the fact that creating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a competent staff are not a problem, plenty of cash has to be spent as well. Mountains of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous defect.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud hosting environments. There are no open source hosting Control Panel instruments (operating with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you must construct one. In-house. Secondly, you have to devise the website hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based hosting Control Panels

Today's popular website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to work on one server solely. All website hosting services (web space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these given single-server website hosting platforms and hosting CPs are installed.

The absence of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must invent an in-house built web hosting CP that will run unproblematically and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Proper examples of in-house manufactured cloud web hosting solutions with in-house created website hosting CPs besides us, at Vista 8 Online, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision expenses

The smallest contribution needed, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and virtually unclouded!
