In general, the genuine cloud hosting solution serves distinct website hosting services such as disk storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent sets of top-notch web servers. Each specific service group generates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing else. They will all work as one web server, sharing the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The colossal cloud web hosting fraud. Very modern at present.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is greatly complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A huge shame. This is because in the web hosting business there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such supervisory organization. This is why the website hosting distributors speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they indeed can supply.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting providers

If a cPanel-based web hosting corporation has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, a lot of hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting distributor to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that creating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not a predicament, lots of money must be spent as well. Mountains of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense problem.

The deficiency of open source cloud hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel user interfaces (working with the cloud web hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first you must develop one. In-house. Second of all, you have to construct the website hosting CP too.

One server-based hosting CPs

Famous hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to operate on a single web server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one server where these respective one-server website hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.

The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must devise a custom Control Panel that will function uncomplicatedly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Proper examples of in-house built cloud website hosting systems with in-house manufactured web hosting CPs besides us, at WideMarsh.com, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment rates

The minimum investment wanted, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud hosting platforms can be detected out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically cloudless!
