How Does Cloud Website Hosting Operate?

Actually, the genuine cloud website hosting platform serves distinct website hosting services such as disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate stacks of leading edge servers. Each specific service set forms a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing else. They will all function as one web server, sharing the service's load in nearly identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will generate the so-called cloud hosting system.

The mammoth cloud website hosting trick. Very common today.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is highly perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting vendors" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such supervisory institution. That is why the hosting retailers speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud web hosting they actually can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting merchant has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, many hosting servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting provider to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a problem, loads of cash has to be spent as well. Tons of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge downside.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting systems. There aren't any open source CP interfaces (running with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, in the first place you have to build one. In-house. Second of all, you have to establish the website hosting CP too.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to function on one single server only. All website hosting services (storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on a single web server where these respective one-server website hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source hosting CPs

So, you have to devise a custom web hosting CP that will work impeccably and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Appropriate examples of in-house built cloud hosting systems with in-house manufactured web hosting Control Panels besides us, at DNA Central, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision expenses

The smallest investment demanded, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and almost unclouded!
