How Cloud Web Hosting Works

In general, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves different hosting services like web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous stacks of top-notch servers. Each single service pack generates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all run as one web server, sharing out the service's load in practically equivalent proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will make the so-called cloud hosting system.

The big cloud hosting fraud. Quite common now.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud hosting at present. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is intensely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud website hosting firms" speculate fervently, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 dollars a month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no bylaws at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such regulatory body. That is the reason why the web hosting merchants speculate and lie blatantly (very directly, in fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they in fact can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, loads of web hosting servers have to be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting trader to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not a problem, lots of money must be invested as well. Tons of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a great inconvenience.

The lack of open source cloud hosting systems

There are no open source cloud hosting environments. There are no open source CP tools (working with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you must establish one. In-house. Second of all, you must construct the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based hosting Control Panels

Famous web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to run on one server exclusively. All web hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single web server where these particular one-server web hosting systems and web hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to develop an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will run unproblematically and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent part of it. Proper instances of in-house developed cloud web hosting solutions with in-house made website hosting CPs besides us, at AGSK Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimum investment wanted, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
