How Does Cloud Hosting Operate?

Essentially, the actual cloud website hosting solution serves separate web hosting services such as disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous packs of high-end servers. Each particular service set constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, a 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, etc. All these independent service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The immense cloud web hosting hoax. Quite modern now.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchandisers" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A big disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no regulations at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such regulative organization. This is why the website hosting corporations speculate and lie openly (quite bluntly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting merchandisers

If a cPanel-based website hosting corporation has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, numerous web servers have to be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this review. First off, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting provider to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, due to the fact that making one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a problem, plenty of cash has to be invested as well. Stacks of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast drawback.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel user interfaces (operating with the cloud website hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, in the first place you have to construct one. In-house. In the second place, you have to make the website hosting CP as well.

One server-based Control Panels

Today's popular website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are set up to operate on one web server only. All web hosting services (disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one server where these specific single-server website hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you must make a custom website hosting CP that will run impeccably and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural component of it. Suitable instances of custom developed cloud website hosting solutions with custom devised CPs besides us, at Hosting Nigeria, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment expenses

The minimum contribution needed, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
