What is Cloud Web Hosting?

In general, the authentic cloud web hosting platform serves distinct website hosting services like disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on autonomous sets of deluxe servers. Each individual service set creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing else. They will all perform as one web server, sharing the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an electronic 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 autonomous service clusters will build the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The mammoth cloud hosting swindle. Quite widespread at the moment.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business niche there are no decrees at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such legislative organization. This is why the hosting merchants speculate and lie overtly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they in reality can provide.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting distributors

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, numerous web servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this article. First, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting company to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, for establishing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a predicament, a lot of cash has to be invested too. Mountains of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a big downside.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel interfaces (working with the cloud website hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first you must create one. In-house. In the second place, you have to make the web hosting CP as well.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Contemporary website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to work on one server solely. All website hosting services (data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one web server where these particular one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are installed.

The absence of open source website hosting CPs

So, you must invent an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will function perfectly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Suitable examples of in-house made cloud web hosting solutions with in-house constructed web hosting CPs besides us, at AgooCloud, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision rates

The minimal investment demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
