Cloud Website Hosting Clarified

Essentially, the real cloud hosting platform serves various web hosting services such as storage space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent packs of deluxe servers. Each separate service set generates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one server, sharing the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there must be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The massive cloud website hosting swindle. Very widespread at the moment.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is excessively complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting firms" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! An immense shame. This is because in the web hosting industry niche there are no enactments whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-controlling organization. That is why the web hosting corporations speculate and lie openly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they in fact can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchant has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, a lot of servers must be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting firm to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, because inventing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not a problem, plenty of money must be invested as well. Tons of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense defect.

The lack of open source cloud hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There aren't any open source CP interfaces (operating with the cloud website hosting platform) either. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to make one. In-house. Second of all, you have to set up the hosting CP too.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Today's popular website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are constructed to perform on one web server exclusively. All website hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these given single-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must fabricate a custom CP that will perform flawlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Suitable instances of custom set up cloud website hosting solutions with custom created website hosting CPs besides us, at IGS Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimum investment required, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and almost cloudless!
