Cloud Hosting Explanation

Actually, the real cloud hosting platform serves different hosting services like disk space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate groups of leading edge servers. Each separate service group generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will produce the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The huge cloud website hosting fraud. Quite common at the moment.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting at present. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is supremely complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting corporations" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is because in the web hosting industry niche there are no ordinances at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulative body. This is the reason why the hosting providers speculate and lie overtly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud web hosting they in fact can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting trader has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is very unlikely, numerous web servers must be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unbelievable for a cPanel hosting retailer to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, as making one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a predicament, a lot of money has to be spent as well. Piles of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a great downside.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web hosting CP user interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first of all you have to create one. In-house. In the second place, you have to construct the website hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Popular Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to run on one single server only. All website hosting services (web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one single server where these respective one-server hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source website hosting CPs

So, you must devise a custom web hosting CP that will function flawlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt constituent of it. Appropriate instances of in-house created cloud website hosting platforms with in-house constructed website hosting CPs besides us, at BlueCap, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment fares

The minimal contribution demanded, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting platforms can be detected out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
