What is Cloud Website Hosting?

Actually, the real cloud hosting platform serves distinct website hosting services such as storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous groups of top-quality servers. Each specific service group produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one single web server, sharing the service's load in approximately identical proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will form the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The big cloud website hosting fraud. Very modern today.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! An immense disgrace. This is because in the website hosting business there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such administrative body. That is why the hosting providers speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting corporation has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, loads of servers have to be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting firm to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, for setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of professional personnel are not a problem, plenty of money must be invested too. Stacks of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast disadvantage.

The lack of open source cloud hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source CP tools (running with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to develop one. In-house. Second of all, you have to construct the hosting CP as well.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Contemporary web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to perform on one single server solely. All hosting services (disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one web server where these particular one-server website hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are installed.

The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to develop an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will run uncomplicatedly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural component of it. Appropriate examples of custom built cloud website hosting systems with custom set up hosting CPs besides us, at Tiger Hosts, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment fees

The minimal contribution wanted, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
