How Cloud Hosting Functions

Essentially, the genuine cloud hosting platform serves individual web hosting services such as data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on autonomous hosts of very advanced servers. Each different service set produces a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one server, sharing the service's load in practically equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The huge cloud web hosting scam. Quite widespread nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is intensely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this popular unawareness, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! A great shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling institution. This is the reason why the web hosting corporations speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they in reality can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based hosting supplier has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, plenty of web hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting trader to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, since fabricating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a predicament, loads of cash must be spent too. Mountains of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge downside.

The lack of open source cloud hosting platforms

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

One server-based web hosting CPs

Famous website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to perform on one single web server only. All web hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one web server where these given single-server web hosting systems and hosting CPs are installed.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to create an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will work unproblematically and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Suitable examples of in-house manufactured cloud web hosting systems with custom developed CPs besides us, at Just Value Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimal contribution needed, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 45 and £60,000. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another £10-15,000. Now you realize how many cloud hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and almost cloudless!
