Description of Cloud Hosting

Actually, the real cloud hosting solution serves individual website hosting services like data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual stacks of top-notch web servers. Each different service group produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all operate as one server, sharing the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there must 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, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will beget the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The substantial cloud website hosting fraud. Quite widespread these days.

There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars a month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is because in the website hosting industry there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulative organization. That is why the hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they actually can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting firm has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is very unbelievable, plenty of web servers must be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First off, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting supplier to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, since inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not an issue, plenty of money has to be invested as well. Mountains of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The shortage of open source cloud hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web hosting CP user interfaces (running with the cloud web hosting system) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first you have to build one. In-house. In the second place, you must establish the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based hosting Control Panels

Popular website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to run on one web server solely. All hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on a single web server where these respective single-server website hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to make an in-house built web hosting CP that will perform unproblematically and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Proper instances of in-house created cloud web hosting solutions with custom built web hosting Control Panels besides us, at LiquidNet, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment rates

The minimum contribution wanted, just for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
