What Does Cloud Website Hosting Denote?

Essentially, the authentic cloud website hosting platform serves various website hosting services such as data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual packs of top-notch servers. Each different service group generates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing else. They will all perform as one single web server, sharing the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will build the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The huge cloud web hosting trick. Quite popular at present.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting today. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is excessively complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. Based on this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no norms whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such administrative organization. That is the reason why the web hosting suppliers speculate and tell lies blatantly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud web hosting they in fact can offer.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting companies

If a cPanel-based web hosting corporation has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unlikely, numerous web servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this article. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting distributor to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, in that establishing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of experienced personnel are not a problem, loads of money must be invested too. Tons of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast disadvantage.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting environments

There are no open source cloud web hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting CP GUIs (running with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you must develop one. In-house. Second of all, you must devise the CP too.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Today's popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to operate on one web server exclusively. All web hosting services (data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one server where these particular single-server web hosting systems and website hosting Control Panels are installed.

The lack of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to fabricate a custom CP that will work flawlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Proper instances of custom built cloud web hosting systems with in-house built website hosting CPs besides us, at Agra Web Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fees

The minimum investment demanded, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
