How Does Cloud Website Hosting Function?

Essentially, the real cloud website hosting solution serves individual hosting services like disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate groups of very powerful servers. Each separate service pack generates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all function as one web server, sharing the service's load in practically equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there should be: a storage space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will create the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The mammoth cloud hosting trick. Quite modern these days.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is excessively complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting vendors" speculate feverishly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A big disgrace. This is because in the web hosting industry niche there are no rules at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such legislative organization. That is why the hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud web hosting they in reality can furnish.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting distributor has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very improbable, a lot of web servers have to be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting corporation to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that fabricating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a problem, plenty of money must be spent too. Stacks of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

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

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Modern website hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to run on a single web server solely. All web hosting services (disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these respective single-server web hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to fabricate an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will operate unproblematically and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Proper instances of in-house created cloud web hosting systems with in-house constructed web hosting CPs besides us, at TriQul, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fares

The minimum contribution wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS appliance, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and practically unclouded!
