The full truth about the cloud hosting service
In general, the real cloud site hosting platform serves distinct hosting services such as data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, and so on, on autonomous stacks of leading edge web servers. Each individual service pack generates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all work as one server, sharing the service's load in approximately identical proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there should be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will produce the so-called cloud web space hosting platform.
The big cloud web space hosting fraud. Very common today.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can see,cloud hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. Based on this universal ignorance, the "cloud hosting firms" speculate fervently, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is owing to the fact that in the webspace hosting business niche there are no rules whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such legislative organization. That is why the hosting traders speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in reality can provide.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web site hosting corporations
If a cPanel-based web site hosting provider has a cloud webspace hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, loads of web servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting supplier to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, due to the fact that making one takes years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not an issue, loads of money must be spent as well. Tons of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge drawback.
The shortage of open source cloud webspace hosting environments
There aren't any open source cloud web site hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting CP interfaces (operating with the cloud web site hosting platform) either. Hence, to have a cloud webspace hosting system at hand, first of all you must create one. In-house. Secondly, you have to make the web hosting Control Panel as well.
One server-based web hosting CPs
Famous hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to perform on a single web server exclusively. All webspace hosting services (storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on one web server where these specific one-server web page hosting systems and web space hosting Control Panels are set up.
The absence of open source website hosting CPs
So, you have to fabricate an in-house built CP that will work perfectly and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Suitable examples of custom constructed cloud hosting platforms with in-house constructed hosting CPs are: WebHost-ing.com, NTCHosting, Lonex, Exclusive Hosting, FreeHostia, OpenHost, 50Webs, 100WebSpace, Fateback, MediaTemple and ResellersPanel
Cloud web site hosting hardware equipment costs
The minimal investment needed, just for the cloud web space hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you realize how many cloud web space hosting solutions can be detected out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
