What Does Cloud Hosting Stand for?

In general, the authentic cloud hosting solution serves distinct hosting services such as disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on individual packs of top-notch servers. Each different service group generates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will construct the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The enormous cloud web hosting fraud. Quite common nowadays.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this popular unawareness, the "cloud website hosting merchandisers" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no norms whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such legislative organization. This is the reason why the web hosting corporations speculate and tell lies overtly (quite directly, in fact) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in reality can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting distributor has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is very unlikely, numerous hosting servers must be bought. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this review. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that setting up one demands years. Even when time and the provision of highly qualified personnel are not a problem, a lot of cash has to be spent as well. Stacks of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense defect.

The absence of open source cloud hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel tools (working with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to set up one. In-house. Secondly, you have to establish the web hosting CP too.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Contemporary CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to run on one single server solely. All web hosting services (data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these given one-server website hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source website hosting CPs

So, you must invent an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will run flawlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Proper examples of in-house set up cloud hosting solutions with in-house devised web hosting CPs besides us, at Web Plus Hosting Pakistan, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision rates

The smallest investment needed, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be found out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually unclouded!
