What Does Cloud Hosting Mean?

In general, the actual cloud website hosting platform serves individual web hosting services like data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous packs of cutting-edge servers. Each individual service pack creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one single web server, sharing the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there would be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these autonomous service clusters will make the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The massive cloud web hosting swindle. Very common nowadays.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear perplexing, but actually it is extremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this common unawareness, the "cloud website hosting vendors" speculate eagerly, just to secure the client and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! An immense shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no ordinances whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such self-controlling organization. That is why the web hosting firms speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they in fact can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based hosting merchant has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, multiple web hosting servers have to be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting corporation to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that establishing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient team are not a problem, plenty of cash must be invested too. Tons of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous drawback.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web hosting systems. There are no open source website hosting CP GUIs (running with the cloud hosting platform) either. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first you have to create one. In-house. Second of all, you must construct the Control Panel too.

Single server-based website hosting CPs

Modern web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to work on one web server exclusively. All web hosting services (disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these particular single-server hosting platforms and hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source Control Panels

So, you have to create an in-house built hosting Control Panel that will operate faultlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Suitable instances of custom built cloud hosting solutions with in-house made website hosting Control Panels besides us, at Web Hosting Pakistan, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision charges

The minimum investment required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting solutions can be found out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
