Essentially, the authentic cloud web hosting solution serves different web hosting services like storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on autonomous hosts of very advanced servers. Each separate service pack constitutes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the given service and nothing else. They will all operate as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will render the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The mammoth cloud web hosting deceit. Very modern these days.

There is so much misunderstanding going around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is excessively perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting providers" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! An enormous shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no ordinances whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such legislative organization. That is the reason why the website hosting companies speculate and lie openly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting corporations

If a cPanel-based hosting merchant has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, loads of web servers must be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this article. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting distributor to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, as inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a predicament, a lot of cash must be spent as well. Stacks of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge disadvantage.

The lack of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting CP devices (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you must devise one. In-house. Second of all, you have to fabricate the hosting CP too.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Popular website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to work on one single web server exclusively. All website hosting services (storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these particular single-server web hosting platforms and Control Panels are set up.

The shortage of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to invent an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will work faultlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible constituent of it. Good instances of custom devised cloud web hosting platforms with custom manufactured website hosting CPs besides us, at The Edge of Eternity Networks, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment prices

The minimum investment needed, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and almost unclouded!
