How Cloud Website Hosting Works

Actually, the real cloud website hosting platform serves individual website hosting services such as storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual hosts of cutting-edge servers. Each individual service group generates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one single server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these different service clusters will produce the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The enormous cloud website hosting fraud. Very common today.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is greatly perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! A great disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting business there are no laws whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervisory organization. That is the reason why the website hosting wholesalers speculate and tell lies openly (very directly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's check how much cloud hosting they indeed can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting merchandiser has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, numerous servers have to be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this review. First, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting corporation to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, for setting up one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient team are not a predicament, plenty of cash must be invested too. Heaps of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast inconvenience.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems

There are no open source cloud web hosting systems. There are no open source CP interfaces (functioning with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first you have to build one. In-house. Second of all, you must develop the web hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based CPs

Popular web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to work on one server only. All web hosting services (disk storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one server where these particular one-server website hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must construct a custom web hosting Control Panel that will work flawlessly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Good instances of in-house manufactured cloud website hosting platforms with in-house manufactured website hosting CPs besides us, at C4u Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fees

The minimum contribution wanted, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
