How Cloud Website Hosting Works

Actually, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves separate hosting services such as data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on different groups of very powerful web servers. Each specific service pack makes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one single server, sharing out the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a web space 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 separate service clusters will form the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The mammoth cloud web hosting fraud. Very widespread at the moment.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in reality it is extremely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this popular ignorance, the "cloud web hosting distributors" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the hosting business there are no norms whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such supervising body. This is the reason why the web hosting suppliers speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's ascertain how much cloud hosting they actually can offer.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting corporations

If a cPanel-based website hosting merchandiser has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is quite improbable, many servers have to be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a problem, loads of money must be invested as well. Piles of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense drawback.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting systems. There are no open source hosting CP interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first you must invent one. In-house. Second of all, you have to develop the Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting CPs

Contemporary website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to operate on one server solely. All web hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these given single-server web hosting systems and hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source CPs

So, you have to invent a custom hosting CP that will run faultlessly and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Appropriate instances of in-house developed cloud web hosting solutions with custom developed web hosting Control Panels besides us, at EU SuperHost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision charges

The minimum contribution demanded, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS device, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting solutions can be discovered out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
