Definition of Cloud Web Hosting

Actually, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves various website hosting services like disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, etc., on individual groups of high-end web servers. Each specific service group creates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one single server, sharing the service's load in approximately the same proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will construct the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The great cloud web hosting trick. Very common nowadays.

There is so much confusion revolving around about cloud hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this popular ignorance, the "cloud hosting vendors" speculate intensely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! A vast disgrace. This is because in the website hosting industry there are no tenets whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative organization. That is the reason why the hosting distributors speculate and tell lies overtly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in reality can distribute.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting merchandiser has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite unlikely, lots of web hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting merchant to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, in that building one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified staff are not a problem, loads of money must be spent as well. Heaps of money. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge downside.

The absence of open source cloud hosting systems

There are no open source cloud website hosting solutions. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel interfaces (operating with the cloud web hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first of all you must construct one. In-house. Second of all, you must create the web hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Popular website hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to perform on one single server solely. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these given single-server web hosting systems and website hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source Control Panels

So, you must set up a custom website hosting CP that will perform unproblematically and to accommodate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Good examples of in-house created cloud web hosting solutions with custom manufactured web hosting CPs besides us, at HYNO World, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment costs

The minimum contribution required, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting solutions can be found out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and nearly cloudless!
