What Does Cloud Web Hosting Mean?

Essentially, the real cloud web hosting solution serves distinct hosting services like disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on individual packs of top-quality servers. Each individual service set creates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing else. They will all function as one single web server, sharing the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will form the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The substantial cloud web hosting fraud. Very common today.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting now. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only seem perplexing, but is in fact excessively so. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting wholesalers" speculate intensely, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! This is owing to the fact that in the hosting business there are no bylaws at all. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-governing organization. This is why the web hosting retailers speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, actually) to their customers. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud web hosting they in reality can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting corporation has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, multiple hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting retailer to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, because inventing one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not an issue, loads of cash has to be spent too. Tons of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source.

The shortage of open source cloud web hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel tools (working with the cloud web hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first of all you have to build one. In-house. In the second place, you must construct the web hosting Control Panel too.

Single server-based Control Panels

Famous web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function solely on one web server. All web hosting services (web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one server where these given one-server hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are installed.

The absence of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must make an in-house built hosting Control Panel that will function perfectly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained component of it. Proper instances of custom made cloud website hosting solutions with custom created website hosting CPs besides us, at The Whole Internet, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimal contribution demanded, just for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 and $80,000 (USD). That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15–20,000 USD.
