What is Cloud Web Hosting?

In general, the authentic cloud web hosting platform serves individual website hosting services like data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual bunches of very powerful web servers. Each specific service group constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing apart from it. They will all perform as one single server, sharing the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web 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, and so on. All these separate service clusters will construct the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The immense cloud web hosting fraud. Very common today.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but in reality it is excessively complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud web hosting is. Based on this universal unawareness, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A big disgrace. This is because in the hosting industry there are no norms whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such legislative organization. That is the reason why the web hosting merchandisers speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, actually) to their clients. Particularly 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 firms

If a cPanel-based web hosting company has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is very unlikely, multiple web servers have to be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting merchandiser to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that inventing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a predicament, loads of cash must be spent too. Stacks of money. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense downside.

The absence of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel tools (functioning with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first of all you must create one. In-house. Second of all, you must fabricate the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Popular hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to work on one single server solely. All hosting services (disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one single server where these particular one-server website hosting systems and Control Panels are installed.

The absence of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must devise a custom website hosting Control Panel that will function unproblematically and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was a natural part of it. Suitable instances of custom manufactured cloud web hosting solutions with custom developed hosting Control Panels besides us, at The Whole Internet, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision prices

The smallest contribution needed, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting systems can be detected out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
