How Does Cloud Website Hosting Work?

Actually, the real cloud website hosting solution serves different web hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent hosts of top-quality web servers. Each single service group generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all work as one single web server, sharing the service's load in nearly equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a disk space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will produce the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The huge cloud web hosting deceit. Very popular at the moment.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in reality it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud website hosting suppliers" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting business niche there are no statutes at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such supervisory body. That is why the website hosting companies speculate and lie blatantly (quite bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's determine how much cloud hosting they actually can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchant has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, loads of servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that at the end of this story. First off, let's find out what the cloud problems are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting trader to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, due to the fact that devising one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not an issue, a lot of money has to be invested as well. Heaps of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast downside.

The deficiency of open source cloud website hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting platforms. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel interfaces (operating with the cloud website hosting solution) either. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first of all you must build one. In-house. In the second place, you have to create the website hosting CP as well.

One server-based CPs

Modern website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are devised to function on one single web server only. All web hosting services (disk storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these specific single-server web hosting systems and CPs are set up.

The lack of open source Control Panels

So, you must create a custom website hosting Control Panel that will run unproblematically and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent component of it. Appropriate instances of custom manufactured cloud web hosting platforms with custom manufactured CPs besides us, at 101 Ultimate Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision charges

The minimum contribution demanded, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between $60,000 USD and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting solutions can be stumbled upon out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
