Cloud Web Hosting Definition

Actually, the genuine cloud website hosting solution serves various hosting services like data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on individual groups of very powerful web servers. Each separate service pack makes a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all operate as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an electronic 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 build the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The colossal cloud web hosting trick. Quite widespread nowadays.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem perplexing, but actually it is excessively perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this universal unawareness, the "cloud web hosting suppliers" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no laws whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such legislative institution. This is why the hosting companies speculate and tell lies blatantly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud hosting they in fact can offer.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting retailers

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, multiple web servers have to be obtained. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. First, let's see what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting trader to have the cloud website hosting platform at hand, owing to the fact that developing one takes years. Even when time and the provision of competent personnel are not a predicament, plenty of cash must be spent too. Mountains of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous obstacle.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting solutions

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There are no open source web hosting CP devices (operating with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to create one. In-house. Secondly, you must develop the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based web hosting CPs

Modern web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to operate on one single web server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one single server where these respective one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source Control Panels

So, you have to build an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will run faultlessly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Suitable instances of in-house created cloud web hosting platforms with custom devised web hosting CPs besides us, at Octacore Networks, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision expenses

The minimal investment needed, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so blue... and practically unclouded!
