Essentially, the real cloud website hosting solution serves individual hosting services like disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on different bunches of high-end servers. Each individual service group creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving solely the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all perform as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud website hosting service, there would be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP 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 separate service clusters will produce the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The enormous cloud web hosting scam. Quite modern these days.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is very perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud hosting companies" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! An enormous disgrace. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting industry niche there are no regulations whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such self-controlling institution. This is the reason why the website hosting suppliers speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they actually can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting merchandiser has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite unlikely, multiple hosting servers must be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this story. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting company to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, in that setting up one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a problem, a lot of money must be spent as well. Piles of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a huge defect.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting platforms

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

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Modern website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to function on one web server solely. All web hosting services (storage space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single web server where these given single-server hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The deficiency of open source website hosting CPs

So, you have to develop a custom web hosting Control Panel that will operate perfectly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Suitable instances of in-house created cloud website hosting systems with custom created website hosting CPs besides us, at Amaacon Web Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision charges

The minimum contribution wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting systems can be stumbled upon out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually unclouded!
