What is Cloud Website Hosting?

In general, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves distinct hosting services such as data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate packs of leading edge web servers. Each specific service pack constitutes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the specific 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 an authentic cloud hosting service, there has to be: a disk storage cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The enormous cloud web hosting scam. Quite popular at present.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only seem perplexing, but in reality it is extremely complicated. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the wings of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting traders" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the client and his/her five bucks per month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the hosting business niche there are no rules whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulatory organization. That is why the website hosting corporations speculate and lie blatantly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they in reality can provide.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, many web servers have to be obtained. 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 hosting supplier to keep the cloud web hosting platform at hand, since fabricating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not a predicament, lots of cash has to be spent as well. Heaps of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous downside.

The absence of open source cloud hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel user interfaces (running with the cloud hosting solution) as well. Hence, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, first of all you have to create one. In-house. In the second place, you have to create the web hosting CP as well.

Single server-based Control Panels

Modern web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to perform on one single server exclusively. All hosting services (data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on a single web server where these given single-server web hosting platforms and hosting Control Panels are installed.

The deficiency of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to make a custom website hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to accommodate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Appropriate instances of custom invented cloud website hosting platforms with in-house constructed web hosting CPs besides us, at Tip Top Tech Solutions, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision prices

The minimal contribution needed, only for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so blue... and nearly unclouded!
