What Indeed is Cloud Web Hosting?
Actually, the actual cloud website hosting platform serves separate website hosting services such as data storage, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on autonomous packs of very powerful servers. Each different service set creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a storage space cluster, an email 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, and so on. All these independent service clusters will generate the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The huge cloud website hosting swindle. Very modern now.
There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud hosting now. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is very perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this popular ignorance, the "cloud web hosting retailers" speculate eagerly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such self-regulative body. That is the reason why the web hosting vendors speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud web hosting they actually can supply.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting distributors
If a cPanel-based hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is very unlikely, lots of hosting servers have to be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this review. First off, let's explore what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting firm to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, due to the fact that creating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a problem, plenty of cash must be invested as well. Piles of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a big defect.
The absence of open source cloud website hosting systems
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 system) either. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, in the first place you have to fabricate one. In-house. In the second place, you have to invent the web hosting CP as well.
One server-based Control Panels
Popular hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to operate on a single web server exclusively. All web hosting services (data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on a single server where these particular single-server website hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are installed.
The shortage of open source hosting Control Panels
So, you have to build a custom web hosting Control Panel that will function impeccably and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Proper instances of in-house devised cloud website hosting systems with in-house built website hosting Control Panels besides us, at A Plus Web, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud website hosting hardware provision fares
The minimal contribution wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud website hosting platforms can be chanced on out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so azure... and almost unclouded!
