Cloud Web Hosting Unmasked

Actually, the real cloud website hosting solution serves individual website hosting services like data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on separate packs of high-end servers. Each different service pack creates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the given service and nothing apart from it. They will all run as one web server, sharing the service's load in nearly equal proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there has to be: a storage space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

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

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only appear complicated, but actually it is excessively perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. Based on this widespread ignorance, the "cloud website hosting providers" speculate fervently, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the hosting industry there are no regulations at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-governing institution. That is why the hosting retailers speculate and tell lies openly (very bluntly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.

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

If a cPanel-based website hosting company has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, many servers must be bought. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. But before we do, let's explore what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting merchant to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, for making one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a competent team are not a problem, lots of money has to be spent as well. Heaps of cash. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous obstacle.

The absence of open source cloud website hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud web hosting systems. There aren't any open source hosting Control Panel instruments (working with the cloud website hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, in the first place you have to develop one. In-house. Second of all, you have to invent the web hosting CP too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Popular website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are meant to operate on one web server only. All web hosting services (disk space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on a single web server where these given one-server web hosting systems and Control Panels are installed.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to establish an in-house built web hosting CP that will work flawlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an indelible component of it. Appropriate examples of custom manufactured cloud website hosting platforms with custom set up web hosting Control Panels besides us, at TOKATAKA, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment charges

The minimum investment required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting solutions can be encountered out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and practically unclouded!
