How Does Cloud Hosting Work?

Essentially, the authentic cloud hosting solution serves different hosting services such as web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent packs of very powerful web servers. Each specific service group makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing else. They will all operate as one web server, sharing out the service's load in practically equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will beget the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The big cloud web hosting fraud. Very common at present.

There is so much speculation going around about cloud web hosting at present. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but in fact it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate eagerly, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a shame! A great shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no tenets whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such regulative organization. This is why the website hosting companies speculate and lie blatantly (quite directly, in fact) to their customers. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in reality can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, many web hosting servers must be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that towards the end of this review. First off, let's find out what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel hosting distributor to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, in that building one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a predicament, loads of money has to be spent as well. Stacks of cash. On top of that, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast inconvenience.

The absence of open source cloud hosting environments

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

Single server-based hosting CPs

Modern web hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to work on one server exclusively. All website hosting services (data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these specific one-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The absence of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you have to establish an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will work perfectly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Proper instances of custom created cloud website hosting systems with custom built website hosting Control Panels besides us, at esPROes Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision prices

The smallest investment required, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you do know how many cloud hosting solutions can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
