What Precisely is Cloud Website Hosting?

In general, the actual cloud web hosting solution serves different web hosting services such as disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on individual hosts of cutting-edge servers. Each individual service set generates a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one server, sharing the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is an authentic cloud web hosting service, there should be: a disk 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, etc. All these individual service clusters will produce the so-called cloud web hosting system.

The gigantic cloud website hosting swindle. Quite popular now.

There is so much speculation revolving around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is very perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this popular ignorance, the "cloud website hosting providers" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her five bucks a month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is because in the website hosting business niche there are no principles at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervisory organization. That is why the web hosting providers speculate and lie blatantly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's uncover how much cloud hosting they actually can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, multiple web hosting servers must be purchased. Which is also not cheap. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First off, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel hosting firm to keep the cloud website hosting platform at hand, owing to the fact that fabricating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of an expert staff are not an issue, a lot of cash must be spent as well. Tons of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous problem.

The deficiency of open source cloud web hosting solutions

There are no open source cloud web hosting solutions. There are no open source web hosting CP devices (running with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, first you must establish one. In-house. Second of all, you must develop the website hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Popular website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are manufactured to work on a single server only. All hosting services (storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one web server where these respective single-server web hosting systems and web hosting Control Panels are set up.

The lack of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must devise an in-house built web hosting Control Panel that will run perfectly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an ingrained part of it. Suitable examples of in-house manufactured cloud website hosting systems with custom built website hosting Control Panels besides us, at BreHost, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision costs

The minimal investment needed, only for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80,000 dollars. That's excluding the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud web hosting platforms can be detected out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so azure... and almost cloudless!
