How Does Cloud Website Hosting Function?

In general, the authentic cloud website hosting solution serves various web hosting services like web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, and so on, on different sets of top-quality servers. Each different service pack creates a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the given service and nothing beside it. They will all work as one web server, sharing out the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there should be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will compose the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The massive cloud web hosting hoax. Quite modern now.

There is so much confusion circulating around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is excessively complicated. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud website hosting is. Based on this common ignorance, the "cloud hosting corporations" speculate strongly, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars a month. What a shame! A vast shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting industry there are no enactments at all. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such administrative institution. That is the reason why the hosting suppliers speculate and tell lies overtly (very directly, actually) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they in reality can offer.

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

If a cPanel-based web hosting distributor has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, multiple servers must be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this review. First, let's see what the cloud problems are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel hosting provider to have the cloud hosting platform at hand, for developing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced staff are not a problem, lots of cash must be spent too. Tons of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast predicament.

The shortage of open source cloud website hosting environments

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There aren't any open source website hosting Control Panel instruments (working with the cloud web hosting system) either. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first you have to devise one. In-house. Second of all, you must construct the web hosting Control Panel as well.

One server-based web hosting Control Panels

Contemporary hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are made to operate on one server solely. All website hosting services (disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the same time on one single web server where these respective single-server website hosting systems and website hosting CPs are set up.

The shortage of open source website hosting Control Panels

So, you have to create an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will operate unproblematically and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Proper examples of in-house created cloud website hosting platforms with in-house built web hosting CPs besides us, at Delva Cloud, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware provision fees

The smallest investment needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and almost unclouded!
