Actually, the authentic cloud hosting platform serves different website hosting services such as data storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent packs of high-end servers. Each single service group produces a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all run as one single web server, sharing the service's load in almost equivalent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud 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 stats cluster, a website hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these independent service clusters will construct the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The big cloud hosting hoax. Very widespread now.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is greatly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate intensely, just to secure the customer and his/her five bucks per month. What a disgrace! A big shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such legislative institution. This is why the web hosting vendors speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Especially the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they actually can supply.

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

If a cPanel-based hosting provider has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is quite unbelievable, multiple servers have to be obtained. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's see what the cloud complications are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel web hosting merchant to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, in that establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an experienced team are not a problem, a lot of cash must be spent as well. Heaps of money. What's more, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense predicament.

The lack of open source cloud hosting platforms

There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel user interfaces (operating with the cloud web hosting platform) either. Therefore, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first you must invent one. In-house. Second of all, you must fabricate the website hosting CP too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Famous website hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are intended to operate on one server only. All web hosting services (web space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served at one and the same time on one single server where these specific one-server web hosting systems and CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source web hosting CPs

So, you must establish a custom website hosting Control Panel that will run faultlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt constituent of it. Proper instances of in-house manufactured cloud website hosting platforms with in-house invented hosting Control Panels besides us, at Your Personal Server, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware provision charges

The smallest investment demanded, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you are well aware of how many cloud hosting systems can be encountered out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and virtually unclouded!
