In general, the genuine cloud web site hosting platform serves different hosting services such as disk space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, site hosting CP, backup, etc., on different bunches of very advanced servers. Each separate service pack makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing else. They will all operate as one server, sharing out the service's load in practically identical proportions. If there is an authentic cloud hosting service, there must be: a web space cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a site hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will beget the so-called cloud hosting system.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is highly perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widely spread ignorance, the "cloud site hosting traders" speculate strongly, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is because in the web site hosting business niche there are no ordinances at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The site hosting industry has no such supervising organisation. This is the reason why the web space hosting merchandisers speculate and tell lies overtly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in reality can furnish.
If a cPanel-based web space hosting retailer has a cloud hosting system at hand, which is quite improbable, plenty of web servers have to be secured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's very improbable for a cPanel website hosting vendor to have the cloud web page hosting platform at hand, because of the fact that creating one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional staff are not an issue, a lot of cash must be spent too. Heaps of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous obstacle.
There are no open source cloud web site hosting solutions. There aren't any open source web site hosting CP tools (functioning with the cloud web page hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud web space hosting platform at hand, first of all you have to establish one. In-house. Secondly, you have to devise the web page hosting CP too.
Today's popular web space hosting Control Panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to run on a single web server solely. All website hosting services (data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on a single web server where these respective one-server site hosting platforms and web page hosting CPs are installed.
So, you must establish an in-house built webspace hosting Control Panel that will function uncomplicatedly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Proper examples of in-house invented cloud web hosting solutions with in-house developed webspace hosting CPs are: MediaTemple, ResellersPanel, FreeHostia, Lonex, 50Webs and NTC Hosting.
The smallest contribution demanded, only for the cloud web space hosting hardware provision, equals somewhere between 60,000 USD and 80,000 USD. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another fifteen-twenty thousand dollars. Now you realise how many cloud web space hosting platforms can be found out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
