Cloud Web Hosting Explained
Actually, the real cloud hosting platform serves various website hosting services like data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent bunches of top-notch web servers. Each separate service set generates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing aside from it. They will all function as one single web server, sharing the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud hosting service, there should be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will form the so-called cloud hosting system.

The colossal cloud website hosting fraud. Quite common now.
There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is highly perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. Based on this common unawareness, the "cloud web hosting firms" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the client and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! A great shame. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no rules at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry niche has no such regulatory body. That is why the hosting companies speculate and lie overtly (very bluntly, in fact) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud web hosting they indeed can provide.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting traders
If a cPanel-based web hosting merchant has a cloud web hosting system at hand, which is quite unbelievable, lots of servers have to be secured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that at the end of this article. First, let's find out what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel web hosting retailer to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because of the fact that constructing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not a problem, plenty of cash has to be spent as well. Mountains of cash. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's a great downside.
The absence of open source cloud hosting environments
There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel instruments (running with the cloud website hosting system) as well. So, to have a cloud hosting platform at hand, first you must devise one. In-house. Secondly, you must invent the website hosting CP as well.
Single server-based website hosting Control Panels
Famous CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on one server only. All web hosting services (storage space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served concurrently on one single server where these given single-server website hosting systems and website hosting CPs are installed.
The lack of open source website hosting CPs
So, you have to construct a custom web hosting CP that will work uncomplicatedly and to incorporate it within the cloud system, as if it was a natural constituent of it. Suitable examples of custom created cloud website hosting solutions with custom built web hosting Control Panels besides us, at eTesLa Technologies PC, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud hosting hardware provision fares
The smallest investment demanded, only for the cloud hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS tool, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you do know how many cloud hosting platforms can be stumbled upon out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and nearly unclouded!
