Actually, the authentic cloud website hosting platform serves various website hosting services such as disk space, email, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, website hosting CP, backup, and so on, on separate hosts of deluxe web servers. Each individual service group forms a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the specific service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one web server, sharing out the service's load in approximately equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there must be: a disk storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these separate service clusters will constitute the so-called cloud web hosting platform.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only sound complicated, but actually it is intensely complicated. Most of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud website hosting suppliers" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her five dollars a month. What a shame! An immense disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no statutes whatsoever. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such supervising organization. That is the reason why the website hosting firms speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, as a matter of fact) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's see how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.
If a cPanel-based hosting corporation has a cloud website hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, many hosting servers must be acquired. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First, let's examine what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's quite unlikely for a cPanel web hosting vendor to have the cloud website hosting system at hand, as making one takes years. Even when time and the provision of a highly qualified team are not a predicament, loads of cash has to be spent as well. Tons of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a great disadvantage.
There are no open source cloud website hosting environments. There are no open source hosting Control Panel GUIs (running with the cloud web hosting system) either. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to develop one. In-house. In the second place, you have to develop the Control Panel too.
Modern web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to run on one single server only. All website hosting services (data storage, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one web server where these given single-server website hosting platforms and web hosting Control Panels are installed.
So, you have to fabricate an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will work perfectly and to integrate it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Appropriate instances of in-house developed cloud web hosting solutions with custom invented web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Continental Network, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
The smallest contribution required, just for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between $60,000 USD and $80,000. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and virtually unclouded!
