What Does Cloud Hosting Signify?
Essentially, the actual cloud hosting solution serves distinct website hosting services such as storage space, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, etc., on autonomous stacks of avant-garde servers. Each individual service set makes a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the specific service and nothing else. They will all perform as one single server, sharing out the service's load in almost equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there has to be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these autonomous service clusters will construct the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The gigantic cloud web hosting scam. Very modern nowadays.
There is so much speculation circulating around about cloud web hosting these days. As you can perceive, cloud hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in fact it is supremely perplexing. The majority of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate eagerly, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a disgrace! An immense shame. This is because in the web hosting business there are no laws whatsoever. The domain industry niche has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such self-governing organization. That is why the hosting vendors speculate and lie openly (quite directly, as a matter of fact) to their clients. Particularly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can furnish.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting wholesalers
If a cPanel-based web hosting wholesaler has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is quite unlikely, numerous hosting servers have to be ensured. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this article. First, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting firm to have the cloud web hosting platform at hand, due to the fact that creating one requires years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a predicament, loads of money must be spent as well. Mountains of money. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's a vast drawback.
The absence of open source cloud hosting systems
There aren't any open source cloud web hosting systems. There aren't any open source Control Panel user interfaces (operating with the cloud website hosting platform) as well. So, to have a cloud hosting system at hand, in the first place you must make one. In-house. Secondly, you must construct the web hosting CP too.
One server-based web hosting Control Panels
Today's popular website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to operate on a single server only. All web hosting services (web space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one web server where these respective one-server website hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are installed.
The shortage of open source website hosting CPs
So, you must devise a custom website hosting Control Panel that will operate flawlessly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt part of it. Proper examples of custom set up cloud hosting solutions with in-house set up website hosting CPs besides us, at ReactR, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud hosting hardware equipment prices
The minimal investment required, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between 60,000 dollars and 80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, in particular, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
