What Does Cloud Website Hosting Represent?
In general, the real cloud web hosting platform serves individual web hosting services such as web space, electronic mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc., on separate hosts of very powerful servers. Each single service pack creates a cluster. All the web hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the particular service and nothing aside from it. They will all work as one single server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equal proportions. If there is a genuine cloud web hosting service, there has to be: a storage space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these independent service clusters will make the so-called cloud website hosting platform.

The massive cloud web hosting scam. Quite modern these days.
There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting nowadays. As you can see, cloud web hosting does not only sound complicated, but in fact it is highly perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. Based on this popular ignorance, the "cloud hosting wholesalers" speculate feverishly, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is owing to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no ordinances at all. The domain industry has ICANN. The hosting industry has no such regulative organization. That is why the hosting providers speculate and lie overtly (very directly, in fact) to their clients. Especially the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's examine how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" hosting traders
If a cPanel-based website hosting wholesaler has a cloud website hosting solution at hand, which is very improbable, plenty of web servers must be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First, let's explore what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel hosting vendor to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, as creating one takes years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not a predicament, loads of money must be spent too. Heaps of cash. Plus, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense defect.
The shortage of open source cloud web hosting solutions
There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel GUIs (operating with the cloud website hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting system at hand, in the first place you must create one. In-house. Second of all, you have to make the hosting Control Panel as well.
One server-based website hosting Control Panels
Contemporary web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to perform on one web server only. All hosting services (web space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting CP, backup, and so on) are being served simultaneously on one single web server where these specific one-server website hosting systems and website hosting CPs are set up.
The lack of open source web hosting Control Panels
So, you have to establish an in-house built website hosting CP that will run uncomplicatedly and to add it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Proper examples of in-house set up cloud hosting solutions with custom set up website hosting CPs besides us, at Ace Own, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud web hosting hardware equipment charges
The minimal investment wanted, only for the cloud web hosting hardware provision, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another $15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, especially, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and practically unclouded!
