What Does Cloud Web Hosting Mean?
In general, the genuine cloud website hosting platform serves distinct website hosting services like web space, mail, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, etc., on independent packs of very advanced servers. Each separate service pack makes a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving only the given service and nothing else. They will all run as one server, sharing out the service's load in practically the same proportions. If there is a genuine cloud website hosting service, there must be: a disk space cluster, a mail cluster, an FTP cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a CP cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these separate service clusters will form the so-called cloud hosting platform.

The massive cloud website hosting deceit. Quite modern now.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud web hosting at the moment. As you can see, cloud website hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is excessively perplexing. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the wings of this common ignorance, the "cloud website hosting distributors" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A vast disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the website hosting industry niche there are no stipulations at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The web hosting industry niche has no such administrative body. This is why the web hosting vendors speculate and tell lies overtly (quite directly, in fact) to their clients. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's learn how much cloud web hosting they indeed can offer.
The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting corporations
If a cPanel-based web hosting provider has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is quite unbelievable, lots of web servers have to be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's find out what the cloud predicaments are. So, it's very unbelievable for a cPanel web hosting distributor to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because of the fact that establishing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a proficient staff are not an issue, lots of money has to be spent too. Piles of money. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's a great downside.
The absence of open source cloud website hosting solutions
There are no open source cloud web hosting platforms. There are no open source web hosting Control Panel interfaces (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud website hosting system at hand, first of all you must devise one. In-house. In the second place, you must invent the Control Panel too.
One server-based hosting CPs
Today's popular website hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are developed to run on one server only. All website hosting services (storage space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on one single web server where these specific one-server web hosting systems and web hosting CPs are set up.
The absence of open source website hosting CPs
So, you must develop an in-house built web hosting CP that will perform faultlessly and to include it within the cloud system, as if it was an inbuilt constituent of it. Good examples of custom set up cloud web hosting platforms with custom manufactured website hosting CPs besides us, at Diligo Host, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fares
The smallest investment needed, just for the cloud website hosting hardware provision, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's excluding the DDoS apparatus, which is another 15-20,000 dollars. Now you do know how many cloud website hosting systems can be chanced on out there... and, above all, why the hosting sky is so azure... and virtually unclouded!
