Explanation of Cloud Web Hosting
Essentially, the actual cloud web hosting platform serves separate hosting services like disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent stacks of cutting-edge web servers. Each individual service set makes a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are dedicated to serving only the particular service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one single web server, sharing out the service's load in almost the same proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a web space cluster, an electronic mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a web hosting CP cluster, a backup cluster, etc. All these individual service clusters will compose the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The huge cloud web hosting swindle. Very common these days.
There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting nowadays. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only appear perplexing, but in fact it is supremely perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this popular ignorance, the "cloud web hosting corporations" speculate fiercely, just to secure the client and his/her 5 dollars per month. What a disgrace! An enormous shame. This is because in the web hosting industry there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The web hosting industry has no such self-controlling body. That is why the website hosting merchants speculate and lie openly (very directly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they actually can deliver.
The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting vendors
If a cPanel-based web hosting firm has a cloud website hosting system at hand, which is very unbelievable, lots of web hosting servers have to be paid for. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting provider to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, because of the fact that making one takes years. Even when time and the provision of expert personnel are not a problem, loads of cash has to be spent as well. Piles of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense inconvenience.
The shortage of open source cloud web hosting systems
There aren't any open source cloud web hosting environments. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel instruments (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) either. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting platform at hand, first you must invent one. In-house. Second of all, you have to construct the web hosting CP as well.
One server-based website hosting CPs
Today's popular CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are invented to perform on one web server only. All web hosting services (disk storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, hosting Control Panel, backup, etc.) are being served at one and the same time on one web server where these given single-server web hosting systems and web hosting CPs are installed.
The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels
So, you must devise an in-house built website hosting Control Panel that will function uncomplicatedly and to include it within the cloud platform, as if it was an indelible part of it. Proper instances of in-house created cloud web hosting systems with in-house devised hosting CPs besides us, at eTesLa Technologies LLC, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.
Cloud web hosting hardware provision expenses
The smallest investment required, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between 60,000 dollars and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another $15-20,000. Now you do know how many cloud web hosting platforms can be discovered out there... and, especially, why the hosting sky is so azure... and practically cloudless!
