An Explanation of Cloud Web Hosting

Reseller hosting and "THE BIG CLOUD"

These days, practically each and every hosting and reseller web hosting corporation plays with the phrase "cloud hosting". In reality, the hosting service providers using a real cloud web hosting platform are presumably less than the fingers of your both hands. That's worldwide. Why is it so? Because it's damn tough to concoct an actual cloud hosting system. In the first place, you need to choose the right persons. Second of all, it takes years for them to come up with the cloud web site hosting system. Finally, it involves a lot of money. Heaps of money. Not every developer or sysadmin can become part an enterprise like this one...


A few clouds in the blue webspace hosting horizon

Think about that: how many hybrid electric vehicle builders are out there? Toyota was the first pioneer of the repetitive flow production of hybrid vehicles. Started nearly 10 years ago. Recollecting anyone else? Huh? Series production? Come on. Attempt once again. Nissan recently has joined the club... going directly electric with the Leaf model. So, let's return to cloud web space hosting... It seems to us, the entire hosting sky is bright, with very petit clouds around (maybe just several). :-)

cPanel-based web hosting vs CLOUD HOSTING

How many of the cPanel-based reseller web hosting vendors out there deliver actual cloud web hosting services? Let's not forget, cPanel was set up for and still works only on one single hosting server. In no less than ninety nine point ninety nine percent of the cPanel installations in the world, cPanel works on one single server. To cut a long story short, the cPanel shared web hosting solution is a one-single-web-hosting-server-does-it-all type of a hosting platform. All disk storage, electronic mail, database, FTP, hosting CP, DNS, etc. tasks are being performed concurrently on one web hosting server.

Single-server web hosting platforms: the queue issue

Here's an instance: it's like running 8 software applications at one and the same time on your PC. The computer's performance invariably slows down dramatically, because of the fact that now there is a big queue with tasks waiting to be served or carried out (generated by these eight software programs running concurrently). Thus, when the cPanel-based web hosting reseller firms dub the web page hosting solutions on offer "cloud web site hosting-based", it's appropriate to ask them the question: "What type of cloud are you citing?"

The thick mist around the cPanel-based "cloud website hosting" platform

This so-called "cloud" these cPanel-dedicated guys are touching upon, in reality, to a certain extent, seems like an enormous haze or a heavy fog. Of course this is not a cloud, even a miniature one. In the best-case scenario, some of the cPanel hosting companies (probably just a few) manage to come up with a remote database or DNS server (or servers), and here we go, they instantly profess - we are "in the cloud" already. Yeah, right. Is it a night cloud? Because during the day we can't distinguish it on the horizon!
