Cloud Website Hosting Description

What is cloud hosting indeed? The word 'cloud' seems to be quite modern in today's IT, Internet and hosting lingo. Nevertheless, only a select few actually can say what cloud hosting is. Probably it is a smart idea to inform yourself about cloud hosting services. To render a very long tale brief, we will first notify you about what cloud hosting is not.

1. Cloud Hosting is Not Limited to a Remote File Storage Solely.

1. Supplying a remote file storage solution, which comprises one disk storage tool for all customers, does not convert any given web hosting provider into an authentic cloud hosting solutions provider.

The cPanel web hosting distributors call the ability to furnish remote data storage solutions a cloud hosting service. Up until now there is nothing bad about the cloud classification, but... we are discussing hosting services, not remote disk storage services for individual or corporate purposes. There's constantly one "but", isn't there? It's not enough to name a shared web hosting service, based on a single-server hosting environment, just like cPanel, a "cloud hosting" solution. This is so because the remaining pieces of the entire web hosting platform must be working in precisely the same manner - this does not relate solely to the remote data storage. The remaining services entailed in the entire hosting process also have to be remote, isolated and "clouded". And that's very tough. A very scanty number of hosting providers can actually accomplish it.

2. It Encompasses Domain Names, E-mail Aliases, Databases, File Transfer Protocols, Web Hosting Control Panels, etc.

Cloud hosting is not restricted to a remote file storage exclusively. We are discussing a hosting service, serving many domains, web sites, mailbox accounts, and so on, are we not?

To dub a hosting service a "cloud hosting" one calls for a lot more than supplying plainly remote disk storage mounts (or maybe servers). The mail server(s) have to be devoted only to the email related services. Executing nothing else than these concrete assignments. There might be just one single or possibly a whole bundle of email servers, based on the total load created. To have a real cloud hosting service, the remote database servers should be operating as one, regardless of their actual number. Doing nothing different. The same goes for the users' hosting Control Panels, the File Transfer Protocol, etc.

3. There are Cloud Domain Name Servers (DNSs) too.

The DNSs (Domain Name Servers) of an authentic cloud hosting services provider will support numerous datacenter locations on different continents.

Here's an example of a DNS of a true cloud hosting plans provider:


dns1.saleshub.host

dns2.saleshub.host


If such a DNS is furnished by your hosting provider, it's not a sure thing that there is a cloud hosting environment in use, but you can definitely be certain when you spot a DNS like the one beneath:


dns658.hostgator.com

dns659.hostgator.com


that there isn't any cloud hosting service. This sort of Domain Name Server only demonstrates that the web hosting platform in use is one-server based. Perchance it's cPanel. cPanel is a one-server hosting solution and has a market share of more than ninety eight percent. In cPanel's case, a single physical server is responsible for all hosting services (web, e-mail, DNS, databases, File Transfer Protocol, Control Panel(s), website files, etc.).

Remote File Storage - The Warped Description of Cloud Hosting.

So, a cloud hosting solution is not limited exclusively to a remote data storage service, as plenty of web hosting vendors wish it was. Unluckily for them, if that was the case, the majority of the file hosting firms would have been referred to as cloud hosting ones long ago! They are not referred to as such, as they simply deliver file hosting services, not cloud web hosting services. The file web hosting platform seems really quite plain, in comparison with the web hosting platform. The remote file storage platform is not a cloud web hosting platform. It cannot be, as it's only one small part of the whole cloud hosting platform. There's a lot more to be encountered in the cloud web hosting platform: the hosting Control Panel cloud, the database clouds (MySQL, PostgreSQL), the DNS cloud, the File Transfer Protocol cloud, the electronic mail cloud and... in the foreseeable future, possibly a couple of brand new clouds we presently are not acquainted with will appear out of nowhere.
