What In Fact is Cloud Website Hosting?

What is cloud web hosting in fact? The word 'cloud' appears to be very modern in today's IT, World Wide Web and hosting terminology. However, just a select few in fact know what cloud hosting is. Probably it is a fine idea to inform yourself about cloud web hosting services. To render a quite lengthy tale short, we will first reveal to you what cloud hosting is not.

1. Cloud Web Hosting is Not Limited to a Remote Disk Storage Exclusively.

1. Furnishing a remote file storage solution, which involves one single file storage tool for all customers, does not convert any specific hosting vendor into an authentic cloud web hosting plans provider.

The cPanel hosting suppliers call the ability to provide remote file storage services a cloud web hosting solution. Up to now there is nothing wrong with the cloud terminology, but... we are discussing hosting solutions, not remote file storage services for individual or business needs. There's constantly one "but", isn't there? It's not sufficient to dub a shared web hosting service, based on a one-single-server web hosting environment, precisely like cPanel, a "cloud web hosting" solution. This is so because the remaining constituents of the entire web hosting platform must be functioning in exactly the same way - this does not refer only to the remote data storage. The remaining services entailed in the whole hosting procedure also have to be remote, separated and "clouded". And that's quite hard. A very small number of web hosting companies can actually attain it.

2. It Includes Domains, E-mail Boxes, Databases, File Transfer Protocols, Hosting CPs, and so on.

Cloud web hosting is not limited to a remote data storage solely. We are talking about a web hosting solution, serving a lot of domains, web sites, e-mail boxes, etc., right?

To dub a hosting service a "cloud web hosting" one takes a lot more than supplying simply remote disk storage mounts (or possibly physical servers). The e-mail server(s) need to be dedicated exclusively to the email related services. Doing nothing else than these specific procedures. There might be only one single or perhaps a whole bundle of email servers, determined by the overall load generated. To have a genuine cloud web hosting solution, the remote database servers should be functioning as one, regardless of their real quantity. Executing nothing different. The same goes for the users' hosting Control Panels, the File Transfer Protocol, and so on.

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

The DNSs (Domain Name Servers) of a genuine cloud web hosting services provider will support multiple server farm facility locations on multiple continents.

Here's an instance of a Domain Name Server of a true cloud web hosting vendor:


dns1.conexionextendida.com

dns2.conexionextendida.com


If such a DNS is provided by your hosting solutions provider, it's not a guarantee that there is a cloud web hosting environment in use, but you can absolutely be sure when you notice a Domain Name Server like the one beneath:


dns658.hostgator.com

dns659.hostgator.com


that there isn't any cloud web hosting platform. This kind of DNS merely illustrates that the web hosting platform in use is one-single-server based. Maybe it's cPanel. cPanel is a single-server hosting platform and has a market share of more than 98%. In cPanel's case, a single physical server deals with all hosting services (web, electronic mail, DNS, databases, File Transfer Protocol, Control Panel(s), web files, etc.).

Remote File Storage - The Distorted Description of Cloud Web Hosting.

So, a cloud web hosting service is not limited exclusively to a remote file storage service, as multiple hosting providers wish it was. Unluckily for them, if that was the case, the majority of the file web hosting suppliers would have been classified as cloud hosting ones a long time ago! They are not referred to as such, since they merely offer file hosting solutions, not cloud web hosting solutions. The file web hosting platform seems really very simple, when compared to the web hosting platform. The remote data storage platform is not a cloud web hosting platform. It cannot be, since it's merely one small constituent of the entire cloud web hosting platform. There's plenty more to be discovered in the cloud hosting platform: the Control Panel cloud, the database clouds (MySQL, PostgreSQL), the DNS cloud, the File Transfer Protocol cloud, the mail cloud and... in the near future, possibly a few brand new clouds we currently are not informed about will surface out of the blue.
