cPanel Cloud Web Space Hosting Services
Reseller hosting and "THE BIG CLOUD"
Today, nearly every web hosting and reseller hosting service provider toys with the saying "cloud hosting". As it happens, the site hosting companies using a real cloud hosting platform are perchance less than the fingers of your two hands. That's an established fact. Why is it so? Because it's damn tough to devise an authentic cloud web page hosting platform. In the first place, you must discover the proper people. Secondly, it takes years for them to construct the cloud webspace hosting system. Finally, it requires a lot of cash. Heaps of money. Not every software developer or sysadmin can take part in a project like this one...
A couple of clouds in the turquoise web hosting horizon
Meditate upon the following: how many hybrid electric vehicle builders are out there? Toyota was the oldest trailblazer of the series production of hybrid electric vehicles. Began approximately 10 years ago. Recalling anyone else? Huh? Mass production? Come on. Try once again. Nissan lately has joined the pack... going straightway electric with the Leaf model. So, let's get back to cloud hosting... It seems to us, the entire web hosting sky is turquoise, with very minute clouds around (probably just a few). :-)
cPanel web hosting versus CLOUD WEBSITE HOSTING
How many of the cPanel-based reseller hosting suppliers out there provide authentic cloud hosting services? Let's not ignore, cPanel was created for and still works only on one hosting server. In no less than ninety nine point ninety nine percent of the cPanel installations in the world, cPanel runs on a single web server. To cut a long story short, the cPanel-based web page hosting platform is a one-server-does-it-all type of a site hosting platform. All disk space, mail, database, FTP, webspace hosting CP, DNS, etc. tasks are being served simultaneously on one web server.
Single-server web site hosting systems: the queue predicament
Here's an illustration: it's like running eight software applications simultaneously on your personal computer. The computer's performance invariably slows down noticeably, because of the fact that now there is a big queue with requests waiting to be served or carried out (created by these 8 software programs running at one and the same time). So, when the cPanel-based web hosting reseller corporations call the web page hosting solutions that are being offered "cloud hosting-based", it's appropriate to question them: "What sort of cloud are you hinting at?"
The dense mist around the cPanel-based "cloud site hosting" platform
This so-called "cloud" these cPanel-ardent chaps are citing, in actuality, to a certain extent, seems like a vast haze or a heavy smog. Undoubtedly this is not a cloud, even a petit one. In the best-case scenario, some of the cPanel web hosting vendors (maybe just several) succeed to come up with a remote database or DNS name server (or servers), and here you are, they immediately profess - we are "in the cloud" now. Yeah, right. Is it a nighttime cloud? Because during the day we can't distinguish it on the horizon!
