Now, practically each and every web hosting and reseller hosting vendor plays with the idiom "cloud web hosting". As it is, the hosting suppliers availing of an authentic cloud web hosting platform are perchance less than the fingers of your both hands. That's a notorious fact. Why is it so? Because it's damn troublesome to establish a genuine cloud web site hosting platform. In the first place, you must select the right persons. Secondly, it takes years for them to develop the cloud web site hosting platform. Last, but definitely not least, it requires lots of money. Heaps of cash. Not every software developer or administrator can be involved in a task like this one...
Ruminate about that: how many hybrid vehicle companies are out there? Toyota was the initial pioneer of the mass production of hybrid vehicles. Began approximately a decade ago. Recalling anyone else? Huh? Serial production? Come on. Try again. Nissan recently has joined the group... going straightway electric with the Leaf prototype. So, let's return to cloud web page hosting... It seems to us, the whole web hosting sky is sapphire, with very minute clouds around (perchance only several). :-)
How many of the cPanel-based reseller hosting vendors in existence offer real cloud hosting services? Let's not ignore, cPanel was invented for and still runs only on one web server. In no less than 99.99 percent of the cPanel installations worldwide, cPanel works on one hosting server. To cut a long story short, the cPanel hosting platform is a one-hosting-server-does-it-all type of a web site hosting platform. All disk storage, email, database, FTP, site hosting CP, DNS, etc. services are being performed at the same time on one single server.
Here's an illustration: it's like running eight software applications concurrently on your PC. The personal computer's performance invariably slows down dramatically, owing to the fact that now there is a great queue with tasks awaiting to be served or completed (generated by these eight software applications running simultaneously). Thus, when the cPanel web site hosting reseller firms call the hosting services that are being offered "cloud web space hosting-based", it's appropriate to enquire: "What kind of cloud are you citing?"
This so-called "cloud" these cPanel-obsessed guys are talking about, in actuality, more or less, seems like a big haze or a thick fog. Doubtlessly this is not a cloud, even a little one. In the best case, some of the cPanel web hosting companies (perhaps only several) manage to establish a remote database or DNS name server (or servers), and here you are, they directly state - we are "in the cloud" already. Yeah, right. Is it a night cloud? Because in the daylight we can't perceive it on the horizon!
