Cloud hosting is something relatively new to the hosting space and most people don’t really get what cloud hosting really is about.
At Triple O Hosting, we will demonstrate you everything you need to understand about cloud web hosting.

HOW CLOUD WEB HOSTING WORKS

What is cloud web hosting really? The term ‘cloud’ seems to be quite modern in today’s IT, World Wide Web and web hosting parlance. In spite of that, just a select few really know what cloud hosting is. Probably it is a fine idea to educate yourself about cloud web hosting services. To make a quite long story short, we will firstly disclose to you what cloud hosting is not.

1. CLOUD WEB HOSTING IS NOT CONFINED TO A REMOTE DISK STORAGE ONLY.
2. Furnishing a remote file storage solution, which comprises one file storage appliance for all clients, does not convert any specific hosting company into an actual cloud web hosting vendor.

The cPanel web hosting companies name the ability to supply remote disk storage services a cloud web hosting solution. Up until now there is nothing wrong with the cloud classification, but… we are talking about website hosting solutions, not remote data storage services for personal or business needs. There’s always one “but”, isn’t there? It’s not sufficient to name a shared hosting service, powered by a one-single-server web hosting environment, just like cPanel, a “cloud web hosting” service. That’s because the other pieces of the entire web hosting platform must be operating in exactly the same way – this does not refer solely to the remote data storage. The rest of the services involved in the whole hosting procedure also must be remote, separated and “clouded”. And that’s very tough. A very small number of web hosting distributors can actually do it.

2. IT ENTAILS DOMAIN NAMES, E-MAIL ADDRESSES, DATABASES, FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOLS, CONTROL PANELS, ETC.

Cloud web hosting is not restricted to a remote disk storage exclusively. We are discussing a web hosting service, serving lots of domains, sites, e-mailbox accounts, etc., are we not?

To call a hosting service a “cloud web hosting” one takes a lot more than distributing simply remote file storage mounts (or maybe physical servers). The electronic mail server(s) must be devoted solely to the electronic mail linked services. Performing nothing different than these particular assignments. There might be just one single or possibly an entire set of email servers, depending on the total server load produced. To have a real cloud web hosting service, the remote database servers should be working as one, regardless of their real quantity. Executing nothing else. The same is valid for the customers’ web hosting Control Panels, the FTP, and so on.

3. THERE ARE CLOUD DOMAIN NAME SERVERS (DNSS) TOO.

The DNSs (Domain Name Servers) of a genuine cloud web hosting distributor will support numerous data center facility locations on different continents.

Here’s an instance of a Domain Name Server of a genuine cloud web hosting corporation:

• dns1.tripleohosting.com
• dns2.tripleohosting.com

If such a Domain Name Server is provided by your hosting supplier, it’s not a guarantee that there is a cloud web hosting platform in use, but you can absolutely be confident when you observe a DNS like the one underneath:

• dns658.hostgator.com
• dns659.hostgator.com

that there isn’t any cloud web hosting service. This type of Domain Name Server simply shows that the hosting platform in use is one-server based. Probably it’s cPanel. cPanel is a one-server hosting solution and has a market share of more than 98 percent. In cPanel’s case, one single physical machine is responsible for all web hosting services (web, electronic mail, DNS, databases, FTP, hosting CP(s), web files, and so on).

4.REMOTE FILE STORAGE – THE WARPED DESCRIPTION OF CLOUD WEB HOSTING.

So, a cloud web hosting solution is not limited solely to a remote file storage service, as numerous hosting providers wish it was. Unfortunately for them, if that was the case, most of the file web hosting service providers would have been categorized as cloud hosting ones a long time back! They are not referred to as such, as they simply furnish file hosting solutions, not cloud web hosting services. The file web hosting platform looks indeed quite plain, when compared to the web hosting platform. The remote disk storage platform is not a cloud hosting platform. It cannot be, since it’s simply one small part of the entire cloud hosting platform. There’s plenty more to be discovered in the cloud hosting platform: the web hosting Control Panel cloud, the database clouds (MySQL, PostgreSQL), the Domain Name Server cloud, the FTP cloud, the e-mail cloud and… in the near future, probably a bunch of brand new clouds we currently are not informed about will appear out of the blue.

What is the best hosting plan for you and your website? How to select the best hosting provider? Should you pick a VPS or a dedicated server? Learn all that you must know with this hosting article.

TOP HOSTING PLANS

There are different kinds of shared hosting accounts suitable for different web sites in regard to the resources or the shared hosting environment they demand. To select the most relevant shared hosting service for your web page, you have to calculate what server-side software it needs, how many visits per day you anticipate at the start and in the future, as well as any other specific requirements that may need to be satisfied.

SHARED WEBSITE HOSTING – POSITIVE POINTS

The most adequate alternative for small scale online portals with a few hundred or several thousand viewers is a shared hosting account. With this type of web site hosting, each customer pays only for their account, which reduces the total price per person significantly. There are different web hosting accounts varying from one host to another, delivering different amounts of web storage space and web traffic, different email box account quotas and so on. The plus is that you can order an account that will offer the features your site really needs. You will not need to pay plenty of money for an account you will not make use of, or wind up with a small sized account that cannot shelter the web portal. We, at Triple O Hosting, offer a large collection of shared hosting accounts suitable for personal or small business pages that even offer pre-installed script-based systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress – to render things easier. If you begin with a cheaper package and you require more functionalities, upgrading to a more feature-rich package demands only a mouse click.

SHARED HOSTING – WEAK POINTS

A drawback of the shared web hosting environment is that the web servers have some software platforms installed on them and you are unable to activate new software platforms. Some web pages, especially web stores, require software applications to be present on the web server for them to function, and with a shared hosting package, you can activate solely software that does not demand root-level access.

VIRTUAL WEB SERVERS AND DEDICATED WEB HOSTING SERVERS

For online portals that request full server root access, or if your web page has many thousands or even 1 000 000’s of daily viewers, what you demand is a VPS hosting or a dedicated server. A virtual server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it runs in precisely the same manner.

VIRTUAL HOSTING SERVERS

Both environments generally provide full root-level access and can be restarted via a software tool by the customer, independently from the web hosting supplier. Analogous to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS hosting and the dedicated web server hosting accounts involve different functionalities based on what the web hosting company has to offer. A Virtual Private Server account includes guaranteed storage space, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can at times be enhanced for short spells of time in case there are available system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated web hosting server, the only limitation is the hardware architecture it is using, and it can be configured by changing or appending components. A virtual private web server is simpler to cope with as it involves a virtualization platform, which can be used to restart it, to install software applications, check statistics, etc. The administration of a dedicated web server is more complicated, so such a solution would rather be used by competent customers.

DEDICATED WEB SERVERS

Yet, given hosting firms provide managed dedicated hosting services where they execute dedicated web server management procedures instead of the client. This can be a part of package or an additional option.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE…

Picking the top hosting package is essential as it can influence the stable operation of a web site. Before opting for a plan, weigh the pros and cons, survey thoroughly all the requirements for the web portal to perform properly, particularly if it is script-powered. And if you are still unsure which is the best shared hosting service for you, consult with our live chat operators or call us – our sales representatives will be happy to help you and answer all your questions.

Low-cost or affordable web hosting doesn’t mean underpowered web hosting. In today’s world, many hosting providers lower their pricing to attract more clients. Learn what is the difference between affordable hosting and downright bad hosting solutions.

LOW-COST WEBSITE HOSTING SOLUTIONS

As the IT business evolves all the time, brand new cheap hosting solutions are introduced to make web page creation and administration simpler than ever. A shared hosting plan with the smallest hard disk storage space and monthly bandwidth amounts used to cost 10’s of dollars per month, but at present, some providers provide unlimited packages for just a fraction of this price, allowing persons and small-scale corporations to take their place in the online world.

CHEAP, DEPENDABLE SHARED HOSTING PLANS

The invention of more robust configurations and the allocation of different tasks between several web hosting servers permit service providers to offer quality, yet cheap hosting solutions. With a shared hosting account, every client gets an account on a hosting server and because a number of other customers share the very same server, the price of the account is quite low. Based on the specific provider, there may be web storage space, traffic or CPU load limits, but because of the immense rivalry on the market and the aforesaid distribution of tasks, most leading corporations offer unmetered feature plans. The most common limitation is linked to the central processing unit load, and such a quota restriction is a way for the supplier to ensure that all accounts on the hosting server will have sufficient resources and that if a single account overloads the web server, it will not have a bad effect on the other ones, inducing all the online portals on the web server to go down. A shared hosting plan can be utilized for any small or medium-sized page – from a personal weblog, to a forum or a small-sized online storefront.

AFFORDABLE VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVERS

For more famous online portals that get thousands of hits every day, there is also a modestly priced, robust solution – a VPS hosting. With this kind of cheap hosting, there are just a few accounts on a physical machine, which still maintains the price quite affordable in comparison with a dedicated server hosting. Each private virtual web hosting server has sufficient resources that are much more than those of a shared web hosting package, which makes it achievable for people to create big web shops, e-learning web pages with hundreds or thousands of visitors, and sizable corporate websites. Similar to the shared website hosting plans, the VPS plans have one or more features with a pre-defined quota, which ensures the flawless operation of the other accounts on the server. The advantage of the VPS web server is that the client has full root-level access, i.e. services can be started and ceased, any software program can be activated, and the server can be restarted using a virtualization tool, also popular as a container. Since some script-based portals request supplementary server-side software to be activated, having root-level access is fundamental factor for these pages to run flawlessly.

A VARIETY OF WEB HOSTING CONTROL PANEL ALTERNATIVES

The web content is managed through a web hosting Control Panel just as any shared package. The web hosting Control Panel types vary on the basis of the website hosting corporation, but the most popular ones are Hepsia, cPanel, Direct Admin, Plesk and H-Sphere, and they all give you the necessary functionalities to maintain your websites, to set up and handle files, databases and emails, add password defended areas, install scripts through a script-installer platform, and observe web traffic statistics for your domain names. Regrettably, only Hepsia offers domain registrations, transfers, renewals and plenty of domain name administration options, through a remarkably easy-to-use section called Domain Manager.
