Cloud (which I don't understand) I have a VM at rootbsd.net for my own personal use and we recently started using them for @work as well. For personal use I have their low-end package which does plenty for me, including hosting my vanity sites, one business site (non e-commerce), mail for a few domains, some DNS, etc. Zero load for the most part, excellent support from RootBSD, and I think it's less than 20 bucks/month.
