In a Cloud Hosting environment, you are taking “many” dedicated servers and interconnecting them, and then running a control panel such as cPanel to manage all the operations and accounts on these servers.
Think of a “cloud” as a giant server with unlimited capacity. In a shared hosting environment when all your small accounts have outgrown that 1 dedicated server, you have to take the server down and upgrade it, and in some cases move some accounts to another dedicated server, in a cloud environment, you can simply do what we call a “live swap”, that means while the “cloud” or server are all online and serving websites, you simply add one more server to the complete cluster.
