What does it mean to host a personal cloud vs hosting a server? I thought the point of using cloud services was so you didn’t have to host it yourself.
Aren't a lot of people just using cloud instead of server now? It's similar to people saying I run on EC2, which is a server, and 95% of the time it's basically a VM.
I am using "personal cloud" to refer to the set of "cloud services" that I am hosting myself on my own server. The advantage of having the server is that my devices have a central syncing hub, and the advantage of hosting myself is no need to trust third parties. There are obviously disadvantages, like having to host it myself.
