Cloud is a very ambiguous term. To me a cloud is the abstraction of resources, scaling of which can be done on a colocation basis aswell.

I'm sure provisioining resources within the supplied hardware would be fast as any, and maintains privacy by default for apps where others can charge up to $40/hour/instance

Good thing is you usually don't have to, languages like php really try and makntain backwards compatability, so you _can_ keep doing what you're doing.

Even with some changes, companies rarely ride the wave and come onboard much later when major issues have been ironed out. Hell, there are PHP4 apps still out there
