Hi all, i am very happy with Rapid Weaver and Just Host as my Web Space host (using FTP to upload etc).
I am getting very confused when Hosting companies talk about HOST your site on a Cloud !!, are they trying to get on the Apple iCloud band wagon ?.
Surely ALL site's ARE hosted on a Server, which is really a computer sitting somewhere in somebodies bedroom !. So why do they say hosted on a CLOUD, it also seems an excuse for charging more that the more conventional hosting methods.
The company who looks after my domain name told of a company called SQUARESPACE who only HOST sites on a CLOUD, cheapest is $13.33 a month and you do all your editing online using there templates etc.it just seems a big rip off to me.
