What does this have to do with "cloud"? Seems like confusing messaging.

If I'm not paying by the CPU hour, then it isn't "cloud".



Hmm, I've never heard that definition. Maybe "cloud hosting". But in general, "cloud" software just means hosted somewhere else and usually accessed via a browser or mobile app rather than with a local install.


You just described every website ever.


I build "cloud" contact center software. To most people it just means no servers at the customer site. To discerning customers, cloud means horiz-scaling, while hosted just means we manage the servers for you.
