It’s not a type of server, or any particular service, location, company. The cloud as of now doesn’t have any real definition, the major players are working to define it, but for now you can count on the only items included without a doubt is the ability to interact with a system independent of location, with fairly quick response times similarly to having that service/system running on a local network. I’m hoping there is a push to be independent of hardware or operating systems, but it’s a stretch in my eyes.

What are you planning on gaining from the cloud server?

You should be able to pick up some clues from the output.
