Agreed.  When I read the title, I was thinking &quot;Oh, so you&#x27;d prefer to pay for dedicated servers?  What a pain!&quot;.<p>Though, I don&#x27;t think the author is upset about the <i>word</i>.  He&#x27;s just warning against services that fall within his definition of &quot;cloud&quot; - which is pretty fair.  Losing your stuff is no good, and there&#x27;s always cruddy services out there.
