Cloud computing means using multiple server computers by a digital network, as though they were computer. Often, the services obtainable are thought about part of cloud computing. Historicallyin the past, without a cloud, a web server runs as a single computer or a group of privately owned computers. The computer(s) are powerful to serve a given amount of requests per minute & can do so with a positive amount of latency per request. If the computer's web-site or web application suddenly becomes more popular, & the amount of requests are far over the net server can handle, the response time of the requested pages will be increased due to overloading. On the other hand, in times of low load much of the capacity will go unused.
If the net site, service, or web application is hosted in a cloud, however, additional processing & compute power is obtainable from the cloud provider. The net site would share those servers with perhaps thousands of other sites varying size & memory. If the net site suddenly becomes more popular, the cloud can automatically direct more individual computers to work to serve pages for the site, & more money is paid for the additional usage. If it becomes unpopular, however, the amount of money due will be less. Cloud computing is popular for its pay-as-you-go pricing model.

Clouds are sometimes set up within huge corporations, or other institutions, so that lots of users all share the same server power. As computer power gets cheaper, lots of different applications are provided & managed by the cloud server. In lots of cases, users might not download & install applications on their own gizmo or computer; all processing & storage is maintained by the cloud server.
