    If you mean the providers just labelling their SolusVM OpenVZ VPSes as Cloud then yes. If you are talking about true HA, Shared / Distributed storage, Scalability - No. It requires investment, knowledge and ability that most "summer hosts" lack.

    Also, keep this in mind: there are customers out there who aren't willing to pay more than $5 / month for their hosting, regardless of how buzzword-laiden it is. Especially when shared hosting serves the needs of so many customers very well. Even if you got HA / distributed hosting down to that price, those customers still won't want to worry about OS updates, memory usage, CPU load, control panel licensing, etc -- they just want it to work.

    It all depends on the providers definition of a cloud platform. Does running a typical shared hosting panel like cpanel within a HA environment = Cloud? If yes, it's already possible to hit typical price points. However, if you view the cloud as each user having their own segregated HA environment, than licensing and admin costs will raise pricing.

    Regarding your question specifically, I'd say yes, if the market shifts to cloud the hosts will follow.

    So does mine , Like any industry we hosts will also have to upgrade our self but the change will be a slow one. Nothing to be scared at this stage.

    There are only few providers who provide true Cloud service, everyone has there own meaning of Cloud hosting and cloud isn't too affordable at this stage but Yes Cloud Hosting is something that is here to stay. Like it or hate it.
