vps.net runs their cloud hosting on onapp software.. so if you buy one of their cloud packages, it is indeed a cloud server

You can tell them that you are hosted in vps.net's cloud i guess.. or they can check the ip they are hosted on, should lead them to vps.net ip range

The cloud is cloudy. When intel releases their new Cloud Processor everyone will be able to do cloud CPU computing even with one computer.
The real question is "Will it blend?" not is it cloud.

Still a interesting question, because how do you know as a client you are running on cloud technology?

Any Cloud provider should be able to release to you the details of how or why they're labeled as 'Cloud'.
Essentially, any reputable provider you can likely just take their word for it.

What is Cloud...
The cloud is a set of services and technologies that enable the delivery of computing services over the Internet in real-time, allowing end-users instant access to data and applications from any device with Internet access.
A cloud provider can provide any one of these things:
IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service
PaaS - Platform as a Service
SaaS - Software as a Service (although I believe that SaaS is a component of the overall cloud and sometimes viewed as "Cloud Apps")
Hopefully this helps a little!

More than 95% of the service providers sell VPS in the name of Cloud Hosting making it a marketing term rather than a technical term. In reality it is something that VARDynamicsCM pointed out to be. Cloud provides elasticity wherein you can grow as much as you want. In other terms your application may require a processor equivalent to 2.0 GHz and 1 GB RAM and at some stage the requirement may be 3 GHz and 2 GB RAM. Cloud will allow you to expand the computing cycles as well as the memory as per your requirement and you will be charged only for what you use and not for what is allotted to you. In simpler terms, it works on the "Pay as you go" model. Normally cloud computing will be sold on per hour basis by cloud computing providers. Also, to enable your application to run smoothly on the cloud, you have to develop it accordingly. For example, your application may be a E-Commerce application and while a payment transaction is performed, the resources available to your application may reach its capacity. In this case, you get option to increase the resources without disconnecting the session. Such is the power of cloud computing.
Some may argue that even in case of VPS, we get option to increase the resources at runtime without downtime. This is true in case of a VPS, but is not a valid point to prove it as cloud. The resources available to the VPS will be limited to the resources available to the main hardware node. It cannot grow beyond that. In case of a real Cloud, this will never be an hindrance since the Cloud is actually spread between multiple servers with proper load balancing and a Storage Network.Prashant T.

cPanel can run ontop of a cloud hosting platform, but cPanel is not cloud.
Some people have even made multi tiered applications with cPanel that way if cPanel crashes your sites do not crash. Some places dont even use a control panel, you basically upload your files, upload your SQL, and your done.

cPanel is not equal to Cloud. cPanel is a software and can be deployed on any hosting server, whether Cloud, VPS or Dedicated.
As this is WHT, we often refer Cloud to "Infrastructure as a service" (also known as Cloud Hosting).
In a true cloud hosting environment, users can have the following advantages:
- pay as you use
- scalable & flexible
- higher availability
There could be other advantages as well. Some users even reported a better security against DDOS and IDS.Jweeb Solutions
