A distinction that is too fine for many people
I have to admit that I have never bothered to think about the distinction between cloud computing and web hosting. I only decided to look at this issue when I was requested to do some research on the two topics. For most people who are not particularly interested in the developments of Information Technology, the distinction can challenge their concentration.

Obviously there is a recognition that each company will benefit slightly differently depending on their idiosyncratic process but generally these points go across the spectrum of business activity.
