The above description of the cloud hosting operation is tailor made for the Internet. Where, exactly, is the Internet? You cannot go to a particular building, anywhere in the world and say: There is the Internet. It exists on so many different servers and computers all over the world that in order to have some kind of idea about how big it actually is, is truly an exercise in futility. Every day thousands of web pages are uploaded to the Internet and every day more and more computers, or terminals to this great cloud, are turned on and added to this great big overwhelming sky full of clouds.
Everyone has access to the vast majority of the information and data that is available on this cloud and all can have the ability to get in and manipulate this information for their own self interested purposes. That is truly sharing on a global scale and what the purpose of clouds is. Most hosting companies today, provide access to this cloud.
