    Nice article. You really laid things out there in an easy to understand manner that helps those who are just entering the cloud. Much like standard web hosting, the cloud market has come to be dominated by a few major players, and I think in the coming years, we’ll a lot of the users of those big boys migrating to smaller cloud providers that can offer a more customized level of service and personal touch. Just my two cents. Thanks again.

    Thanks Williams for the input. Yes, agreed with you; smaller cloud providers can offer a customized level of service in future. After a time, the bigger will get saturated to offer good quality of support to an average user. Practically all of us saw this phenomenon to happen for traditional hosting services.
