I am only just starting to use a cloud server from Amazon, main reason is i am able to upload my excel and Gruss software and run it with no issues, since i am no longer fully set up it makes sense to me and at a nice cost as i only run it when i need to.

I can use remote desktop from my tablet with out issues so i don't even need to buy a windows tablet if i need to run some software when away from home, so they can be useful but agree on backups, as i don't use a data base or anything heavy i just have a 4 bay usb3 hard drive storage unit and run 2 3gig drives in mirror.
