That is the issue I face as a host. I know a cloud format is better than 
the single server format for hosting for several reasons, principally 
redundancy, management and distributed content. But in my experience, 
we're in a transition time when all the clouds that are affordable 
enough and could be used for shared hosting are owned by the same big 
companies that are trying to get our information and that I don't want 
to support.

I do believe private clouds will become more affordable and usable over 
time. In the meantime we do our best -- our servers are hosted in 
relatively green colo's that have direct access to the internet 
backbone, we back up every day and, for any sites that need it for 
bandwidth and global distribution, use a CDN - mainly Cloudflare, or 
Sucuri if they need a firewall too. Love Sucuri.
