>Thank you for the explanation Rick. I am still not 100% sure where (if at all) I need to consider offering my VFP/Web application in the "cloud". I need to spend more time reading on it.

"Cloud" is a very abstract term and really all it means is that it's not hosted onsite. Cloud just means accessible from anywhere if you boil it down. This can mean a plain Web application that serves all of its content from a hosting provider (VMs often when you're talking about cloud providers like Amazon or Microsoft Azure) all the way to distributed services and data storage that stores data in "cloud" services that are accessible over the Web directly.

In the end it's all just Web hosted technology - nothing magical about it.
