Could you tell me your views on Cloud Hosting?

What are the advantages of running websites on cloud hosting accounts?

I suppose that a very scalable cloud hosting solution, where you can easily scale up or down according to your needs, could end up being very cost effective for those who have websites with huge variances in traffic levels. It's a serious waste to pay for a dedicated server all week just because you need all its power on Saturdays.

The scalability of cloud makes it easier for people to scale their account up or down as they need to. And this advantage is really helpful in the present situation of economic system, no one like to waste money on the unused resources.
