So really a cloud server is just a server. We really need to change the name as it's not a cloud.

A cloud server (server in the cloud) is accessible anyplace.
Servers can (and are) on private networks, behind fire walls.
I would guess better than 75% of MR users do not run a local (private) NAS or stand alone file Server (Excluding Calibre Content or similar). They rely on one of the many internet storage services, if they bother to backup/share that way.
