Just so you understand, "Cloud server" is a very popular description, but does not apply to a dedicated server in a colocation data center. Just because it's not "local" does not make it "cloud". Amazon has a cloud: You can "fire up" a cloud server at the "spend of a dollar" (or click of a link) which actually will allow you access to a server that you had no access to before. It could be physical or virtual (depending on what you pay for). That's cloud. But when you call Bob at the colo and request a new server ... that's just a colocated server. Bob turned it on and "gave you the keys" as it were. Cloud technology is a different thing than "i'm renting a server from Bob" or "I sent my server to Bob to put in his rack".
Not a flame: Just hoping to get some understanding on the topic. LOL (Or perhaps some conversation, if others disagree with me ...). If you're not sure, download and install the Ubuntu Cloud .iso image. Build your own. When you get done with it, you'll have a different vision of the use of the word "Cloud".
Consider changing the listing to "Colocated Dual Xeon Server with RAID" or whatever it is that you have.
