CLOUD computing

Hi guys, I know there are a lot of internet minded people around. I've been running various *nix boxes over the years. Lately I have been enquiring about cloud servers. I'm a bit out of my comfort zone here so I need some feedback.

Main problem with a standalone box is redundancy in case of HD failure. Apparently a cloud storage is different so no need for backups? Is this true. Second potential issue: what about access speed? Email, HTTP, etc... Noticeable difference?

In short would a move would be justified in term of reliability and performance? Thanks for any feedback.
