What? I've never heard there's a thing called "Cloud server".
Well, in case you don't understand, a VPS is basically a virtual machine running on a physical server with some sort of virtualization technology (most commonly, Xen or OpenVZ). The physical server could run a lot of such virtual servers all at once. Each virtual machine act like a physical server (that's why it's called "virtual private server"), and the resources of the physical server is separated between the virtual servers running on it. Here's a graph coming from Wikipedia that shows how Xen works:

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
