- Since different cloud providers have different security measures and different plans, questions 1 to 3 can't be answered in general.
- Since you didn't tell about your current Information Structure system, nobody can tell the answer to question 4, except you.
- For question 5: cloud and hosting isn't the same. So you can't easily replace the one with the other. For example, gmail (a cloud based mail service) doesn't do you website.
