I have only one reservation about the cloud. A lot of services are based outside NZ. If our international link goes down, or the host country's link goes down, you're stuffed. This can be mitigated by using a provider that has at least one data centre mirroring your data in NZ. Ideally a local provider which mirrors your data across 3 data centres in 3 cities across the country.
