- this is one example offer i found, what does 0,25 CPU CORE stand for?
From just that snippet, without seeing the site, it looks to me like 0.25 CPU core = 1/4 of a CPU core. So if you're on a single core box, you share it with three other people. It coulda be a dual core box with seven other people, etc.

That could qualify as "cloud" if it's a) a complete virtualized machine with b) shared storage (SAN) and probably c) the ability to quickly/automatically migrate virtual machines between different physical machines.
