Hi Josphat,
In regard to the above topic: A cloud server is simply a physical server whose services are accessed and consumed remotely. The physical servers could be located anywhere (in a client's server room/data centre or in a service provider's data centre). However, there are various deployment models i.e: 1) Private Cloud: This is owned or leased by a single organization and operated solely for that organization. 2) Public cloud: Owned by an organization that leases/sells cloud services to the general public or a large industry group. 3) Hybrid cloud: A combination of 2 or more clouds (i.e private, public or community) 4) Community Cloud: Shared by several organizations and supports a specific community
In addition, the deployment models above enable cloud service consumers to get access to services via various models i.e: 1) SAAS (Software As A Service) - End-user applications delivered as a service, instead of on-premise software 2) PAAS (Platform As A Service) - Application platform or middleware as a service on which developers can build and deploy custom applications. 3) IAAS (Infrastructure As A Service) - Compute, storage or other IT infrastructure as a service, rather than dedicated capability.
Now, back to what your friend needs; leasing a physical server which will enable him/her to avoid capex. There are 2 options: 1) High level security requirements - Lease a private cloud where dedicated servers are hosted and managed by a service provider 2) Standard level security requirements - Lease a public cloud where VPS servers are hosted and managed by a service provider
Locally, these services are available from Safaricom, MTN, GG(GestaltGild), Angani among others.
Otherwise, i don't think he will get a service provider who leases out physical servers and allows him to manage/host them wherever/however he fills like.

I think the Guy means a dedicated server. Try MTN they have such offers where you get your own rack and a connection to it which you do whatever you want.
The other option would be you choose a shared plan where you get a virtual server within a machine shared by other customers.
Cloud service request can mean many things. Does he wants to manage it himself or have it managed by the provider?
What is he hosting, mail database, data storage? All these variables make all the difference when you are making a choice as to what service to pick.

@Wash....This guys has leased printers service and also outsources ICT maintenance.
He is convinced (or someone convinced him) he can also leased a server (instead of buying) which will physically reside at his office/cabinet.
He is avoiding the capex. I have not been able to convince him otherwise coz while I have loads of info and experience on use of cloud (angani, KENET, Safcom etc), I have no idea if servers are leased in the same mode of a leased printer.

Sorry, lemme think about this a little bit.
Lease of physical servers:
1. I have a server farm and lease each out - depending on specs rqd by client? Naah, that would be expensive. 2. I have a server already running and I co-host a client (VPS)
Yes, VPS is the answer. Which begs the question - what really is the cloud?

So the cloud is run on "imaginary servers"? LOL
Even the cloud is on physical servers sitting somewhere.
