They are using a hosting provider - their dad.
"The cloud" is also just a bunch of machines in a basement. Lots of machines in lots of "basements", but still.
"hosting provider" in this instance I think means "do you pay them (whoever has the hardware in their possession) a monthly/quarterly/yearly fee"
otherwise you can also say "well ACTUALLY your isp is providing the ability to host on the wan so they are the real hosting provider" and such...
Their dad is not a hosting provider. I mean, maybe he is, but that would be really weird.
