You have probably heard the word ‘Cloud’ used in a variety of computer service contexts. It is not new and unsurprisingly it isn’t located in the clouds. It is mainly used for two things:
- Off site back-ups of files
- Off site processing of data such as email newsletters, contacts databases, image editing
One great factor is that like Mailchimp above a lot of these services often have a free entry point. They want you to use their service and then get hooked. This is good because they have to win you over by quality – and some small business find the free service is all they need.
It continues to get good because even if you upgrade to the premium version you usually pay monthly without a contract. They have a massive incentive to keep the service delivering what you want.
“much better than the old model of paying up front for software and then finding the product is poor or the support isn’t any good…”
Our larger website packages have cloud computing training and set-up as an option and we also offer some very attractive back up options to make sure your valuable data is protected.
