What Is "The Cloud"?

Ok, you might have guessed it but the term “the cloud” in the technology world has nothing to do with the white fluffy things in the sky. Put simply, “the cloud” refers to software and services that run on the Internet, instead of locally on your computer.


Cloud services are more common than people think, and a lot of individuals use them in their everyday life without even realising! Some common cloud services include Netflix, Google Drive, Disney+, iCloud, OneDrive, NowTV and much more!


The advantage of the cloud is that you can access the information on any device providing you have an internet connection. It’s what allows you to make edits to documentation you need for a meeting that you forgot about from the comfort of your own home, and then pick up where you left off when you get to the office.


However, with anything, The Cloud does have its downfalls. It’s important to remember that, because all your information lives online, there is always a risk of it getting into the wrong hands. Just as worse in some cases, accidentally deleted! Here at Hosted, we have lots of service offerings to help protect our customers from online threats as well as ensure their critical data is always backed up, in a simple and cost-effective way.
