About Cloud Computing

Confused about what cloud computing is? No big secret here! The word ‘cloud’ is simply used as a metaphor for the ‘internet’. What this means in practical terms is that instead of buying and downloading software on your computer, you’re using internet based services. This makes you independent of your computer and let’s you use services anywhere in the world from any computer. This is the great advantage to cloud computing. The other advantage is that you don’t have to buy software and software updates for your computer, or maintain servers.

The biggest disadvantage is that when you rely on cloud computing, you’re entrusting all your info to a third party service. If their server goes down, you won’t have access to your info. If you work with sensitive data, you have to make sure you’re using a trusted service provider that provides security for your data and also securely backs up your files. Nothing replaces you backing up your own files as well.

Certain services are perfect for cloud computing, like imaging editing, or online file storage as another way to backup your data. For more online services, simply browse our free website tools section which is regularly updated with free online services!
