Most people that start a small business do it for many reasons. One of those reasons is the freedom they hope it will give them. However the reality is they find themselves with a lot less time on their hands in comparison when they worked for an employer. The other aspect that many forget is when previously on their home computers the data they stored was important but not essential to their job.

A little like a cloud in the sky the true definition of cloud computing is a little fluffy. It originates from the diagrams people produced to represent the internet. Cloud computing is basically a software or platform stored where the user doesn’t need to administer the software but can purely connect to it. Cloud computing is [...]
