Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.

It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over an electricity network.

In computing, a web application or web app is a client–server software application in which the client (or user interface) runs in a web browser.

Common web applications include webmail, online retail sales, online auctions, wikis, instant messaging services and many other functions.

An email hosting service is an Internet hosting service that operates email servers.

Email hosting services usually offer premium email at a cost as opposed to advertisement-supported free email or free webmail.

Email hosting services thus differ from typical end-user email providers such as webmail sites.

They cater mostly to demanding email users and small and medium-sized (SME) businesses, while larger enterprises usually run their own email hosting service on their own equipment using software such as Microsoft Exchange or Postfix.

Hosting providers can manage a user's own domain name, including any email authentication scheme that the domain owner wishes to enforce in order to convey the meaning that using a specific domain name identifies and qualifies email senders.

Data (or) is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables.

An example of qualitative data would be an anthropologist's handwritten notes about his or her interviews with people of an Indigenous tribe.

Pieces of data are individual pieces of information.

While the concept of data is commonly associated with scientific research, data is collected by a huge range of organizations and institutions, including businesses (e.g., sales data, revenue, profits, stock price), governments (e.g., crime rates, unemployment rates, literacy rates) and non-governmental organizations (e.g., censuses of the number of homeless people by non-profit organizations).
