In a shocking revelation made by "Global Payments", 1.5 Million Visa, Mastercard numbers were stolen, and things are getting worse! It's not just the cross-platform vulnerability and those silly hacking attempts to deface a website - hacking has progressed to a whole new level, and literally nothing in this world looks safe at this point of time.

In a recent investigation, court had ordered Google to disclose the personal data of a customer to California's security agencies, on the grounds of a security breach... We don't see such cases, and verdicts everyday, do we? But, what could the consequences be, if such a thing really happens to you?
Now, one of the biggest problems that I see with
Google Drive is that your data may be passed on, for security check, or any other reason, to
website security agencies, and third parties... And, that's something, I would never really want in my life...

Weird as it may sound, not all web hosts are considered to be customer-friendly and co-operative by majority of the customers! And, the reason is pretty straightforward - several web hosts refuse to offer help in case of a malware infection, or any security issue... As a direct implication, a customer loses faith in his/her host, and looks at the option of switching hosts right away.
As a host, if you've been seeing a decline in your clientele, you need to ask yourself - "how co-operative is your support team"? Does your company offer help in case of any emergencies like virus attacks, server crash, MySQL injection, or any kind of unforeseen problem, which a customer may never be able to deal with, all on his/her own?
And, if the answer is no, then you also know the reason behind the decline in your sales figures already! (don't you?).
Remember, even if
website security is not your area of specialization, you can always collaborate with an agency that specializes in this field, and meet the needs of all your customers...
Managed cloud hosting providers like SingleHop charge as much as $75 per hour for system administration, and offer to run complete security scans, and fix all the problems uncovered after the security tests.
And, guess what - customers don't even mind paying $100+/hour, especially when you offer them a helping hand right away (reply to customer's concern within 10-15 minutes, and fix it over next 4-6 hours).
Zenith Infotech has announced the launch of TigerCloud, its latest private cloud computing solution, mainly targeted at Indian customers.
While Google is busy impressing millions of potential Indian customers with its new cloud storage solution, the
Cloud, Microsoft, Amazon, and others aren't to be counted out either!
