The benefits of using applications provided by cloud hosts are that the user does not need to install or run the applications on their own computer. Below are just a few of the applications that many people may need to access around-the-clock and which therefore would suit the reliability of cloud hosting. Microsoft Exchange Email Service is a suitable application for cloud hosting. People can check their emails, shared calendars or shared scheduling from the office or on the road and they can do so reliably and securely through cloud hosting. The cloud host providing Microsoft Exchange may also provide extra antivirus and antispam software as well. The cloud host assigns a specific amount of disk space to each mailbox and will often provide the option to pay for the application service monthly or yearly. Microsoft SharePoint services suit the reliability of cloud hosting very well. Through these services people can collaborate in shared workspaces. Whether they're working from the office, home or on the road, people can collaborate and share tasks, contacts, documents and so forth through a central online location. Benefits from Microsoft SharePoint include email notification if a task is updated or assigned to a user and the ability to synchronise team calendars which makes it easier to coordinate tasks. Web applications that are used for creating and managing websites, such as Parallels Plesk SiteBuilder, require the reliability offered by cloud hosting. SiteBuilder settings like system parameters, default components and users can all be managed and controlled by cloud hosts. SiteBuilder end users can build and maintain websites without needing HTML knowledge or skills. People can build a business website and not have to worry that the site will go down and they'll lose potential money, as cloud hosting is very reliable in terms of keeping downtime to a minimum. The WordPress blogging application is an application that benefits greatly from the reliability of cloud hosting. WordPress is used for a variety of different reasons, such as a personal blogging space or an update centre for products and services. People can subscribe to a blog and the blog owner can also receive revenue through adverts placed on the blog. Reliable cloud hosting is therefore useful for bloggers who want to regularly update the blog and subscribers who want to read it regularly. Any sort of scientific simulation that needs to be tested or run for a few weeks and then scaled down would function well within a cloud environment. Many people can gain access to the simulation and input data into it from multiple locations and then when the simulation needs scaled down it can be done easily.
