If you are wondering, “Exactly what is Web 2.0/Social Media?” you certainly are not alone. We will provide you with an overview to aid you in understanding each term and how it probably has already had a significant impact on you and/or your business and, most likely, how your business operates.
Social media describes a broad range of communication options that are now available, thanks to the internet. All of the following are considered social media: blogging, video sharing via sites like You Tube and downloading the latest podcasts. Social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook also fall into the category. The social networking sites are so popular, recent statistics reveal that more than 100 million people participate, on a regular basis, across the globe. Sites we often regularly rely on for information – such as Wikipedia and Google also fall under the “Social Media” umbrella. And, these new forms of technology are so popular and such an integral part of everyday life, they have their own reference point on the internet too – Web 2.0. Social media, in essence is so vast and so important, it is a step up from the old “Web” which might have been called Web 1.0.
Communication around the world has become simple because of this new technology, but none of it would be available without managed server hosting that is provided in the United Kingdom and around the globe. Experts are in agreement, the biggest challenge facing social media networking is its nearly overwhelming growth rate and management of that growth.
That is where the experts in “managed hosting” come into the picture. Companies providing managed server hosting in the U.K. are an absolute necessity to the support and growth of social media. The social media sites bring such huge traffic (often during peak periods) they demand very large amounts of bandwidth (bandwidth determines how quickly you move about the web and how fast you can upload, download text, photos and video images). Nothing is more frustrating than minutes spent in a virtual limbo, while you wait for your computer to catch up with the desired connection. Dedicated managed server hosting companies not only provide ample bandwidth to customers but provide many other important features as well. Because of the massive amount of data these sites bring in (and content uploads quickly reach capacity), providing ample storage room at all times is an invaluable asset that only a first-rate managed hosting company can guarantee.
Social media is a rather new phenomenon; these extremely user-friendly sites will, without a doubt, continue to grow rapidly. As new sites are added, they will require professional expertise – which includes executive support 24/7/365 so they can continue to meet the needs of their ever-growing customer base.
The vision that is shared by the Directors and all of EveryCity's associates is what keeps them at the forefront of managed hosting and drives the business forward. Of the directors, associates all come from highly experienced backgrounds having worked with the likes of: SAGEM Communication, Betfair, BSkyB, ABN Amro, La Salle to name but a few.
