Are you in the business of selling dreams?

Cyprus Email MarketingIf like the majority of people living in Cyprus, you work in the services, hospitality or tourism sector that’s exactly what you do. You sell dreams to tourists and visitors, the reality of which is an all-too-short week or two in the sunshine.

You probably don’t need to be reminded of how important these dreams are to the local economy (79.6% of Cyprus’ GDP). You also don’t need to be reminded, especially in this economy, how competitive the dream business is.

You’ll want to keep your guest’s memories fresh and longing for more. There is no better way to do this than by sending them a regular postcard (email) from Cyprus.

Conventional VPS hosting vs Cloud VPS Hosting

VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting has become a common and very popular hosting service for webmasters and e-Commerce professionals because of its various advanced features and capabilities. A VPS account/slice utilizes the  resources of one server, and these resources are allocated to the VPS slices according to their particular plan size and features. However, a new type of VPS hosting has arisen in the past few years known as Cloud hosting.

What is Cloud Hosting?

Cloud hosting is a term used to describe the practice of combining the resources of multiple web servers to create a single network in which server resources are allocated and distributed to sites as they are needed. In essence, this gives every web site on the network access to a seemingly unlimited amount of server resources at any given point in time, as they are not limited by the restrictions of a single web server.
