 Cloud Computing Basics : Privacy and Security with Cloud Hosting 
 
According to Bill Bruford , 'At the end of the whole day of working with people you want some privacy'. Every one of us always fights and protects our privacy. It's common to people to defend what we think is bound within our scope of privacy. As we look around on the World Wide Web privacy and security is not an issue anymore. Divulging one's private information is quiet easy to many people. Sharing personal information, photos, videos and any private stuff hasn\'t been labeled as confidential because of its visibility on the internet.

Cloud hosted website shares data to the main network whose function is to make the website available to any parts of the world. Once a network server submitted their personal information privacy and security of data is already at risk. Patronizing service of cloud hosting to stock up information may give way to the client possible violation to confidentiality. Ownership of cloud hosted private information is hand over to the main network which may or may not reside in the same country with the user/client.  Any time the cloud provider may have the right to use the information with the purpose of performing market research and client profiling and reporting. In the case of inappropriate use of client's personal data it may cause severe damage in the part of the user and making a lawsuit is very difficult because transaction is made only through the internet, there is no face-to-face contact with the cloud provider and the cloud user. Data can also be use by other people through cyber espying (espionage). Another problem is associated with the data resettlement especially as soon as the cloud users would like to change a cloud hosting provider.  There is no guarantee that when user changes cloud provider data would also be automatically deleted.

If we want protect our privacy we should be cautious and be vigilant with our actions. In spite of the advantages cloud hosting may offer, it can change to worst, we have to be on the lookout and observant to save ourselves from harm.
