Endurance Launches JustCloud, Cloud Backup and Synchronization Service

Endurance International Group, Inc. is launching JustCloud, a cloud storage solution, across its portfolio of brands to meet the demand from small business for cloud-based backup, storage and syncing services.

It provides automated backup of multiple computer, cloud storage and synced access to your files from any computer or mobile device through a mobile app.

While many SMBs are still unclear about the value of cloud-based solutions for their businesses, they are clear about the need for backup and sync. eMarketer recently published a June 2013 study by Cbeyond, Summer 2013 Cbeyond Business Leader Snapshot, which indicates that when SMBs were asked “What business functions you would like to access via the cloud?“, 39% of respondents said they would like computer backup, 35% would like email across devices, and 32% would like shared file services.

The company’s brands Bluehost, HostGator, FatCow, iPage and Typepad already provide email solutions through their web presence products, and with the launch of JustCloud, they can provide these other services as well. The service starts by providing backup, sync and file sharing, and its suite of services allows users to share files and folders via email, social media or private custom links.

Backups and sync can be automated – a plus for small business owners through drag and drop – all with peace of mind that files are secured with 256 bit encryption. Compatible with Mac, PC, Linux and across multiple devices, It is the solution for the Endurance brands.

The brands has begun offering current subscribers a free account with 1GB of storage, just in time for tax preparation and filing season. Subscribers who need more storage can then go on to purchase a full account.

Hari Ravichandran, CEO, Endurance, said: “The cloud can enable so much for small business, but its value has yet to be clearly explained to customers. That’s why at Endurance, we plan to demonstrate, not just talk about, what the cloud can do for small business. We are pleased that we are going to be able to solve an obvious pain point for our customers. This is just one of many solutions we look forward to rolling out this year.“
