China has a long-running practice of censoring and restricting access to foreign services, and cloud storage is no exception. Google Drive is the last service to hit the Golden Shield. It is hard to believe that Google will find solace in the fact that most of the popular cloud storage services are also restricted in China. Five hundred million active internet users are off-limits, while cloud storage is on the rise. There are already quite a lot of great service providers out there. The number of services suggests that there is rising demand. Cloud storage for the masses is still a new and exciting thing.

Sometimes the little things can get your online business in trouble. Each time someone comes to your website they go through a Domain Name Server, part of the Domain Name System. The Domain Name System makes it possible to assign domain names to groups of Internet resources and users in a meaningful way, independent of each entity's physical location. Internet domain names are easier to remember than raw IPv4 and especially IPv6 addresses.

The robots.txt file simply contains instructions for search engine robots on what to do with a particular website. While the search engine robots follow the instructions from that file, spam bots simply ignore it in most cases.

A web robot is a program that checks the content of a web page. If a robot is about to crawl a website, it will first check the robots.txt file for instructions. A command “Disallow”, for example, tells the robot not to visit a given set of pages on this site. Web administrators use this file to restrict the bots to index the content of a particular website for different reasons - they do not want the content to be accessible by other users; the website is under construction, or a certain part of the content must be hidden from the public.
