22 percent of SMEs are currently managing websites through cloud based platforms, with spending over 2012 rising above $45 billion, according to a report conducted by Parallels.

30 percent of SMEs are expected to have transitioned to cloud based website management services by 2015, by which point SMEs are predicted to be spending $96 billion globally.

Investment increases are being driven by businesses moving straight into the cloud, due to its availability, flexibility and low cost, before having any in-house IT services.
