G.ho.st is a web-hosted virtual computer that allows users to access their desktop, files, applications and settings from any internet browser without needing to install anything. It provides 3GB of storage on Amazon servers and integrates with common web applications like Google Docs, YouTube, and Flickr. While offering similar functionality to a traditional computer through its own email, messaging, media and office tools, G.ho.st is slower than local applications and has bugs, inconsistent functionality, limited storage and compatibility issues. It generates revenue through commissions, extra storage fees, and advertisements.
