SAAS (Software as A Service)

Explanation:

Since the program is completely 3rd party and is hosted in the cloud, this is an example of an SAAS. SAAS is by far the most common used of the cloud right now and we have somehow probably used it in our day-to-day lives. With SAAS, users are able to easily connect to and use established infrastructure and applications over the internet. Unlike IAAS and PAAS types of cloud computing, users using SAAS focus only on using the applications while the cloud based providers take care of everything else from taking care of the data center to managing all the aspects of the application.
