Amazon S3 Servers - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 18th Jun 10 at 11:20pm
Well, I've been using these for a while, and I must say, I'm rather impressed. It's fairly cheap too! (Although my bill this month won't be that cheap haha)
The advantage is that it just charges you for what you use, and the costs aren't that expensive, I think it's something like 0.15USD/GB, there's the added benefit that it's cloud based, so it's "perfectly" redundant. I use it solely for backups, not for serving images/files, although it can be used for this.
I definitely recommend it to people who want to have a reliable backup solution, there are APIs available that make backing up absolutely simple.
