Not sure right now but I would like the option of perhaps starting with 30GB and then buy more if needed. Amazon S3 looks good, price is reasonable too! Cheers On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 10:39 AM, Craig van Nieuwkerk crai...@gmail.comwrote: How much do you need for what price? Amazon S3 can store

If it's just disk space you want, have a look at www.servage.net 750Gb plus if you refer (or are refered) other people you get bonus space. Wait... what? If you use my coupon code CUST49247 when you select to signup then you get unlimited disk space for free! That should keep you going. :) On

Just being super popular doesn't mean you need lots of disk space. What are you storing? Are you using a database? If so, database size allowed by hosting companies is normally calculated separately. If you think the site will be very popular, ie visitors in the thousands per day, then some kind
