How can I file a lawsuit against Public Storage?

What are some options for off site file storage? Our site requires hosting a number of large files.  Because we want to go with a hosting service that specializes in development support rather than cheap storage we need to find an offsite file storage site.

  • We were considering godaddy, but they require a website wrapper around any files you store on their servers (they guy said we can't just use them as a file dump)

  • Answer:

    I would like to toss in my vote for Rackspace's CloudFiles system. It's similar to Amazon's S3 service, and offers many of the same API options that Amazon does. Only, I find the web interface much simpler to interface with. http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/files/

I fully agree with . S3 is in all likelihood the best solution.

Amazon Web Services exists for this reason. From Amazon: Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers. http://aws.amazon.com/s3/

Do you need to get to them, or just stuff them someplace? If you just need to stuff them someplace and rarely access them, you can't beat the Amazon Glacier service ($0.01/GB/mon). But they penalize you for downloading more than 20% of what you upload, it's mainly an archival service. But it rocks. If you need real-time access, then I vote S3
