Does anyone use S3 from Amazon for backing up data off-site or serving static files? It's pretty darn cheap, requires no hardware, scales, can do HTTP and BitTorrent and a bunch of other cool things.
http://aws.amazon.com/s3 Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee, and no start-up cost. * $0.15 per GB-Month of storage used. * $0.20 per GB of data transferred. That's WAY cheaper far better then building my own RAIDed (and redundant in every other way) server, paying for a colo and bandwidth in some beefy data center and still having to admin it myself. Are there other options out there that I've missed that are as interesting?
