I’m sure you’ve noticed that nowadays more and more desktop functions are available online. There’s a big advantage here: online storage is, generally speaking more reliable and less expensive than local storage.

Some of the drawbacks of local storage are:

• Every desktop crashes at some point or the other, which puts data on your hard drive in jeopardy
• DVDs or CDs that you use for backup can be scratched
• External hard drives are expensive
• All the above storage solutions cannot be accessed while traveling

When you decide to switch to online storage for your multimedia and other files, you have to be choosy. If there will be a high download demand for your files, such as if you had a popular photo or video sharing site, you wouldn’t want to use a small server that would slow down when demand increased.

Right away a huge number of online servers are eliminated from the choice for that reason.

Of the “super-servers” that are left, one stands out for its reliability and speed: Amazon.com.

Yes, unknown to most of us, Amazon.com will store your files on its mega-server system. The price is as low as 15 cents a month for a Gigabyte!

There is a whole lot of detail involved in this, too much for us to put in a post, so we’ve created a report on how you can use Amazon.com for online storage, even if you are an individual using your desktop with only a few files. At the current time we’ve set the report’s price at a mere $7. It will increase in the near future to $17.

Read more about it (and pick up a copy if you want) here.

May you achieve your goals,
