Are you comfortable with storing all your backup data on an Internet Server?

Internet Storage Servers

Different types of removable storage pop up all the time. In a year there will probably be a new one. One of the forms of storage that has been around for a little while now, but not many people seem to know about, is Internet Storage Servers.

These are dedicated servers online where you can store all the data you would normally have on your hard drive and back up on an external drive or in discs. With this option you do not have to worry about your hard drives crashing and losing all your data. If there was a fire and your computer and external hard drive were destroyed, having it backed up on that external would not do much for you.

Internet Storage Servers charge a fee based on the amount of storage space you require. Some servers charge as little as $5 or $10 per year for unlimited storage. Some people are hesitant to have their personal information stored on a server out on the Internet where someone else can try to access it. Internet Storage Servers allow you to encrypt your information and secure it in various ways, promising that only you can access your data. So if you are comfortable with that, these servers would be a viable option for removable storage.
