Hi Mo :-)
Couple of things. Firstly the side issue of ISP's not deleting data.
I am going to try an experiment in a month or two. Years ago ( my
account expired about 5 or 6 yrs previous) I had a Virgin account. I
haven't used them as an ISP for about 12 years now but I still had my
log active. I shall see if I can resurrect my old account and try to
then get my old website up and running again. I think I will be able
to do it but the falling down bit is that it was dial up... I may
need to sort out my old modem to actually dial in to them. Anyway, I
reckon they will still have all my old website stuff in storage.
Secondly the actual issue of online storage. I use 'A Drive'
<http://www.adrive.com/> to save none essential and critically none
sensitive data. Just stuff like lists of interesting websites or
webpages that may go down over time. I get 50gb of free storage. It
works for me. Don't forget we could also use Google Mail as storage
facility if it's set up as a network file system (I don't have the
details of how but it is doable in Linux and other OS's).
Anything sensitive is kept in removable data sticks that I only access
when and if...
