Any chance of paid database storage?

I have had a horrible experience this last week. My host kicking me to the curb, over night, no way to contact them or anything.

Is there any way for a paid way to offer storage on haveamint.com or something? Were like every week it will send a database backup to this site, through XML or a TXT file?

Mind you, I had around 190,000 hits on it, so it was quite a blow to loose EVERYTHING that I have built up of 10 months.

And then we can download these through our account center.

I hope you strongly consider this Shaun! I am more then willing to pay the big bucks for this, and I am sure others would want the piece of mind.

Sounds like you should have checked your hosts TOS regarding hosted stat packages.

Also a clear warning to everyone about how important it is to backup things.

Not sure hosting user backups is something Shaun has in mind for the future, however I would love to be able to download a copy of my database (as well as creating a backup) from within the Backup/Restore Pepper.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I have no interesting storing other site’s data.
