I would be careful with using a cheap web hosting service for backup. They =
offer unlimited storage and bandwidth but in their fine print they specify =
that using server space for file storage is not allowed and that all your c=
ontent should be data for a web site. I know someone who got their account=
suspended because of this reason with Host Papa.
