PEER 1 Hosting just launched CloudOne Storage, a very affordable, pay-as-you-go unlimited online storage product for all your web files and media. Starting at just $0.15 per GB per month, you can upload, store and manage unlimited data through an easy-to-use control panel or via the standards compliant Application Programming Interface (API) – the web-based interface for file management. This type of storage allows you to move your files off your web hosting server, which can dramatically increase the speed and performance of your website – which now impacts your Google quality score and what you pay for Google ads.
CloudOne Storage is built on the best-of-breed EMC® Atmos storage platform, which is known for enterprise level performance and security. If you host with PEER 1, you enjoy additional savings of free bandwidth across their 10GB SuperNetwork™ backbone. For more info, visit here.

Pay as you go storage seems to be a rising market, and one that is increasingly competitive price wise. As “the cloud” comes into mainstream knowledge and usage the wider general public will realise how useful this concept could be, and I’m sure we will be seeing a lot more offers such as this.
I think the challenge facing companies like this now is winning over public confidence in the concept. Whilst businesses and corporations may be quick to take to cloud computing and storage, it will not be until the general public uses it over their own storage devices that it will really become big business.
I’ll be interested to see the comments regarding this and if anyone has had previous experience with CloudOne.

Interesting debate – I agree that the challenge is getting people to trust in the ‘cloud’ and feeling that their data is secure. Having worked previously for a cloud software company my view is that the data is safer than on the average home computer which never gets backed up, is not password protected and probably susceptible to viruses. Add the other positive that it is available anywhere, on any computer with an internet connection.
