You can't take the price of everything ($15) and simply divide it by the space (5GB), when that price includes more than storage.</p> We charge $1/GB/mo when more space is added.

I guess it really depends on your needs. If you can use hosting / connector, then Strongspace is a great deal.

I just browed rsync.net – and it looks quite good. Choice is a good thing :-)

What is your effective price per GB when you have the integrated package like you do ?

I am leaning towards rsync.net for my offsite backups of my linux systems – originally because of their warrant canary but their price is looking better as well.

However they don’t serve any other ISP functions, so there is no integration of services like you are using at joyent… I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing…

Comments ?
