    Important Poll Regarding Disk Space

    Hi All,

    I have an important poll and hope everyone takes a moment to vote. Currently our adfree plans offer 500MB diskspace and is backed up *almost* daily ;). I would like to know if people would rather have more diskspace and us not backup the servers. We would most likely just keep a monthly. So, would you rather be responsible for your backups and have more diskspace or have less and keep the daily backups going?

    Thanks.

    It would be at least double.

    I'm not a free hosting member but I think users should be responsible for their own backups anyway.

    I think you people should raise the disk space and not backup. I feel so because most of the time when I go looking for my lost files in the backup server, they are not there. And so I have to hunt for them in my own computer.
    Moreover, backup servers put undue load on a hosting service, just taking this service away will enable you all to use more resources and concentrate on hosting.

    Well, since I already keep backups myself, I'd rather get a disk space increase. It'd let me add more features/content to my site.

    I have a question. o_O

    First, would it be possible for two different free hosting packages to be made, one that does daily back-ups like it is right now, and the other that does monthly back-ups and gives more disk space? That way, users can select which one they want depending on their needs.

    Also, is it possible for users to manually control the number of backups that are made? They would obviously be restricted to a maximum of one per day, but sometimes, a website isn't updated for a few days, so a backup isn't necessary.

    No, it's either all or nothing. :P

    Re: Important Poll Regarding Disk Space

    I vote I like the way it is now because, I need daily backups for my forum. Some people might corrupt the forum and I can use the backup to restore. With the daily backups and can restore members to our forum etc

    I would think to keep the Double Package On.
