This is the service I use. I think it is much better than something like dropbox.

If you disconnect your external drive, we recommend configuring CrashPlan to never remove deleted files from your backup archive.)

Reviews of host providers

Mail forwarding

gmail.com offers forwarding too.

chi.mp offers free domain (and mail forwarding). I've registered mail@weakish.mp and weakish@expr.mp.

There are other free email forwarding providers, but the mail addresses they provide are not nice.

about.me offers mail forwarding as user@about.me backed up by AOL. I've claimed weakish@about.me but I've not activated it. It's not mail forwarding, but you have pop access to AOL mail.

  • Note: I have used ChicagoVPS in 2013-2014. The billing via paypal was recurring, but they still sent unpaid alert email to me. And I forgot the payment was recurring (billed half year ago) and paid manually. Later, the recurring payment took effect and I had been charged twice. Their support staff said refund would be in "next refund batch". Later they said that they were moving my ticket to the billing department. But still no refund. Then I exchanged several support tickets with them over several months and they were just keep asking about the transaction IDs (which I repeated in several tickets) and saying moving the ticket to billing or concern department again and again. After 6 months there was still no refund (until my VPS suspended).
