The Next Web has posted a report that Google Drive will be coming out this month. If you are not new to everything Google, you might be a bit speculative of the news because this is not a new rumor. In fact, for the past five years, we have been hoping for something like this.
If you go to the link provided in the article, http://drive.google.com/, you get a 404 Page, different from “Page Not Found” for incorrect subdomains on Google, so may be this rumor is something new!?
If you’re trying to figure out where to host your personal blog or church website, chances are you’ve felt a little overwhelmed. You could just find the cheapest price, but that can be dangerous. Something I highly discourage. I’ve recently done some work on a website that’s hosted on a cheap host and it’s so slow! Now, back to the point of this post.
Should you look for dedicated hosting, cloud hosting, private cloud or managed cloud?
Confusing, right?
Even these terms will vary from host to host, depending on what kind of traffic you expect.
Hopefully, this easy to read flowchart can aid you in figuring out which type of hosting is right for you:

Will the end of SOPA be the end of Hollywood?
Only if Hollywood continues to fight the forward momentum of technology. If they play their cards right, they could find a new and evolved revenue stream.
Meanwhile, one of the biggest forms of online piracy is the illegal download of movies. Can you really blame them for trying to stop this?
Here are the top ten pirated movies of all time:
I’m sure you’ve seen the rumblings of MegaUpload being take down this month. Despite your perspective on the shake-down, it brings some serious questions and implications as we look at the long-term use of “The Cloud.”
Up until now, cloud storage was all butterflies and rainbows. I was left without any doubts.
Until, now.
Legitimate users of MegaUpload currently have no access to their files and are at risk of losing all of their data.
Good question, right?
I never really thought about it until I read an article on CNN Tech answering the question.
Non-technical answer:
A crap load.
Technical answer:
With the new Multi-Object delete feature on Amazon S3, it is now more functional for online storage.
As I’ve said, before the multi-object delete feature, Amazon S3 felt very constrictive.
Since the announcement of multi-object delete, I began digging around for some desktop apps that would interface well with my Amazon S3 account. One of those is CloudBerry S3 Explorer and it’s available in both freeware and a paid PRO version.

Amazon S3 has added a nice new feature that eliminates one reason that has really kept me away from using it more.
Up to now, I had only used my Amazon S3 account for large, manual server backups, however, with this latest feature, I can use my Amazon S3 space much like a DropBox — in my browser!
Amazon S3 now has Multi-Object Delete.
Before, if you wanted to delete multiple folders or multiple files in one folder, you could not delete multiple files at once.
Lame, right?
Well, now you can!

For those you you running on Media Temple’s popular grid server service (gs), I have found a handy little backup tool that can backup your web server to Amazon’s Amazon S3 web storage.
No matter what you’re running, static HTML sites, Drupal, WordPress, or any other flavor, the (gs) backup can handle it.
You can backup individual site files, ftp folders and any of your databases.
