BingoDisk

A few days ago, I signed up for BingoDisk. It’s a nice Sun based storage system, which support webdav, which is access as a drive on my pc, as well as http access and all that stuff. I think it’s pretty nifty.

I bought the Nano plan, because it’s simple, and has all the space I need. It’s not for my files, more my work, email and database backups, which it seems to be doing okay at for the moment. Upload speeds were excellent, and downloading was just as good - no problems whatsoever.

I talked to the support reps about a problem with the SSL on the signup, and asked about content limits, to which they happily replied ‘ I’m storing my entire iTunes library on my Bingo, I can’t see why you can’t do the same ‘, nice to see that they care what’s on their servers.

I know one thing I’d love them to implement, and that’s FTP. That way I can upload via everything. Admittedly, it’s not needed, but FTP to my server is a bit faster for small files. Can’t have everything, and for $19 a year, it’s pretty good value.

Let’s hope I don’t actually need my backups, hey?
