Dropbox Backups

Dropbox is a file storage platform, that has been gaining a lot in popularity lately as it allows you to access any content saved on its hosting servers through any device so long as their app is installed. The information is synchronized between all units, so you can easily access it anytime. Dropbox doesn't offer hosting services, hence if you upload an html file it shall not show up as a site and won't be executed. This service is used only for storing information and we've taken advantage of the fact that they provide an API to third-party companies to create a backup service on our end, which you could use if you host your Internet sites on our hosting servers. With this additional feature you will not have tobe worried about your content as you shall always have a copy of your Internet sites on the Dropbox servers and on your PC just in case that something happens - a script update failing, deleting files accidentally, and so on.
