  • Unlimited cloud space.
  • Unlimited file versions.
  • Keep deleted files for ever (if you prefer).
  • Support backup files on external drives. (Since CrashPlan doesn’t distinguish between files that have been deleted from your computer and those that are temporarily unavailable because a drive is disconnected. If you disconnect your external drive, we recommend configuring CrashPlan to never remove deleted files from your backup archive.)
  • Backup sets frees you to handpick and prioritize what files go where, and how often.
  • Unlimited cloud space is for one computer only. For more computers, family or business plan is avaiable with a higher cost (up to $10/m).

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.
