Use your homepage for storing important files

Screengrab_11 If you purchase a domain name, you can select to include web space to host your domain. You don't need to use this space as a website, you could use it as a closed (requires username/password) FTP server to store your important files. There's also no reason why you couldn't use the space to store large work files so you can download at home or when you're on the move.

Cobian Backup 8 was recently released and it's an excellent free backup tool that will enable you to select files for backup, schedule a time for backing up the data and a location. This location could be your web space - simply enter the domain name (ie mydomain.co.uk), your username and password, select a folder where you want to store the files and Cobian Backup will do the rest.

If you ever find you lose your files on your system, you can always restore from your server as Cobian Backup will synchronise in both directions.
