CrashPlan Review - A flexible multi-platform backup solution
- Software that is easy to use and reliable
- Software that is compatible with Windows and Macintosh computers
- Offsite backups are preferred, however local backups to a central server is acceptable. Since I have multiple home computers, including laptops, I’d prefer not to rely on external hard drives.
Recommended Hosts
List of hosts I have experience with and would recommend.
Steadfast Networks - I currently have a clustered pair of dedicated servers and a reseller account. Personally I prefer H-Sphere, which they use in their reseller accounts, over Cpanel based shared accounts.
Server Axis - I used this host for approximately a year with good results.

Searching for a new hosting provider - Part 2
Several months ago I reported the results of four hosting providers I was researching. The report was written after using each host for approximately a month. This review can be seen here. In the review all four hosts were found to be acceptable and would meet most users needs. However I narrowed the finalists down to two hosts.
Zimbra Backend Review
There have been several reviews of the Zimbra Collaboration Suite. However the focus most of these reviews has been on the browser-based Ajax interface. I agree the Zimbra has one of the best, if not the best, browser-based email client. However what makes Zimbra such a great solution is the product as a whole. The focus in this review is the server side of Zimbra.
Planet Argon Review
A few months ago I opened an account with shared account with Planet Argon. They offer shared hosting and typo blog hosting. Their typo hosting starts at $3.00 per month and shared hosting at $11.25 per month. There is no setup fee but they require signing up for either six months or annually.
