What do you think of the companies which offer backup service as a separate one?
Say hqhost.net has started it recently.
What do you think of their price range?
The prices on hqhost.net services are not high at all.
Backing up is a necessary feature and I wonder if it can be used from them if I'm not their client?
That is good idea not keep all eggs in one basket. Some web hosting service providers offer backup services with their web hosting service.
Anyways backup is something personal and you decide if you need that or not
Most of the reputed web hosting companies offer separate back-up plans at some nominal cost. These back-ups servers are placed at remote locations considering the safety of data.
You can check with some other hosting companies for different back-up options.
Hqhost backup is low cost and I haven't seen anything cheap frankly speaking.
You may use them if you need it for storing your files in the safe place.
Have backup and web hosting service from different companies and that is recommended have backup on your PC as well. But that is not a must. You decide if you need backup or not?
