Internode & IInet close their user web spaces

[VK5TM]

I suggest using offshore webhosting for a lot of reasons and particularly because of the data retention laws.

You can get some good deals, especially if you take up say a 3 year offer and then at the end of the term, open another account with the same company on another 3 year special (and close your first account).

I've been able to get 3 year specials for under $100 AU - just watch out for any add-ons they might try to slip in.
