Right now PageDash is centrally hosted on Google Cloud, although if there is sufficient demand I would consider a locally-hosted licensing model and bring your own S3/GCP Storage bucket, or maybe even open source.
Your question is very valid and right now all I can say is PageDash aims to provide a way for you to retrieve your data either via direct downloads or bucket syncing for the technically inclined. Essentially each page is simply a folder with all the assets stored in a flat structure, so there is no fancy tech here. Once the page is processed and archived, it's a done deal. My personal guarantee is that as long as someone is paying and PageDash is not going hugely red I will keep the service up. The free quota is meant as a trial and you can help keep PageDash up by subscribing :)
Cloud brings other benefits such as the ability to retrieve from anywhere, as well as use multiple clients. But yes, I can understand the concern, it is a valid one.
- gooseus 9y agoI'm sorry, I don't think your product, as it is, provides enough value for the cost. I would suggest using the WARC format someone else mentioned as well as providing a mechanism for backing up locally and a guarantee that all data will be available for X weeks/months/years following any buyout or failure of the business. Good luck!
- dwg 9y agoLove what you guys did wish PageDash. Archiving locally is perhaps the main reason why I'm paying Evernote and not PageDash, however. However, I've never been happy with the way Evernote tries to be a filing system and I like the simplicity of PageDash. That said If I'm going to invest time to archive I would like to know that the effort won't be wasted if you go out of business.
