Arweave has a pay once, store forever model where after the initial payment to upload (~$0.005/MB) the file is stored forever on the permaweb. You can get started with some free tokens to play with arweave here:
http://tokens.arweave.org/ http://tokens.arweave.org/
I also suggest you check out the latest Arweave x Gitcoin Open Web Incubator Demo Day from last week to see the latest stuff being built. Looking forward to ArDrive, Verto, WeaveID and more.

One further advantage of decentralized UI hosting on Arweave is simply resilience to website outages:

- wmf 6y agoInteresting that this is 1,000 times the price of B2 per month, so if you're willing to pre-pay for 1,000 months (83 years) of service you get the "rest" for free.
- lazzlazzlazz 6y agoYou're not paying for storage. You're paying for permanent, guaranteed immutable, community-programmable storage immune to seizures, platform changes, manipulation, and censorship. For the right use cases, that's a bargain.
- theamk 6y agoIt is only immutable and immune to manipulation while there are enough miners, and there are no hard forks. While it may look good now, there is a non-zero chance it will disappear within 5 years for some reason or other. So if your data is really important, better make a backup copy of it somewhere safe, like in B2.
