Ask HN: What web services do you pay for?
I'm doing some research to see what kinds of services people are willing to pay for and what about the service convinced you it was worth paying for. Links to said services appreciated.

- gmq 15y agohttp://crashplan.com http://crashplan.com - Easy unlimited backup. For all those things that don't fit in my dropbox folder. Also, it's the only service I found that had few bad reviews (unlike Mozy). http://linode.com http://linode.com - Good and reliable VPS. Does it count if you only need to pay once for the service? If yes: http://pinboard.in http://pinboard.in - The cleanest bookmarking service around.
- dholowiski 15y agoFogbugz, several VPS's (prgmr), Dropbox, Spam Filtering, Oreilly Safari, Lynda.com Should be obvious but they're all required to do my job, the last two are more reference/learning. These are services I couldn't do my job without, that's what convinced me to pay for them. If you had to pay for Google Analytics I would. Personally: Netflix, WoW, Audible, Last.fm (I live in Canada) simply because they are the _best_ (legal) source of entertainment (in my opinion) in their category.

- chris24 15y agoJust Rdio at the moment.
- holic 15y agoSpotify, DNSimple, AWS, SendGrid I would really like to pay for Github, but the private repo limitations are holding me back. I'd much rather pay $10-20/mo for unlimited private repos if it meant each collaborator also had to be on the same $10-20/mo plan. For now, my private projects are hosted for free at Bitbucket.
