What is the best place to read/write/store a small amount of data online?

Question

I want to be able to store, retrieve, and modify a small amount of textual data (< 2 mb) online. What service should I use to be able to do this programatically (in Java)?

Answer 1

You can try Google's App Engine. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/whatisgoogleappengine.html

Also there is Amazon S3. http://aws.amazon.com/s3/

I know a few Open Source people using these tools to store online persistent data to useful effect.

Answer 2

OpenDHT sounds like it will do what you need it to.

Answer 3

Try Google Spreadsheets (Java API Reference). You can upload a CSV which gets automatically converted to a spreadsheet, then you can query or edit it programmatically, or manipulate it online, then if you need to get it as CSV you can export it.
