BackupURL.com – Create A Cached Copy Of Any URL

BackupURL.comBackupURL.com is the tool you were looking for in order to make the internet freeze! How many times have you found something on the net which you really crave and that you want to show all your friends, and when you return to the site everything has changed?

In all honesty, with the sheer speed at which the internet regenerates each day it is so easy to lose track of all the stuff you like.

Very often, when you go and try out your bookmarks they all take you to something that resembles more a ghost town than the site you bookmarked. However, not all is lost since BackupURL can help sort out this little conundrum we have to deal with.

Here’s what to do, land on their site and it’s all simple and straightforward – type in the URL you want saved and hit “Backup!”. Presto! You are all done! The result is a new URL where you can access the exact same site you just backed up only that it’s coming from a different server and it will not be updated ever again. This application is really cool if you need to use an alternate mirror to handle the load on your site or as a safeguard in case your servers blow up or something bizarre happens to them like being hit by a hurricane, or who knows what.
