Hi everyone,
I am wanting to buy Amazon cloud storage‎ to backup my websites data but I have not ever used this service before. Does anyone give me any first steps to start using it? how to buy? how to backup my website data to Amazon and how to download my data from Amazon to my PC if needed?

By Amazon cloud, I am guessing you mean S3.

With BountySite, you can subscribe for any plan and add Backup Sync. The process is automated post every change in backup.
You need to provide with key and secret for uploading backup data. The data is password protected zip, with whole history of the site.

You can download by logging into EC2 portal -> S3 and download directly. Note, download data costs 0.10$ per GB, with S3.

In WHM - there is an option to upload data to S3. The process of restore is manual.

Where you get this information? this price is very high, if I download 100GB, it costs me $10

Is there a tutorial for configuring this? I saw this option in my WHM too but not sure how to do more.

With BountySite, when opting for Backup Sync, backup data will be sent to your S3 account.

You need to create an account in AWS and create bucket. The following link might be of some help.

Check bandwidth pricing of AWS. Data into AWS network is free, but download is 0.10 or 0.09$ per GB.

I may need to buy one to try for my websites and check how it works.

What about Google cloud storage https://cloud.google.com/storage/?

How can it compare with Amazon s3?

Like almost all object storage offers, it's pretty similar to AWS S3, you will be billed for storage, transfers and operations.
