The Apple iCloud online service raises a lot of question about the fate of MobileMe web hostings service.
The Apple iCloud will be replacing this service soon, and the company has finally addressed some concerns such as whether iCloud will offer the same functionality as MobileMe. Apple confirmed that the iCloud service will not allow users to upload any file type they want to iDisk as they can now with MobileMe. In addition, the service will no longer offer web hosting, or the awesome online photo galleries that MobileMe is known for. However, it's still unclear whether third-party companies will develop apps to replace these services. Apple has said that the iCloud storage system will be accessible to approved apps from the iTunes and Mac App stores. As of June 30, the iWeb sites, iDisk data and MobileMe photo galleries will all disappear forever.

The FBI has seized the servers of a web hostings provider from their data facility, which caused a number of customer sites to go down before service was transferred to other facilities. FBI agents took three full rakcs of blade servers from a facility in Maryland that is run by DigitalOne, a Switzerland hosting company.
DigitalOne's web page, along with the popular real estate blog Curbed and the Eater restaurant blog were all affected by the outage. The Pinboard bookmarking site was another victim of the raid, but was able to maintain some service because some of its pages were transferred to a backup facility. A note from DigitalOne said that the FBI was looking for a information on a particular client. The company was clearly upset by the agency's decision to take servers that contained no data related to that one client, calling the agency's work "unprofessional".
