I have been looking around for general backup solutions and was wanting to know if anyone has some to advise as while I backup religiously 7 times a week for 2 weeks I realize I have no off-site backup area and I was wondering if there is any online backup provider ideally flexible to what i use but I'll take whatever. The space offered has to be relatively large >_>
 
If you are with Virgin, they offer unlimited backup on their 50Mb+ service (takes forever to upload though!)

Crashplan are a good choice, will even supply a drive to dump the initial backup onto so only changes are uploaded. Software runs on just about anything and allows you to keep snapshots at whatever frequency you need

Mozy is reasonably cheap for online backup too
 
Backupyourpc online is pretty cheap and unlimited storage.

It backs up everything you want initially, then automatically backs up any file that changes, on the fly, rather than scheduled backups.
 
Don't go with Mozy they have just announced they are getting rid of their unlimited package snippet from their email, I'm guessing to bring the UK inline with their US packages:

Thanks for being a valued Mozy subscriber. We are introducing some adjustments to our MozyHome service and wanted to give you a heads up. We are replacing our MozyHome Unlimited backup plan and introducing new tiered storage plans:

50 GB for £4.99 per month (includes backup for 1 computer)
125 GB for £7.99 per month (includes backup for up to 3 computers)
You may add additional computers (up to 5 in total) or 20 GB increments of storage to either of the plans, each for a monthly cost of £1.75.

For me no thanks, currently backing up 255gb, that would take my monthly bill from £5.99 to £12.99. They can take my business and shove it, currently look at migrating to Carbonite.
