If you don't turn your computer on at least once a day, then chances are you aren't reading your email on it.

Run your calendar/bill-reminder software on the machine you use the most (which you'd do naturally, anyway) — whether it be your phone, your laptop, or wherever — and the justification for remote hosting collapses.

Unless you're away from your usual location for a couple of weeks, in which case this type of remote hosting is pretty darn useful (unless your primary computer is your smartphone, but not everyone has one).
