Rule of thumb: forget about 'web wallets'.

I'll say it again: do not store your coins on third parties' servers. This practice goes against the core idea of a decentralized currency and puts your assets at risk.
Biggest problem at the moment are Ripple, except GateHub I didn't find anything else...  Undecided

A better option is to use a desktop wallet (assuming you're using a Unix-based operating system, i.e. Linux or macOS). Check out Exodus - it's a clean, lightweight, cross-platform wallet app that handles ETH, BTC and a bunch of other assets.
I've never heard about Exodus, I'll do some research about it  Wink

Yeah, I'm actually seriously thinking about getting KeepKey!

But MyEtherWallet is only online, right? And if happens something to the website? Will it be possible to get back the money?

Always store your coins on a device that you personally own and control. Your least secure option is to use a mobile wallet. There are many mobile wallet apps on the market, but I won't recommend any of them because they inherit all the security flaws of the underlying platform - be it iOS or Android.

The regular wallet (mist/geth) took up 20gb the last time i tried it and either has to be running all the time or takes hours to update to use (from what i remember)

Any alternatives, especially liteweight, out there besides just storing them on exchanges?

Why using that hassle wallet while theirs myetherwallet existing? Just listen to the other suggestion since this wallet can assure that you wouldn't get pain in the ass if you want to transact you eth as soon you would need it but you need  some extra balance for gas up.

But if you want to store in exchanger well much better if you separate your eth and don't put all you have on one basket.

myetherwallet.com is so great that you can store different kind of tokens which is why this is also what I'm using. I'm storing my GUP, ICN, EDGELESS and Xaurum in myetherwallet. I will also add some Taas TOken later once its available in the exchanges. What I like so much of it is that you can use it offline by downloading the zip file of it.

I store them using MyEtherWallet which is a great mix of security and ease of use. It is an open-source lightweight client requiring no synchronisation. Simply the best Ethereum storing method out there, hands down !

You can use Parity, and prune the chain. you will have access to a fully functional node with less blockchain size, with some limitations.

Or fetch for some ethereum lightwallets, but you won't have any RPC or console possibilities as it is the point of lightwallets.

If you just need to store ethers, you can use Exodus or Jaxx.
