Default HOST!!

i've been looking in the net for like 8 hours! found like 2 50MB 1-2GB bandwidth.. rar useable.. but they were bullshit! when ever i finished uploading the files wouldn't be there... 125MB.com is no good too.. cant post links... and is seems to be down now..

i need a free host! any free host with normal useable features! (i saw tons with like 5-12MB and 600 bandwidth.. and that no good..)

i can't believe i couldn't find anything! i have an old 0catch account.. but it wont let me upload rars...

i saw a lot of graet deals for like $10 usd a month.. but i'm not sure... first i want to see what useage i have for a small free one...

anyone that has any idea.. PLEASE let me know!

I have an idea, if you say they wont allow you to upload rar files, then change the .rar extention to .html or .avi or .Anything and have whoever dloads change it back to .rar before uncompressing! This not only will allow you to host it, but will vaguely protect from leaches! I mean, no one will believe that a vid can be a huge .html file lol so that must work!

Erez, really, it would be so much simpler to spend 10 USD a month and be able to upload even a single file 1 GB big free host = pain in the ass, slow speeds and various other problems...

You pay 10 USD for your DSL?!? Hell LOL, I pay around 55 for mine! And I add to this the 10 USD needed for the website

I really hope you will find a way to "abuse" a free host but the day you will finally make the step toward a "true" host, you will laugh at free ones

No, it's to much IMO! I don't trust hosts offering unlimited transfer rates or even such high values for so few bucks! That could mean slow speeds because they host lot of people on the same machine..

My host (http://hosting.infomaniak.ch/) is in the range I still trust: 1 GB of space and 40 GB for transfers. It's a Swiss host, and that's why I chosed them: I can phone them and get answers in a glimpse. The best is always to find an host in your country.. I used 2 or 3 US hosts and never was 100% satisfied, especially when troubles arised...

Anyway, IMO when they offer so much for so low, there should be something like server overload or such.. or at least they simply count on the fact 90% of their customers won't use more than 10% of the limits.. but it's still a risk...

Yes for sure you missed them. I host vids every now and then in the download club and the last two were absolutely GREAT IMO (thanks to yg60)
