Title: Looking for a web hosting service
Post by: fidodido on Mon 08/11/2004 22:32:10
Hello,

I spent a few hours looking for a server to host the download for "Conspiracy of Songo" that was down last few months.

Does anyone know any good hosting services I can use to store a 10 MB file?

Thanks in advance.

If you want, I can host it on my server (I have gigs and gigs of resources to spare).

If you're interested, upload it via FTP to my anonymous ftp.

Host: ftp.toefur.com
User: anonymous@toefur.com
Password: guest

Upload it there, and then I will move it somewhere else on the server and post back in here with the download location,

just found this today and have been using it -
Only allows  you 8mb per game and only two games but Together thats 16mb so if you split it into two pieces it might be useful.

Thank you both very much.

SuspectDevice, I couldn't access the ftp server, it gave me a no permission message.

I used Mr Frisby's suggestion and it worked well.

Thanks again.

Check out This Page (http://www.free-webhosts.com/webhosting-01.php) for a pretty big list of free hosting services. The best thing about it is that you can read user reviews about the sites, so if there is a 'catch', you'll find out about it.

Adventure Developers .com hosts (independent/amateur adventure related) websites too!

- Unlimited space
- Unlimited bandwitdh
- www.yourname.adventuredevelopers.com address

One catch: You need to display one banner on only the first page of the website.

where can you upload things and how much is the limit, do you need to register to forums?

We offer hosting of your game's website, and of course any files that come with it (such as a demo or the full game itself). You need to apply for this (contact us via the website, or PM me).

Files will be uploaded via an FTP program.
No file size limit, but the files must be relative to your game, of course. (Fair use policy)

We're already hosting Herculean Effort Productions, for example. And Screen 7, Out of Order, etc...

I notice, however, that they don't host Empty House Entertainment. Care to comment on that, Erwin?

Tis a conspiracy, I say!

(Please note that the above post may contain 100% teasing. And by "may" I mean "it does")

Because www.emptyhouse.net is hosted on my own server. :)

Why don't you see if you're service provider offers webspace? Our ISP is wanadoo, and I think I get about 100MB of space and a bunch of other crap, because we get our internet from them. OK, the url they give me is a bit long, but I can live with that. Something to look into.
