I'm putting together a site about an old radio station.
I've got loadsa old recordings I wanna put up for people to stream/download.
Is there anywhere free/cheap where I can put the audio files and link to them so it'll save my bandwidth?
we're LearnOutLoud and we're currently running out of space on our 1.2 terabyte server filled up 90% with audio files. We'll be expanding in the coming years with the audio files that we'll be adding and we're looking for the best option for storing our audio files.
We're talking with our ISP about getting an 8 drive chassey with 8 500GB drives for a total of 4.0 terabytes with a RAID setup giving us about 3.5 terabytes to work with. It will cost us in the $3000-$5000 range and we're just not sure if we want to put that up at the moment, as this growth will be over time and we may not even need all this space.
What we'll be storing on this new server would be just audio files (audio books that are purchased on our site). They are not accessed very heavily so we don't need to concern ourselves too much with processing speed or bandwidth.
We're looking into some other solutions for storage such as Amazon S3, Media Temple, and some other ones. We don't need a lightning fast expensive content delivery network like Limelight Networks, as their storage costs are way too much. We want something we can grow and pay as we grow.
Other then webmin and virtualmin are there any other decent free panels out there?
I was looking at some of the pricing on some of the panels out there and their pricing models. Direct Admin seems to be the cheapest with 9 dollars a month (if you qualify that is.) Is that pretty much as low as it will get? I would think there might be some that are cheaper then that depending on the bulk size and others.
Could any you please provide info about any cheap and good VPS hosting.

Please suggest some tested options. Which one of the cheaper options are time tested and reliable?
looking forward to cheap windows host .....

I am currently paying about £2.50 a month and don't want to pay much more, I have a plan with 10gb storage and 100gb bandwidth and SSH and Cron jobs. Does anyone know a company that will do a similar deal and allow me to run the script by opening the required port etc?
Friend of mine is starting up a business and is looking for a reliable and fast web host in the UK but also not too expensive around £100/year and maybe 100gb bandwidth not sure on that.
Looked over reviewcentre.com and picked out some high rated ones with more than 5 reviews, however every single one I have read horror stories about elsewhere (including ukfast which seemed so good looking at reviews).
Can someone recommend any decent ones to me who won't screw up payments or have much downtime, with maybe a year or more of being with them? All I need to start is a bit of bandwidth for pretty much one image to start with, uptime and email, already got the domain from domainmonster.
Can anyone recommend a cheap reliable Windows VPS host? My sites (shared) are hosted on Fluid Hosting , I am very happy with their service but their Win VPS prices are too high for me, I just want to use VPS for testing my applications.
I found cheapvps.co.uk searching on WHT, but their support seems to be patchy?
Does anyone have experience with the cheap $1 web hosts?
I don't mind paying for hosting, but I only need one script installed on a server that runs a cron file once per day and I don't want to pay $5 to $10 for that.
My question is basically this: is my credit card safe with these $1 web hosts? Can they be trusted to keep my identity safe?
Who knows a good host that offers PHP5, mySQL 5, and at least 1 TB of hard drive space for a cheap hosting account.
I am setting up a digital asset management tool and I need alot of hard drive space for a few of users to be able to download large image files.
Which is why i need massive amounts of hard drive space.
If anyone knows of anything, please PM me or post it here. I will be checking this thread periodically.
OH and by cheap I mean less then $100/month.
I would guess the server could be either VPS or Shared or if you know of a dedicated server company, then that would be awesome too.
I am creating a basic static site for my friend's gardening business. It will use html and CSS only, be around 5MB at most and does not require any databases, php support etc.
My problem is that he wants to basically have the site up and running and then be able to forget about it really. I will be going on now and again to update it for him, but that is about it. My experience with free hosts is limited, I have used byethost before, and though very good, they do require a log on every week else they assume the site is no longer wanted and delete the account and all files!
So, my requirements are:
Free host that easily allows to have your own domain name
Email address with the company domain, so quotes@domain.com, not quotes@domain.host.com
Cheap
Good customer service
Need no more than 20MB (allow for some extra photos to be added)
UK Based would be preferable
I would like to suggest visualvps to anyone looking for a vps because they are low priced with what they offer to you, they have alot of different linux server os' that you can choose from when you sign up. They offer cpanel for only $12 extra a month which if pretty good. They have very fast support, when I submitted a support ticket they replied very fast (in like 5-10 min)! I am very impressed with them and im sure anyone browsing this forum would be.
Personally I would give them 5 / 5 stars because they have earned it!
I want to know if it is possible to get a free service of my own?
like how Geocities offers free hosting with ads ie, I want to be able to do this, I know it is sort of possible
ie, [url]
I've been wondering if there are any free hosting sites that have IP Adress logs of the people that have visited your site.

My brother wants to open a free file hosting and need good quality unmetered bandwidth with many hdd space also. Anyone maybe has experience before on this? i searched whole forum and found that the datacenter who offer it and with cheap price is fdcservers, and just found leaseweb also not bad.
is there any good and bad review on those datacenters? or maybe could suggest other datacenter?
i would really appreciate if you want to share it
What is the best way to host sites with controversial but borderline legal content?
In the USA, although there is some free speech protection from the 1st amendment, the threat of lawsuits defeats it and the businesses err on the side of caution.
I don't mean abuse either, like selling pirated software or allowing spammers to flood people. I mean, actual valuable speech that is legal, but upsets people.
The USA datacenters suspend accounts and disconnect servers all the time over this. All it takes are either lots of complaints to the abuse team, or scary legal letters.
This makes it impossible for people with unpopular beliefs to share them or expose powerful people for their fraud since they can easily scare the host into censoring.
So how can we provide actual free speech hosting? When I get a dedicated server or colocate in a datacenter I'm under their TOS and AUP. I read them, and it seems good.
But then abuse gets complaints from people. If they're a good host they'll look into it and dismiss the ones that don't have legal merit. But the complaints keep coming.
Finally it reaches a point where they're sick of seeing complaints for your servers, or one of the lawyer's letters sounds scary and legit so they give up and terminate.
The way it should be is, they tell them to email us instead, NOT the datacenter. "We aren't liable for the content hosted we just provide the facility, contact the client".
But they don't do that. They act as police. Well that'd be fine and good for the network if they were good police. But they don't know the law in detail and aren't judges.
So I don't know how to exercise the free speech rights of my customers who want to have a place on the web to say controversial things or post upsetting information.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Some things I'm thinking about are, offshore, mirrors, or ISP.
For offshore, maybe there is some place where people don't threaten to sue like the USA, and the Americans can't bully the datacenter. If they have free speech rights it might work.
For mirrors, maybe there's a way to link a bunch of shared hosting accounts into a central dedicated server that pushes content out to them, so when the server is pulled the rest stays.
For ISP, maybe datacenters are legally liable so we need to go higher. What if we got regular Business internet from AT&T or Verizon and hosted in an office? Will they still suspend?
Can some one suggesst CGI free host site with LWP, as my company has blocked some site & I need to refer that so will lwp to pull that page & I can view the page which is blocked

1) Php/MySQL Support
2) .htaccess support, so I can have search-engine-friendly URLs.
3) Preferably I'd like there to only be a text/graphic ad at the bottom of the page, or to be able to pay a small fee and have the ad removed. (No popups)
Is there any such host available, or can any of you guys here who sell web hosting set me up with one such account?
I heard a lot about 110mb and registered with them.My experience was very bad.I even paid for upgrades,but the uptime was very bad.Most of the time my site was down.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHeres the thing, I purchased a domain today at 123-reg.co.uk
And well, I'm planning on creating a forum for this domain under another host. But I will be getting that host in a few months, since I'm going on vacation for 6 weeks and its unnecesary to already pay a host.
So I'm looking for a free host, that supports nameserver change. Because I wan't to have a temporary page with Coming Soon text on it and a contact form, so the host should be able to use php also. This is just till I'm back from the vacation and have the new host. Anybody knows a nice one?
Also another question, this is my first time using a seperate domain from host. Can I always change my domains nameservers? So that when I return from vacation, I can apply them on the new host?
if there is a hosting company which provides free SEO tools or other web site promotion services for its customers. I know the companies which provide their customers with free domains if they buy their hosting, but I have never heard of hosting companies which provide free website promotion services for their clients, do such companies exists?
