Need specific hosting!

Need hosting that allows image and file uploading scripts for 2 domains, if tons of addon domains are available that would be great but not needed.

Just post if you can supply it, thanks.

Edit, misunderstood your post.

I doubt anyone can give free hosting for image/file uploading... cos it requires allot of resources (space/bandwidth) to run such scripts.

Good Luck!

Yes, most if not all sane and decent hosts do not allow such scripts.

Also, not to be mean, but if any host tries to offer this, I highly suggest you not use them as how bright can you be to allow someone to do such a thing? Shared (as in paid) hosts often do not allow this, why would a good, decent, and reliable one allow this? You would need to get VPS or dedicated to do this...

We would allow it, but you can't really upload so much on 300 MB of space. aldo is right - you would be much better off with a VPS or (even better!) a dedicated server. That way, you wouldn't run out of space so fast. Plus, a VPS provider or dedicated server provider would possibly (not guaranteed, though) work with you if illegal content was uploaded by one of your users. A shared hosting provider (including us) would probably just block your account.

You should look at http://www.netfirms.com/max - they are one of the only companies that allows this on their shared hosting plans, and the link above is a good deal if you choose to go that route. Bear in mind they take swift action against illegal content.

Well a file upload website is usually NOT ran on shared host / reseller / or even VPS... you would need a dedicated server... You could try buying a server from giga-international , they offer unlimited BW...

You can usually run a file host on VPS, I know www.knownhost.com would allow it. KnownHost is AWESOME, and excellent uptime, thats where www.fatehost.net is hosted and we still have a 100% uptime

Its not unlimited BW, but usually if not always, unlimited BW hosts are crap...

I know it takes a lot of bandwidth.

And I'm not paying for this.

Thanks

aldo · 05-21-2008, 06:03 PM

Then you really won't be able to do this...
