    Hi everyone,

    Just finished a project with our band, and wish to place our first album up on the internet for promotional reasons. (all perfectly legit, our copyright).

    With all the costs of getting a band up and running, we were looking at free webhosting. We seem to be annoyed that they all have "FILE SIZE LIMITS ". We plan on placing some files up, (wmv files) about the 40 Meg Size.

    Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.

    Looking for something with about:

    150-200 Meg Space
    No File Size Limit
    about 2-5 GIG of Bandwith a month.
    Don't care if site has ads.

    I'm quite sure this is a reasonable expectation, don't know if I'm looking in the right places.

    Thanks in advance

    Thetwo major costs for a host are hard drive space and bandwidth. large files requiremore disk space and more bandwidth to upload and download by viewers. Free webhosts are not a good solution for in order to offset their costs they will either limit bandwidth & disk space as well as display ads on your pages.

    Hosting is cheap. For example, for about a hundred bucks/year you can get the following:
    3,000 MB Hosting
    • 500 Pop E-Mails
    • SSL, FTP, Stats
    • CGI, PHP, MySQL
    • FrontPage Ext
