Free Hosting for Games

Post by dejai »

If you want to host a file that is 100mb or less and you cannot do it from your own website or you just want a download link to send to your friends that will not expire! then go to http://www.mediafire.com/ you do not even need to sign up! The upload speeds pretty good and a the end it gives you a link so that you can share it to your friends. :D Enjoy

There's really too many of those file hosting sites around on the internet, it's hard to tell which one is just there for the ad money and won't be able to stay up long, kinda like free web hosters. :( But that one looks slightly reliable... has a PC World sticker on it. Nice find, i guess. :)

www.fileden.com is also very good. You get 500 (or 600 now, not sure) MB of free file hosting.

Edit: Just checked at its up to 1GB free storage. :D

wow! fileden is great! Thanks for the link Xfactor! ;)

Is there a similar free service (file storage) but with FTP options?

i can provide free ftp or file hosting
i have tons of bandwidth and space.

Just PM me or something, I guess the only problem I see with this is that it would be @ ultimate-ownage.com =p

Hey afecelis, I'm not really sure what you meant by ftp access, but take a look at this: http://files-upload.com

Thanks a lot for your kind offer Mokeycracks. Wildrj also offered me his kind services and I'm using the FTP space he so nicely set up for me. But I find these free services to be a great alternative for lots of friends I got that require a fast and easy way to upload stuff, and sometimes they don't even know how to use an FTP client, so they come in pretty handy. I've mailed the fileden link to several of them ;)

But Wildrj's wild idea of somehow having more users access free space to host their projects and stuff is a noble and great way of thinking, just like yours monkeycracks! ;)

Thanks to all for your generosity.

Regards,
Alvaro

@Xfactor: I'm checking the link you sent me.

best option for free hosting imo is www.googlepages.com - you can trust that the 100mb google offer won't dissapear overnight

I didnt actually know google provided this service. That's good to know, cheers bitplane. I think i'll take a look at that. :)

For hosting, imo awardspace is great. Ive never had probems with them and know a few people that also use them and have never had problems. It's also easy to upgrade to a premium service with them if need be.

does googlepages have a limit to users in bandwidth ? I know, there's allways a limit, but u never know with Google power tm...

and space? how much space it gives...I'd be ok to go like with 100/200 mb and 30 gigs of bandwidth..

but maybe 5 could do...
does the free plan had many time outs for you switccase? slows down? how¡s speed?

i am also wondering these specs with googlepages, and if I'd be allowed to make my domain account (have allways apart from hosting) point to that space ( so my .com would point there... ) I dunno if these companies main interest is that you specifically cant do that...

Vermeer...

with awardspace you get:
200 MB disk space
5GB monthly traffic
5 sub domains
emails (i think but not sure)
php and mysql support
no adds slapped on your site.

ive never had any downtime but im not too sure about speed, seems perfectly fine though. and you can point your domain name to the space.

I have a thousand gigs of bandwidth/month and I don't use near any of that. Also have about 4.8gb of space left.

Basically it's up for grabs right now, I'm using it but not THAT much of it.
