What's the way to go? Myspace won't cut it. I've got something like 15MB for free with my cablemodem account, but I'm tired of deleting one song to put up another in its place, and leaving dead links out there.

I want something like maybe 100MB, or 250MB, of web space. Just a place I can put whatever I want and then link to it as I see fit. I'd prefer something with no monthly bandwidth limitation. But if that's crazy expensive, then something with a very large bandwidth limit would be fine.

So what's the way to go? Does anybody have anything like this that they're either happy or unhappy with? Is it just too damn expensive?

i use doteasy

Scott-

I use icdsoft. It's not free, but $5 per month is pretty cheap. I get 500MB storage and 7GB of data transfer per month. Their support has been good so far (2 years or so), and the features more than cover my needs.

On a mac?
Try macidol.

Ah. If it makes any difference, it definitely needs to be PC-friendly, whether or not it is Mac-friendly (for uploading/ administration) is not a concern.

Thank you all for the suggestions thus far!

I've been happy with Powweb. They keep upping my disk space (12GB now) and bandwidth (300GB/month--that's right, 300). About the only quibble I could make is that I don't have shell access, but at $96/year, I'm ok with that.

i use 1and1.com, which i think is super cheap. at $2.99 a month you get 5000MB of space, 250GB of transfer volume, 500 email accounts and more.

i'm looking to get a site too, something modest.

could someone please tell me what the significance is of mac vs. pc hosting? what does that mean? as long as i have an ftp and enough space to put a few images up, without any shitty pop-up ads, i'll be fine.

I'm hosting my own stuff now, but before then I used icdsoft as well. It has one of the best control panel interfaces available, and its not too expensive.

Their hosting is Unix-based (I believe), and they support PHP, MySQL (with phpMyAdmin for database maintenance), and Frontpage extensions (ack!)

To answer your question eksvplot, what platform you host on doesn't make much of a difference - unless you want to use .net. What's more important is the web server that's used. IIS has a lot more overhead. I would find a service that uses Apache if possible. Icdsoft uses Apache-

Anway, hope this help some!
