    Hello everyone, I'm just wondering which one of those sites is the best to use? the best in paying, file hosting, uploading speed, earnings per 1000 dls, etc. when you choose one, make sure to state why you think it's better than the rest.

    Thank you,
    YmT590

    i saw that there was gold, copper, silver premiums. do you have to buy them to level up? or reach a certain amount of downloads?

    they are not premiums! they are the levels of the uploader. if you have a higher level, gold or platinum, u get paid more. and to get high levels u need to sell more premiums and get more downloads for each file. u cant just buy them

    so as i said, for a newbie, fileserve is better

    Sorry mate but it aint like most file hoster make it particularly difficult to find they rates on their pages ;-) Selling premium accounts could be easy if you have a high traffic site otherwise don't sweat it. From the choice you given for the pool only FileServe is worth considern - since hotfile has the tier thing were you gotta sell premium in order to get a better rate and megashare.... well ....they have a thread here look for yourself.

    it looks like we have a winner. i guess im gonna go with fileserve here since hotfile has to do with selling premium and it sounds like a waste of time and as for megashare ive already seen their thread and they pay 70% of their revenue. it still looks like im getting ripped off somehow, anyway im going to sign up on fileserve. thanks guys!

    Fileserve is ok when you are uploader.I prefer hotfile as download is faster and more stable.

    Megashare has been around longer than filefactory (than anyone other than rapidshare actually) and as someone who has had accounts with hotfile fileserve and megashare I can absolutely confirm that megashare pays the most WITHOUT the lousy wait times all the other have that only piss your downloaders off....Why not try them for yourselves then you'll have your own informed opinion

    Few things Why i recommend MegaShare.com
    • shares revenue instead of per download that really helps if your downloaders are from Non US the truth is there are a few websites which are ranked high in US and EU regions most of specially forums where you can share your download link are ranked high in India Arab and other Asian countries
    • you can earn with fileserve $25 if you have 450-2048 MB files and downloads from US
    • Trusted network since 2004 and not yet scam reported
    • very low wait time no more then 10 seconds
    • no wait on second file download for free user on fileserve free user have to wait 28 minutes to download second file
    • offer Semi Premium account for free http://www.megashare.com/free_account_hidden.php
    • No need to have a separate referral link for premium account sales if some ones signup premium account to download your file that will you your referral and you get paid

    Among these trhee files hostings I chose Hotfile, because of I stably have there Gold or Platinum and good payment rate. But for beginners it's quite difficukt.
    Two months ago, I could said to you that Sharingmatrix(Filesonic) is the best. Now, I use Oron. But I earn from premium sellings. But, of course, if Filesonic will remove all bugs, so than I try to return to their service.

    I like Hotfile since they pay every Monday and speeds are decent for downloaders. You don't need to sell premiums to get to the highest tier, I've sold only 3 accounts in almost a year, but I'm platinum. It's the quality of traffic you bring. Mostly US downloaders downloading 100+mb files daily and you'll get platinum status. Plus, I get consistent upload/dowload speeds so you know the servers are working.

    Megashare's site loads slowly so that in itself is a turn off. I haven't tried Fileserve since I'm using HF

    have you downloaded the file using internet download manager with MegaShare.com ?
    hotfile 1 stream with no pause function
    MegaShare.com 7 streams with pause facility

    I use download accelerators and HF speeds are up there with the best. I consistently max out at 3MB/sec

    the problem with Megashare, for me at least, is that I can barely access the site at times. I doubt it's my ISP, network, etc.

    plus, I dont want to make a switch since I already have hundreds of files and a 1 year premium account. I'm too deep in it already to bail at this point. Maybe if they fold in the future, then I know of some alternatives if Megashare or Fileserve dont fold either lol

    Hotfile and Fileserve are both very good. Like what one person said up there, Fileserve is good for beginners, and Hotfile is good for people who have high traffic downloads, because of their ranking system, but I would recommend Hotfile out of the two. Why? Speeds are better (only by a bit), and they pay $2 for 1000 downloads from any country (5-50MB), while Fileserve pays $3/1000 from US, UK and Canada.

    I would recommend having a look at Bitshare. They are a very good bunch. Good speeds (200kb/s+), and good payouts too. Oron isn't too bad either.
