I rented a VPS and set up a file host. I thought I was pretty lucky to get the domain but who knows. So what do you think of the domain/site? and what would be some good ways for me to advertise it? www.simplefilehosting.com
great domain,the domain name will help you in the SEO,great site,but i think that you should put an image with logo in the header
great site, slick and pro-looking design, it looks perfect. i don't have a comment about the site itself. but i have a technical comment. i know that if you have a vps your available diskspace is limited, and you're paying an arm and a leg... so a vps is not ideal for something like this which needs a humongous amount of diskspace. you would actually be better off with a shared hosting account offering 200GB - 300GB of storage which, paradoxically, costs only a tenth of what you pay for a vps. performance-wise, all you are doing is pulling files, so why do you need a vps? imho.
The way I understand it; it's good to start off with shared hosting, then move to VPS then to dedicated server as traffic, bandwidth and disk space increases. I just started with VPS as the prices weren't too bad. As the site is brand new I don't expect to get much traffic etc. So I thought I would start out small and upgrade as the site expanded. Plus I'm sure there are some other cons about shared hosting.
good work. one suggestion maybe you can change the bakgorund of th elogo to the bg of your page or make your logo bg transparent
