File Hosting

    Hello,

    Well I currently have hosting with Godaddy.com but i have probably 500 programs that i put on my site that people can download. Those had to be deleted sometime ago.

    I want to move to another hosting to cut down costs but it looks like most i would need dedicated server to have the ability to upload files for people to download.

    I do this more as a hobby since i dont make money.

    Does anyone know of a good solid file hosting operation i could use free or small payment so i can cut down my web hosting costs and plan for the future?

    Good Question,

    150MB on the website right now since they are needed for upload.com (which those are approved for)
    250mb on Dropbox(which it says i have up to 2gig)

    My total website is 700MB(including files for my crossword/wordsearch puzzle site

    Is dropbox a legit way to go is another question i had?

    So im looking for at min gig. BW i have no idea what/where to find that matric since i scaled down my site once i had to delete those files

    Most companies i talk to are just saying dedicated server

    Any other alternatives anyone has? Possible solutions?
