Hi all. I'm going to start a forum for sharing files. but I read some host don't accepte those things. So can anyone help me, find a good host? Thanks in advance.
You may consider going with offshore hosting instead of common web hosting company. Most companies especially based in US won't accept that kind of website. A well known offshore hosting are companies in Netherland or Sweden.
Thanks all for your replies I really appreciate it. I guess I should just chose a hosting that accepte warez. xD. So anyone can suggest a good host with a good price, please? Thanks in advance.
I don't have any specific recommendations, but this is good advice. Just remember to find reviews on a host before you purchase anything.
Check our plans: Warez hosting is not allowed, but linking them external from the forum is fine with us, www.aquickhost.com/shared.php Thanks,
Depending in which file is it...? if its warez file (which I'm sure is that) then you should thing about an offshore hosting.
I would say a good host would charge you as much if not more then if you were to rent out a machine yourself. Filesharing can consume space and or bandwidth (unless the files will not be done on your end but on another end such as rapidshare. I would also suggest you contact each webhost you have in mind to ask them about their Term and Conditions, for example many hosts don't allow adult content on their servers or IRC related content. You do not want to break a rule and have your services suspended or terminated without refund and or getting your files back in case you did not do a back up. Its something to really think about
By file sharing forum, do you mean you literally hosting files or just linking to them? underhost.com, elevatedservers.com is an option to be consider for.
