    Hello,

    Are there any hosting sites that are good for just uploading videos and stuff, so that you can link to them from your site, and offer your visitors fast access to them, if your own sites server doesn't have much bandwidth?

    Thanks.

    Check out Amazons S3 data storage service.

    Hey,

    At first, I was like Yippee! I saw the prices, and signed up...now I don't have a clue how to use this. It keep saying it's for developers. I am looking for an upload button...and, well...this isn't exactly setup like that. Anyone have a clue as to how I might upload a file that my customers can access via our website?

    Thanks.

    Amazon sent out an email suggesting www.elephantdrive.com which I think is a service attempting to put an interface between "real" people and the S3 backend. It's not quite ready for prime time either IMHO :)

    My hope is that in the next 3-6 months I can use it to offload the storage and bandwith needs of lots of large image files. I have a programmer working on that but it won't happen overnight.
