There are no companies which will be able to help you with shared hosting plans to host your files. You should go for VPS or Dedicated server. Again you can host any illegal files in US based server. You must have the proper copyright of that file. Most of the hosting companies don't allow any kind of file hosting service in shared hosting accounts as it may drain the bandwidth as well as when files are downloaded by many users it causes high server load (You may think about CHEAP unmetered hosting plans but the plans are limited to certain amount of CPU use). Why don't you host your files in Rapidshare? What is the problem with Rapidshare? Netherlands and Hongkong are the two countries where most of the warez linking sites are hosted. But you will face legal problems if your files contains virus or spyware. Laws against warez linking sites may be relaxed in these coutnries but if you are hosting warez files it will be considered highly illegal. Most of the warez files (applications) contains Trojan or spyware. Even some months ago a popular host's (Hongkong based) server seized by police because some of the client on the server was distributing spyware.
Dear I am planing to start my own file hosting site like rapid share... problem is not with me.. problem is with users that will upload illegal file and time frame between uploaded file and deletion of the file may be two days as my staff can't check every file and its also against TOS. That's why I am asking...
:| He said it was fine... only a complete idiot would use a shared server for any sort of file host. You need a ded svr for that stuff.... at which he said that was ok :| wtf is ur dilemer?
not like that, he said not allowed on their server, they will shut down the server... this is point, but how rapid share is working... having a lot of warez etc...
" HTS Tom: For that you will need to get server from us HTS Tom: which is in Netherland HTS Tom: there you can upload files as per your requirement HTS Tom: but we do not allow the illegal content on our shared server " This means they allow warez content when you purchase a dedicated server from them that they have in the netherlands. But they do not allow it on their shared as this will use heaps of bandwidth etc etc. So you can use them for warez... just only with a ded svr.
