OK, this is a big one, I'm not really expecting to find it, but you never know... So if you're just going to reply with, "You're not going to find it" don't bother please. Ta.
:D

100+mb

No ads -- yea, yea, I know - ok, so if you've gotta go with ads, bottom banner or pop-ups. Or a text link, even.

A very decent chunk of bandwidth.

FTP

*

It's for a fansite - 1000+ views per day. If I don't find a host, I've got to close it forever.

Oh, and please don't suggest grabbing two Angelfire accounts - that's an extreme last resort, I think.

Thanks, hope someone can help.

P.S. If someone were to host me, I think it would be worth their while; if I put a button/banner/text link/whatever on my main page, that would be an exposure of 1000+ people daily... Just a thought...

Please help!! :)

2 tripod accounts? :p :D

OK, the real solution is hard to find, or maybe i;m just lazy...

I know, it's going to be difficult...

I think my best bet is to get a paid hosting service to give me a freebie account in return for placing a banner or whatever advertising their hosting on my main page - they'd get a pretty good amount of exposure... I don't suppose that will happen though. :(

A may be totally wrong here...but didn't a new host turn up that host your domain if you got a certian number of hits? 1 pop-up a day or something.

That's why they call him the information booth...or at least why he calls himself that.

Phroz, there was another one a month or two back. They didn't require that many hits (*think*). Do you remember?

Well, I don't know exactly...

Enough for 1000+ views to the main page, plus those people looking at photos, and numerous .html files daily... Because of the daily news & photo updates; the size, I expect, is quite large...

No response yet, but then it hasn't been even 24 hours yet! :D

Any suggestions in the meantime, in case I don't get accepted?
