I need a free webhosting company to host my banner exchange. I've tried VirtualAve (deleted) f2s (script doesn't work) ProHosts (script doesn't work) Tripod (script doesn't work) Spaceports (deleted). I also tried my paid host and my account was deleted for excessive bandwidth usage. My main site webhost won't touch it. Good grief, I need help!! If I can't find a free host, what would be a reasonable paid host to try? I'm thinking the banner exchange will use about 20G transfer a month. I don't need a whole lotta space. Probably about 20Mb.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried the search engine here, but no word on hosting banner exchanges...

If you're looking for 20GBs transfer, and SpacePorts turned you down you're pretty much out of options; however, it might be a good idea to email a big site related to the BE and ask if they'll host you. That way you get less users on the service and more advanced options.

You run into two problems with hosting banner exchanges:

bandwidth (due to serving images all over the place) and CPU resources (due to processing the banners).

What is your budget? What is your actual usage you got canned for at your previous host?

if the script doesn't work on numerous servers, its probably you who's done something wrong.
