Hello,

I was wanting to know if there's a host that would let me put Trial, Shareware and Demo software on site as well as free software updates and addons

I have tried free hostings but there is a big problem with either copyright or bandwidth

Most of the programs would be small being shareware so I don't want to spend a lot of time setting everything up and then find out it's not allowed 5 days later

Could someone give me some idea's

Thanks

ShadowAD

If you really are concerned with opening a site that allows that the easiest way to do it without worrying about copyright issues is link to the downloads. But if you are using shareware and trials, most people are probably gonna go to download.com anyway

Trial, Shareware and Demo software developers love their software to be freely distributed on as many Web sites as possible so that their software can reach a large number of potential buyers. There shouldn't be any problem with copyright issues with these types of software. However I know some Web hosts (including paid ones) do not allow software repositories of any kind so you need to look around.
