Free Unlimited Webspace [Archive]

IMO, I don't think "unlimited" goes with anything. Well, actually, it does. A lot, in fact. Ex: Downtime, unreliable, gone-within-a-week, not really unlimited, ads, slow... etc.

maybe Bill Gates can create a webhosting service with truly unlimited space...

Oh, but it would be ran under Microsoft. Would you actually think that host would be STABLE?!?!

I bet a buck it won't. (Too poor... :p)

I didn't say anything, Nick did.

Yeah, I'm talking about Nick. Maybe I should've quoted Nick's post to make things clearer...

Coolin

Ya, that's what the quote button is for. Or you could say, Nick: Message here.

Slowing down... leads to stopping... leads to dying...

Clear enough ?

Crosswinds has erm... a unique speed. And they haven't died yet.

LeX

February 17th, 2001, 23:55

'Cause they've got pop-ups now.... and they have idoit visitors who click on the "Click here to get rid of the pop ups! :(" banners thinking it will really get rid of 'em when all it really does is generate revenue for them, so they'll still be around for some time.

for host for a 22 meg avi i swear i have check out
%99 of the hosts out they, by upload the 22 meg file then see if the thing download at any speed your can't get speed with large files none have any speed :( the only way is to break up the files or get ahost for the file

i am using http://www.esmartstart.com/
http://www.thomas4d.esmartdesign.com
for my site they are one of the only useful
free host out they have ad banners & 3 meg file limit
but you get fast host ftp, 100 meg if you need more then that just apply twice or 8 times if you need 800 megs
no file type limit ( zip, rar, ace, exe, anything )

crosswind are very slow the popups sux big time

spaceport ( i dont like when something loads that takes over your system this seem to happen when i load my spaceports site a pop up of some kind :oP

why do you need a short domain name ?

FluxFX

warez??? games??? appz???

best bet is to sign up with websolo.com 9.99$ a month for 10$ big activation fee, but they pay for the domain and it works out

i mean you wont find that, too many people ask for that but i learned not everything in life is free, so i saved up my money and bought some space and a domain

its way better then a FWP and it can be cheap

They only offer 20MB, right? I need more than that!

Some people have legit download sites, but you won't find many on free servers. And, if you want all that space, do you expect to get it for free? Ad banners have a purpose, to supply the user with a free service. Without them, the host has no income, so they loose money, wither up and die.

If you need all that, why don't you go to a pay host for 10$ a month + reliability?

LeX

February 23rd, 2001, 08:01

Even with paid hosting, it's still hard to find one that offers "unlimited" space.

Cracker

February 23rd, 2001, 08:13

I believe http://www.hispeed.net/ and http://www.simplenet.com/ are paid hosts that offer "unlimited" space with "unlimited" bandwidth. Hispeed.net for only $9.95 / month.
You know why a lot of paid hosts charge extra for more space. Pure greed! Disk space is cheap! And while there is really no such thing as "unlimited," it is not uncommon for any host, free or paid, to be able to afford all the disk space it needs to accommodate all of its members.

ace0

February 24th, 2001, 15:19

I don't have $10 a month-but I am very close to finding a host that I want-I am just checking now. I will let you know if they are good.

Coolin

February 24th, 2001, 17:06

Please do tell us the name, as we probably have had past expirences with this host.

ace0

February 24th, 2001, 19:39

I was with Elitecities, but I have found out their problems, I think. I will tell you if the next one is any good.

Coolin

February 24th, 2001, 19:45

Actually, why not just tell us the name of every host you find and we could all try it and see if it's good ourselves? Having many people test it gives a far more accurate result of the actual quality of the host.

ace0

February 25th, 2001, 17:08

I am just waiting for one more email-they are really fast on returning email.

You see, I am trying to compile all the best free items on the internet into my site, and then I will post everything on it. It should be up shortly, so I will tell you the name.

Where is that site of yours! And on what host, I'm searching a good host myself. I tried many. I already used all of the no add hosts listed.

Coolin

March 2nd, 2001, 15:52

It isn't up yet, so you can't get the URL.

ace0

March 2nd, 2001, 19:10

I am just waiting for my domain to set everything up-so it might take until next week-I don't know. I will be sure to give you my address then.

LeX

You'd better not disappoint us.... ;)

What's with all this delaying? Are you trying to hide something? ;)

ace0

March 4th, 2001, 14:25

NO, and if you keep telling me to tell you, maybe I won't!
I am just trying to see if they really are what they say. And, I can get more visitors if you come to my site to see rather than telling you in this forum. (My site is not up yet)

Canuckkev

March 4th, 2001, 15:19

So....why aren't you telling us the name of the host? I don't get that part.

ace0

March 5th, 2001, 12:12

so more people have to come to my site and look for it-more visitors for me.

oh man, how dumb. quit bull----ting everyone.

March 5th, 2001, 20:44

I have the name of the best FWP in the world too. I cann't remember the link, but it's something like http://clickheretofind.com?id...... When I remember the correct URL, you will all click it, right? I think you have to visit once every 12 hours for 2 years before the free web hosting comes up. But when it does you get:

Unlimited Space
Unlimited Bandwidth
Free Domain Hosting, Registering, Transfering(in and out)
Super Fast Servers
PHP 4, mySQL, CGI, SSI, ASP and any other scripting languages.
Great support!
Oh, and it's completely Ad-Free!

Believe me, when you click the link once every 12 hours for 2 years, you will get this for free!!!;)

I'll exchange links with you know, ace0.

ace0

March 9th, 2001, 16:34

Ok-and do you mean a free domain name, or just free hosting?

Canuckkev

March 9th, 2001, 16:44

I think I know which host he´s talking about ;)

http://www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogo ch.co.uk/

give it a try! the above URL is NO typo and please ignore the long server response, nothing unusual, haha.

Nope, not the one I was talking about.

I know-my domain didn't get registered-emeisp...anyway-it should be up soon. (I hope) My host was also switching servers.

Why not just tell us the server name? And not just the domain?

March 16th, 2001, 22:39

I have seen you guys talking about the hosts that are good with no ads and everything-and that they won't stay up, but answer this-what if it was run by a kid?

March 16th, 2001, 22:44

A kid-who actually charges for some of his services-$200/month!

I have seen you guys talking about the hosts that are good with no ads and everything-and that they won't stay up, but answer this-what if it was run by a kid?

Ok, that may have been sort of useful. But this next post was totally unecessary, just add it to the first post.

A kid-who actually charges for some of his services-$200/month!

This statement was also unecessary.

LeX: Well, don't you read the content of threads? Supermoo clearly stated in the first post of the thread the reason for his being away for such a long time.
