I am curious to why you need Unlimited Bandwidth and multi page uploading. Please indulge me.

for serious no host is unlimited ,as they offer free host to you, they will let their host down.
if some one offer a unlimited host all accounts on his server will down quickly:)

ok then, anything with more then 25mb transpher a month. i need multipage uploading so i can upload all the stuff for my site quickly. i usely have huge sites and i cant keep them up on free servers for to long, fortunecity is starting to catch onto my free account /w no ads glitch that i found. i will also be hosting alot of files to download, i have maxed out my space on multipull fortunecity accounts.
this (http://members.fortunecity.com/codeman3/) is just one of my sites for diablo 2, the site is shutdown. i am currently looking for a new host, i got a FREE domain name and they said it had no ads and that it was mine to do what ever with (not from fortunecity) and when i uploaded my site i looked at it and it was redirected to a porn site the first time so i closed it and uploaded some more and then opened it, the damn providers placed ads all over the thing.
as you can see fortunecity has already found the glitch and they said they will make up for lost advertizing, come on now thats a little scary isnt it ?

I don't mean to insult you palmer, but I don't like this mean "i am curious to why you need" line.
If a person asks a question it's better to answer it.
Besides "unlimited bandwidth" and "no ads" these requirements are fairly simple.

codeman, u'll be fine with about 1gig bandwidth a month, and multipage uploading is just being greedy. It takes seconds to upload a webpage, minutes to upload a website. You cheated Fortune City and now they're screwing you. U brought it on yourself.
Ineedahost,

Yeah, what question did you answer? Oh thats right, you're just trying to bash me. I think they have a name for you....ah yes.. hypocrite. No ads and unlimited bandwidth are not simple for a free host. Read up on it.
Unless someone is streaming high-quality video or audio to a large traffic audience, no one on this forum needs more that 2 gigs TOPS of bandwidth a month.
laaaaaaaate.

No ads and 'unlimted bandwidth' are not simple requirements.
People these days are confused as to what it means, and it saddens me to think that a majortiy of the youth doesn't read. Half of the freee users we host, are under the age of 18, and can't follow simple directions. The thing is - some of these providers that offer these 'unlimited' hosting stuff are kids themself.
So to answer your question codeman5454, you will never find the host you need with those requirements. You will keep looking for weeks and months. When you find one, after a while they will end up going out of business.
You have to understand things from a hosts point of view. We are giving you service for free, what do we get in return?
Your asking them to get back nothing in return. Think about that..just for one second. Maybe a little more than sec. :)
Bottom line is, use common sence. Do you really think such as thing as 'unlmited' exists? As someone said in this post 'read up on it', that is, if you can :p

Besides the fact your topic was kinda irrelevant, your attitude..
Well anyway, i can't explain myself why would you need a "fast and so on" web-hosting when you just need a 25MB bandwith...?
But i suppose i won't get any answers. Too bad. You amused me :classic2:

Thanks for the backup my fellow hosts :D
As for codeman. Seriously, this forum is a great place to find good hosting, its just sometimes a little much to have some inexperianced hotshot come in here barking silly requests.

Case in point. As most who have ever uploaded a coded webpage through ftp, it doesn't take long at all. Seconds. I thought i'd be generous and give codeman 5 seconds per page. I did the math and, damndest thing, it would only take you 23 minutes to upload your website. Weeks huh...i think you missed a decimal point somewhere.:rolleyes:
Or if you're especially gifted, put the entire site in a folder and upload the folder, and the ftp will transfer all the files inside automatically, so all you have to do is make your self a sandwich and watch an episode of Seinfeld. (shameless plug). Just use your head.
