questions.....

[anata]

Hi! i'm pretty new with web hosting things, so could someone explain these to me please:
1. what is hot linking?
2. what is remote-loading?

i know that these are simple questions, but i don't understand. i guess i have to know the answers for above questions before i look for free web host since i don't want them to delete my files.

thnx in advance for explaining these things.

Those are pretty much the same thing. That is where you have some files on one host, and link to them from another host. That is bad because it steals bandwith from the host, with out displaying any advertisments.

As far as i know, no good freehost allows hot linking to them...

i have another question.
so, hotlinking is bad for the host where we put our files (hots#1), or bad for the host that has the links to those files (host#2)?

thnx

hotlinking is bad for the host where you store the files
