    100 Mb (or more),FTP, unlimited bandwith?

    I really need a hosting to host a HUGE photo gallery...

    I need:

    -at least 100 Mb (more would be even better)
    -unlimited bandwidth
    -FTP access
    -banners and pop-ups do not matter-I don't mind even if there are thousands of them
    -if that's possible-the site should be in English...but oh, OK-it doesn't matter

    Anyone can help?

    Problems with your request:

    a) Almost no host will allow storage of so many images. Any one of them will kill your site immediately if they find out that you are abusing their offer and hosting a "HUGE photo gallery" as you claim.

    b) If you're hoping to use this host as file storage, using the images on a different server, think again. Hotlinking is illegal. I apologize if I am on the wrong trail here, but because you don't mind "thousands" of pop-ups, I'm guessing that you aren't actually going to actually use the space for HTML pages.

    c) "Unlimited" bandwidth does not exist. First, the word is "data transfer", not "bandwidth". Next, "unlimited" does not exist. Please give us a specific number of MB or GB that you are looking for.

    d) Very few hosts offer 100 MB or more. The ones that do often have very strict limits imposed. Some do not offer FTP, and I don't think there is any that allows file storage...

    I don't think a host exists to fulfill your demands.

    The problem with most hosts today is that they don't look at your actual site content. They just look at the statistics. If it says that you have 1000 images and 5 HTML pages, they're going to delete it for sure. Even if those 5 HTML pages are perfectly valid and have great content and the 1000 images are small in size, they won't know that without looking at your site.

    Ugh... that's the problem I didn't think about... Thanks a lot for letting me know. Coz it would be even worse if I would upload my site somewhere, and then it would get deleted Thanks

    Uh, no.

    Maybe a terms of service violation, but not illegal.

    just change your one big gallery into 5 or 6 smaller galleries and open a few accounts on a free webhost.
