HI GUYS.

I WANT TO OPEN A WEB SITE FOCUSED MAINLY ON VIDEOS.

I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY!!!

THE SIZE WOULD BE AROUND 200 G.B(S IT IS 200 G.B.)

CAN U GIVE ME THE LINKS OF THE WEB SITE THAT PROVIDES FREE WEB SITE HOSTING WITHOUT ANY ADS? LIKE WWW.FSPHOST.COM

I WOULD LIKE IF THEY CAN GIVE ME MORE STORAGE PER USER ACCOUNT AS I KNOW I WOULD HAVE TO OPEN MULTIPLE USER ACCOUNTS.

I DON'T NEED ANY ONLINE STORAGE LINKS AS I COULD NOT GIVE THE DOWNLOAD LINKS ON THE WEB SITE/

Are you crazy ? :shock: 200GB

What you have to understand here......WebHosts are not Bill Gates and not here to serve you .....but to make money.

Who would be a fool to give 200GB of his server resources for free and that too.... NO ADS!

Grow up "dude" :))

PS: Dont write in CAPS, it is equal to Shouting :p

U cant this much space for free......20 Gb.
If U have so big plan..hw can U trusT on a free hosting.Free hosting is never reliable.They can shut down anytime.

I will suggest you to go for a paid hosting.Unless forget this.

A video based site can never survive on shared hosting. You either need a VPS or Dedicated server. Prepare to spend otherwise drop your ideas.

The thing which you want will cost around $400 per month, if you find someone giving it free, do tell me. 200GB space for video hosting means many TB bandwidth.

Prepare to spend a lot for that amount of space and b/w. And yes a dedicated ip is must for that.

Though I do agree that there are no unlimited hosting offers out there, the barrier is not the fact that hard drives cannot be of unlimited size. You can easily span the website data across as many hard drives as you want. :)

Eh better option is to use Youtube. Or get someone to sponsor or partner with you for your site. He can spend money and you will work on site for him. This way you can share the revenue.

No, you can add as many hard drives as you want. So, that way, you can keep going forever... :)

You can span a website across as many computers as you want. More computers = more motherboards = more hard drives.
If it wasn't possible to have unlimited storage, Google, the iTunes Store, the Microsoft website, Yahoo!, etc. would never have been possible. :)

Just my 2 cents.

There are thousands of free service providers who are willing to give you space. So signup for as many free accounts as you need. Most of them will not allow hotlinking. So you will have to also keep pages at each place that links to the video in that free account. :))

This could be a very cumbersome setup, very difficult to manage. But you won't spend for hosting. Of course you will spend quite a bit on net connection and electricity in managing this :p
