File hosting providers

[sherwood]

I was just aware that some files I stored in Ziddu were deleted. I remember one point in their terms that they will delete any file which is not downloaded for more than 30 days (or 60 days?). Is there any other file hosting provider which allows you to keep files in the server without such a limitation?

You may check HotFile and ShareCash. Not sure about the rules though :smash:

OR U buy a Personal Files Storage ! 2GB HDD for 4$ ! Keep ur files forever!

You can try rapidshare or megafileupload. They have 90 days time.

Its better to use private file sharing accounts , or remote backups,
like webbycart , sugarsync , rsync etc which have no such limitations to your file.

I would personally just get some affordable hosting or a lowend VPS to store on, that way you can keep things there for as long as you wish

Agree with you there Paul but also you can store files either on RackspaceCloud or Amazon S3 for pennies a month too.

To preserve your files you have to buy your personal storage.

There may be any some reason behind this delete. There could be a copyright claim or some thing like that.

But that's what you get in free. Can be deleted any time, no reason, no contact.

I mainly use:
http://www.filefactory.com/

for this sort of stuff. Not really sure if they delete files if there was no downloads in a period of time.

try using windows online storage via msn

 

[expertwebhost]

If you are storing smaller(<200mb) files, you can try mediafire too. They don't have any such restrictions for file deletion.

Its really better to use your private server.... I think you must have space that is require for you

 

[SimplyShared]

A vps, or service such as drop box might be better than rapidshare. At least they're easier to manage (in my opinion at least)

 

[MeteorPages]

People seem to be migrating from Rapdishare to Filesonic.

You can try sourceanywhere hosted. But not free.

 

[ServerSea]

File hosting should not be used as a free service as no site will give you security of your files in free solution.

 

[sam_basshost]

hotfile is my favorite.

They are fast and reliable and don't spam you with ads.

 

[hostloc]

An affordable vps is the best choice for file storage purpose.

There's no such service you can fully rely on. Buy your own personal storage or at least a VPS/dedicated server.
