 Topic: Host to just hold images
Posted: 13 August 2003 at 1:18pm |
hey all, i recently got kicked off by iPowerweb.com, which all i did was use them to hold images.. bastards never even gave no warning, just bam.. account turned off
so now i am looking for somewhere to host about 300 megs in images that use up about 15-20 gigs of transfer per month..... i dont need scripting/database/email-server, just FTP access and thats it....
anyone have some good recommendations that won't break my bank account (already paying $240 a month for my web server)
thanks in advance

i'm not looking for free hosting....
i really liked gearhosts price vs space and bandwidth. BUT... reading their usage policy, what i need to do (just simply store jpg files there and link to them from my web server) is not within usage guidelines :(
any other suggestions??

I would call gearhost and ask them, because i don't see where it's not within their usage policy unless the images are unappropriate...

I would give them a call as well as they are usually very good at changing accounts to suit your needs.
Also if you could mention you have been refereed from this site

i pay $240 a month for dedicated hosting... my site is way past the point of no return of being able to be handled within "shared" server resources...
this second needed host is simply to hold images and allieviate bandwidth off the main web server... as said, doesnt matter what OS it is, dont need email, dont need scripting, dont need database access... just FTP, space, and bandwidth..... but its gotta be in the range of 20-25 gigs a month in bandwidth
