I need cheap or even free hosting with a high amount of storage. Need to upload about 15 GB of files to make available for downloading. If multiple websites is an option, that would be great to. I have been sitting on 6 different projects, all ready to start generating revenue and have been stuck because of $$ for design and hosting. So, if i can at least get the hosting, i can throw a generic looking page together and try and sell some downloadable media and throw a couple affiliate banners up or something.

I have been trying to avoid doing that, but figure hosting is cheaper than a designer, so I have caved and am going that route. I am staying away from the big hosting companies, so if you know a good host, let me know please.

How much traffic are you expecting to get and what is your budget?
There is/or was(not sure) a 1 penny (0.01$) event by Hostgator. Which provided you 1 year worth of hosting for 1 penny. However you would need to enlongen the contract for another year, prices than range from 10-30$

It would be cheaper if you find someone who got/won some coupon. Sometimes they are selling it here and it usually costs around 10dollars for year with good service, but after that year you must start with paying normal tax.

The search result for https://mega.nz/ says "Claim your free 50GB now!"

https://sites.google.com for everything else.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

If you have an older/upgraded Dropbox account, it could do the trick. Or more dropbox account and 2-3GB archives...
Or you can search for another cloud storage.

I know that Dropbox and Tresorit offer the option to share links to files or folders and this should solve the storage issue.
But the default free accounts are rather small....

I think that Google Drive has 15GB for start, but I don't know if they offer "link" feature.
However, you could research a little on this direction...

Thanks for all the advice...

I am currently with Hostgator for one website, but am not renewing. I am not happy with them at all.

I am filling my Drive up now... not sure how much she will hold before I max out, but you can link.. I have several Gmail accounts, so I may do it that way.

I see the "get your free 50GB" ads all over, but there is always a catch to them...

One.com has a good deal going. Absolutely free domain registration and one year of hosting, then renew at higher rates. I signed up there with my herbal supplement domain name, but may have to use that for now too since I don't have the herbal site built yet. And of course, I cant get another free deal like that through them. Although I may try to sign-up in my girlfriends name to get the deal. Works for getting multiple .99cent domains from Godaddy.... so who knows..

This is clearly a situation in which I did not think things all the way through. I spent weeks getting all of my paperowkr filed, obtaining licenses, submitting documents, for wholesale accounts, registering domains, setting up merchant accounts and getting it all approved and verified. But never took design/hosting costs into consideration. So, now I am able to function fully as an online retailer and have nowhere to set-up shop and no way to build the shop, even if I had the spot.

Learned my lesson!

In fact, I am in my cp at one.com now and I get 3gb extra space for referring people... so if anyone wants a domain, hosting and like 18 GB storage; PM me for the link or the non-referral link is http://one.com
