Tayoni Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 (sorry if this is the wrong sort of question for this particular forum. If I've done something wrong, I'll provide you with a rubber chicken and you can smack me with it...once...gently...) I already know about photobucket and imageshack. They're not what I'm looking for. I've looked all over for a similar question/discussion and don't see any. I'm wondering what you all would recommend for a good cheap web hosting/ free web space site so I can put all my files in one place, rather than have music codes over there, and images over there and that file over there... I've had a couple different ones but they are so full of malware and inapropriate (really, very :x innapropriate) forced adds that I'm not willing to just go try anything now without a recommendation from someone.

Simon Brown Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Does it need to allow direct linking? A service that AFAIK hosts all types of files is DropBox, which comes with a public folder which anyone can access if you give them the address. It may be intended to be installed but you can still access your files and upload new ones online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayoni Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Have you tried GooglePages? *scratches head* Umm...GooglePages? No, I've never even heard of that, but I will look into it. Does it need to allow direct linking? Now, this is a new term to me. It means basically that I or someone else could take the URL of a picture file and put the URL say on here or another website, and the picture would show up where the link was pasted, and that would be a direct link? If my thick skull didn't filter too much of that, then Yes, I need direct linking. Shall I check out this AFAIK too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yes, directly linking to or embedding something. I'd highly suggest testing the option I recommended earlier, as they allow this and their service comes with 2GB space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayoni Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 can you link me to AFAIK? I found a couple of different ones through google that are computer stuffs places so not sure which one you're recommending. They sound pretty good and I want to try it. I also want to try something, since i'm here, and just testing...wanna see how this goes... Edit: this host is awful and is why I'm looking for a reference to something better.

david.atwell Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 When Simon said "AFAIK," he wasn't referring to a hosting site - he was referring to the acronym "As Far As I Know." :-) Sorry to get your hopes up.

Pixey Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi Tayoni - I have used a free website called http://www.zoomshare.com for a few years now and can save images, and url's, for work here on Paint.net with no problems. You will, however, first have to learn to navigate the 'webpage editor', which is a bit tricky to start with but it's fun if you enjoy working with computers.

Hi Tayoni - I have used a free website called http://www.zoomshare.com for a few years hello *waves* yes, I'll try out that place! tricky menus won't much bother me. I know I'll get used to them. How does this place do at storing music files? The one I use now shrinks my images down to 1/2 size and you cannot link music files at all.

Bob Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Have you tried GooglePages? FYI Google is shutting down this service. Google Page Creator is no longer accepting new sign-ups. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
