Im asking this question for a friend. He already has a website, but now he wants a place where he can get a decent amount of disk storage, like atleast 50 megs, to just store his online videos. Since alot of people will be watching them, it would be nice to have a host with unlimited bandwidth or a good amount of it. Any ideas? I would appreciate it if you could list the name of the host and their plan, thank you!

Yes, it would be nice, wouldn't it?

The reality is that your buddy is going to have to be prepared to pay for the bandwidth and transfer he uses, so if he's willing to do that, then there is a solution for him. If this is one of those, "But he doesn't make any money off it, blah blah blah..." things, then he'll find that he'll be able to serve a certain amount and then the site will 404 if it gets popular.

You might want to check Stinkdot.org (http://www.stinkdot.org) for 100 megs of free space or 250 for paid space. Also may I quote the line from their website regarding the bandwidth. We give you enough space to host an online family album with over 2500 high quality photos, and the speed and reliability to serve your site across the world.

I guess it's a new free web provider since there're only 10 sign-ups. Your friend should have no problem with the bandwidth since there're only 10 sites hosted by them.

I know that there is really no such thing as "unlimited bandwidth", but I do know that some companys DO advertise this. Like I siad, It would be jsut for storing videos, he already ahs a main website, but he doesnt have alot of disk space. Thanx for the stinkdot link, they look pretty good, but for some reason I cant register. Anyone else have any more suggestions?
