Hey,

I have been making crap websites 4 the last few years but now have to do a proper 1 for my university work.

I have Dreamweaver MX and using flash. whats the best site for hosting this page. its educational and probably 10-50 mb
??

What a misleading title! :angry:

Depends.. Are you okay with advertising on the site? pop-ups? pop-unders? or do you want it to completely ad free?

And I agree on the title, Very Misleading... a better one would have been *In Search of Flash* (Flash, Flash.. I love You.. but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth...)


Gordon`s Alive?????

um dont mind ads but would prefer not to as its uni, but i just found out that they wont host it... ****ers

Haven`t tried them myself but : http://web1000.com/

Are offering 50Mb with No Ads, any they claim to be happy to host the kind of thing you have in mind, so give them a try, but remember, the WHT mantra... You get what you pay for :D

thanks for the hint, its looking like i ll probably have to pay. ive got a lovely website and dont want downgrade it to fit a host.

so if i was going to pay then who would you recommend??:)

Stinge,

I would recommend posting a request in the Web Hosting Requests forum and reviewing some of the hosting directories like tophosts.com

Good luck.

I`d haveto recommend http://www.dot5hosting.com

Been hosted with them for a while, they`ve always given top notch hosting with excellent support.

sry 2 sound ignorant but is it cool with flash buttons and detailed jpg backgrounds??

A flash site is not lovely, in fact, I have my browser prompt me before loading it, so I can opt out. If the site does not have a non flash version, I leave.
While I do agree you should not have to downgrade your site to suit your host, but I do not see non-flash as a downgrade, so please don't say downgrade, just say you want flash.
. . and you shall have it too. Most hosts have it installed.
Good luck!

btw, I do load some flash movie clips ect, just not entire sites done in it.

The file format for Flash sites, intros, etc., is a common MIME type. It does not require anything additional or special to host flash sites on a web server. There's nothing to install.

"We host Flash sites" is just a marketing tactic. It's about as meaningful as saying "We host HTML sites".

Darn it, I knew "installed" was the wrong word!
Thanks for clarifying, I hate to tell people the wrong thing :D

Thats what I get for being on the phone (read: HOLD) while surfing and posting ect.
