Hey

So i *plan* to make a warez type site, linking to music ftps/game links/movies etc etc, the host i am planning to go with offers 20gb bandwidth month.

Now, all my site will be HOSTING, is the html pages, and the images, now, i cannot say for certain how many images there will be, i suspect, not *that* much, but generally speaking, with just images and html pages being hosted on my server, will 20gb be enough for month?

I know it depends on hits etc etc, but as i say, *generally*.


Thanks

It'll probably be enough. Since your account will be canceled rather rapidly, since no host that I've ever seen will allow it.

Who are the hosting company you are planning to go with?

I have already spoken to the host, this was the reply i got

'As long as you are having only html/images on the server and just
linking to other sites , we do not have any problems at all'

As i said, i won't be HOSTING any illegal files, only html pages and images.

u might want to re read the hosts TOS as many hosts dissallow linking to illegal downloads

As i said, they have already said it is ok...

Well we would like to know of that host, incase you would like to share information we would love to know other wise its Ok...:)

As i say, they have said linking is ok over email

The tech responsible for the reply given to you was confused by your question and has been contacted and corrected.


You may not, under any circumstances, link to any illegal files through our services. Please look elsewhere for illegal hosting.

This clears out the things :D

After reading over those court cases where linking to those files was in fact deemed as breaking the law, no host with an ounce of sense will touch it with a 10 foot pole.

At least no host based in the US and many other countries.

Ditto...

Dixiesys but there are still hosts out there that will host such sites for a very nominal charge... :(

There are hosts out there that will host ANY site for any amount. You can find most of them here (http://webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=32) :D

Well if you get an account and a host doesn't like it then well they won't get your money.
Hosts don't get into trouble for illegal stuff it is the webmaster.

I know. They just say here "Ohhhh am not hosting that" just to keep a good name.

If we really get in touch with reality. There are thousands of warez sites on the net running free. Hosts are just 1 side of the story...:)
