This isn't for me, but I was emailed a message to post on the boards for a package request (due to not being able to post to the forums) . Please list offers here.

Hello,
I'm a WebTV (http://www.webtv.com/products/plus/specs.html) user looking for a pay host for a small personal site. WebTV users cannot download or upload files. WebTV users are able to copy files from one host to another.

In summary, I'm looking for:

10 MB of disk storage space
5 GB/mo. data transfer
domain hosting
web-based file manager
file "mover"
CGI and SSI support
costs of about $60 per year

The host should have a web-based file manager, similar to the ones offered by:

Angelfire
Geocities
Tripod

The web-based file manager should not be one we would have install ourselves (most WebTV users wouldn't know how) as the ones found at:

Gossamer (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/fileman/manage.cgi)
FileMgr (http://www.speakeasy.org/~cgires/sitemgr/)
Genesis (http://www.xav.com/scripts/genesis/index.html)
CGI Resources (http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/File_Management/)

The host should provide a means for the transferring of files from the current host to the new host, similar to the following on-line services:

The Freeloader (http://domania.net/freeload/)
The Transloader (http://www.transloader.com/)
Cap'n'Fila (http://capnfila.com/Scripts/FTS/)

As some know, WebTV users like to include images in e-mail signatures. The host should allow hot linking. Understandably, all the major "free" hosts mentioned above are no longer allowing hot linking to images because it uses their bandwidth without the viewer seeing their ads.

So far, I know of two pay hosts that are WebTV "friendly."

Domania (http://domania.net/)
WTV-Zone (http://wtv-zone.com/)

I wonder if these are the only options we have without having to purchase a computer.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Although our plans are abit higher, we do offer that special 10mb/95.00 year?...It comes with less features as the regular accounts. ALL accounts receive the control panel though and even these smaller accounts come with the basics.
The control panel does have a built in file manager.
Upload, create and delete files right in the file manager.
You can have the web tv user email me, if they would like more specifics?

I will host him for $85 per year and include all he wants. Have him contact me at support@sipernet.com if he is interested. :D

U.S. public libraries have internet access. very handy for checking email while traveling without a laptop.

to manage your website, all you need is a host with a web based file manager, since I doubt the libraries would have FTP available. this (library PC)arrangement might be ok for sites that don't require frequent changes.

I've emailed him the thread, thank you all for responding.

Also note (at least one host seemed confused), this is *not* for me personally.
