i'm in a little group where we are fans of kid singers i want a site to store my video files so the members in my group can download them for free but the video files are huge each one is at least 600mg i just want a simple site where only video files are listed for download so what type of site should i purchase? and i want something like 10 to 20 gb of storage how much will that cost? thanks for your help

You may want to think about a VPS (virtual private server) As this would give you the space you need. I seen one somewhere offered for $49 a month. Maybe someone will post the link here as well.

10 to 20 GB of storage? Most of the JUMBO BUDGET HOSTS (******, LunarPages, IPowerWeb) offer about 1 to 3 Gigs of Storage. For 10 to 20 Gigs, you may have to look to something besides shared web hosting.

thanks sandee29 YungCEO for sum advice. I have absolutely no idea about any of this. Thanks for your help. $49 a month is a monthly thing rite, you don't have to be obligated with that offer for a yr rite? thanks

i'm just trying to be nice the members in my group are 10-15 yr old girls and they don't have any videos the ones they have are small and crappy quality i have a ton of big quality videos and it would make them so happy if they had them that's why i'm encouraging my mother to spend sum money for these nice girls my brother set up a ftp site for me just a week ago where i had 26 gb of storage n my hardrive and where i store about 70 video files but then just a few days later i told my other brother about my new ftp site and he told me to shut it down immediately cuz it wasn't safe he has some credibility cuz he's an network engineers and is familiar with network security so now i'm looking at another option

Yup... a VPS or a semidedicated would be the most affordable solution. It's not cheap, but you do need a lot of space...

thanks again sandee29 for going thru trouble of finding url &ldcdc 4 some advice appreciate every1's help take care

thanks for the link again sandee29 my mom got that deal but we had no idea about any of that technical stuff that was listed under package specifications & customer service was off work do you or anyone know what they mean by 200 gb monthly transfer
and it will be a static ip rite? that comes with the deal and i don't have to pay for one rite? & the ppl who download can't find out our ip address because we're protected from that rite? i use this program called winRAR and nearly reduced each video file from like 900mg to 500mg but can i upload winRAR files for my group members to download or do i have to upload the original much larger file? i'm sry it's alot of questions but my mom and i are computer illiterate so we really appreciate ppl who have helped us already and hope more nice ppl will help us. thanks
