Hi everyone i would like to host audio,video and image files,can anyone give me a suggestion which are the good host for media files,I think i would face storage problem if i host them at astahost.it should be like when i host my site at asta and place my whole site here and host the media file somewhere else.It should be like the users can play the videos on my site but they dont know that it exists on some other host or anywhere else except the site.Any suggestion for a good free host or a cheap one .

I think, all those above mentioned sites, is only for file sharing by uploading them to server and giving download links to user!
Hot linking is not supported in those sites!
The users need to go to the site and wait till the counter reaches 0
and they need to click the download link!

But "richie" is asking for the server, where we can upload files like image, audio or video, wat ever it is, and we can simply embed them in to our websites!
like, <img src="http://remotesite.com/imageurl>

Many of those free file uploading sites wont support direct linking for video or audio files!
Try to use www.tripod.com and upload your files there. they will allow hot linking of media files ( but with some bandwidth limitations )

Many of the free web hosting sites, wont support hot linking of files which is having a size greater than 100 kb or 250 kb etc

uploadingit.com (http://uploadingit.com/ ) allows hotlinking without problem.
I'm not really sure I know what hotlinking is, but they title page says "hotlinking allowed", and they give you the codes to insert into your html pages or the bbcode for your forum.

I received this e-mail some days ago from these guys:

Dear User,

UploadingIT.com needs your help. We have fallen on some hard times. As most of you probably have your self.

Due to the lack of ad clicks by users, yahoo has decided not to continue providing ads for the site. I have added another advertiser onto the site, but the pay out is no where near what yahoo ads were. So due to this we may not be able to continue if we are unable to pay the bills for the month of September. We should be ok if we can make it through September.

We need your help. We are going to have to raise $1500 by the 24th of September, or we may not be able to keep the site up because of us not being able to get enough clicks off ads.

If we could get 1500 of the almost 70,000 registered users to donate just $1 and we would be ok. And if you donate any amount we will give you a extra 5GB of storage space.

For now I have changes somethings to save money, such as a 2GB daily bandwidth limit. If you paid for a upgrade this does not effect you.

To donate go to http://uploadingit.com/donate.php

Any amount helps.

Thank You for your continued support.

If you have any questions reply to this email or go to our forum at http://forum.uploadingit.com/index.php?top...msg3816#msg3816

Thank You for your continued support.

I for one won't be making any donations, from what I can tell by looking at the forums, the guy running this site is pretty abusive towards users.

You can tell whether or not a link is a hot link by right-clicking on it, selecting "Save Target As ..." and looking at the file name it's placing in the subsequent dialog box by default.
Suppose the link is something along the lines of:
http://www.somehostorother.com/dir/subdir/file.pdf
If the name it's trying to save it under is file.pdf, and you download it and you can look at it in Acrobat Reader, that link is a hot link.

The best example of a link that looks deceivingly like a hot link but isn't one is a RapidShare link.
Behind an URL like http://www.rapidshare.com/.../file.pdf there is actually a server side script (probably written in PHP) that makes you jump through several more hoops before finally revealing to you - and redirecting your browser to - the real location of the file.

   This is a site people does not know as it deserves to ! It's simple : You can upload any file

   Simple : at the main page there are 2 small boxes : Chose and Upload ! First you chose wich file you
   want to upload, and then you click upload and it will be uploaded ! After that you will get the
   file's link and a destroy link, wich means that if you want to erase the file, you should clik
   that link ! If another person wants to download your file, you give them the file'...

6. Computing Host - Astahost is great but.... (12)

   Well astahost has been great, so I decided that I would move on to computing host. Well, after going
   through, having the payment come through paypal....my account doesn't exist on computinghosts
   site...so now I paid for hosting but haven't gotten any.... I am somewhat dissappointed by
   this, seeing how astahost provides such great service for free, and yet I pay for computing host
   only to get changed for it and get nothing. I'll see, maybe it just takes them some time for
   their system to process the accounts. But it would be nice if they said something like ...

   I prefer to host them on my own site, so I usually only use free hosting. PHPBB3, or SMF is good.

9. Kingofhosts.com - Excellent Free Web Host - (27)

   For those who need a website that needs at most 5,000 mb; require FTP uploading, PHP & MySQL, and
   especially for no price!, Then you should go to www.KingofHosts.com It's a really good website.
   However, being the fact that it's free, what it doesn't offer (unlike astahost) is
   Fantastico, PHPpgAdmin, and a lot of other free features that Astahost offer. It also has a bottom
   text-ad but that shouldn't be too bad. I recommend this for those who don't want to pay for
   a webhost or for those who can't keep up the activity here in Astahost. This threa...

10. Inexpensive Web Hosting: Hostingbest.com - Best low-priced web host based on experience with the company (2)

    After changing web hosts a couple times I found http://www.hostingbest.com . If you don't mind
    using PHP 4 then they're an excellent host. They use cPanelX, mySQL, Postgresql, AwStats, &
    make managing subdomains easy. Over the last two years of service with them they've had little
    to no downtime and I've always had a fast load time. I found them by emailing a about twenty
    hosts with questions I had about their services and hostingbest responded quickly (same day, I
    think) to my email. I've had consistently good customer service over the last two...

    Hello everyone i just came from MANY hosting sites, and a decent one I found was freecoolsite.com.
    It has very nice easy to use interface with the features of PHP and mySQL, and even phpMyAdmin to
    manage the mysql database. But I found it has its bad points: 1) Has ADS
    2) My rollover buttons doesnt function when it functions at 5 other host sites
    3) When you are using "iframe" the frame used has a ad inside and messes up
    ur html webpage design, cause the frame is messed up... ...

12. Image Shack - Image Hosting - http://www.imageshack.us (17)

    I just felt like mentioning ImageShack, seeing as they're so good! http://www.imageshack.us
    For those of you who haven't seen a service like this before, ImageShack let you upload pictures
    from your computer and host them for you, for an unlimited amount of time, for any reason (except
    for pornography). Even though Astahost provide excellent hosting, it can be a bit tiresome, logging
    in to cPanel and finding (or creating) a folder to host a couple of images. This is why Image Shack
    is so useful - it's quick and effecient. Although thier homepage is a bit c...

13. Miamihost.net: Imagehosting - >Miamihost = ***host (7)

    Miamihost is, undoubtably, the worst image hosting you can find in the world. Here's how it
    works: > You sign up for a free account. They require your email. > You get image hosting. Yes. >
    You check your email. There's spam sent from Miamihost. > You block them from sending you spam.
    Next thing you know, your account vanishes into thin air! And then your images show a picture that
    gives the URL to miamihost. This is so appalling, I can't even find the words to describe their
    despicable, fradulent business! And they are affiliated with ezboard! Bah, great...

14. Superihost, Good Host, But Limited - (4)

    You get 100Mb webspace and 3Gb bandwith, 5 subdomains, 5Mb MySQL. It's a good host, speed is
    good, upload and download. The response time is bit low (but higher then astahost /huh.gif'
    border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='huh.gif' /> ) because of the google ads. It started
    good, there was only a small banner on top, very small, but after a while they suddenly added the
    google ads. The server is also limited. I couldn't get the mail function working (nor php, nor
    sendmail). You can't use .httaccess files (gives a 500 error). It's a good host, ...
