ashiezai is right. Once you get a hosting account, you are free to provide downloads provided that the content is legal.

Not really. It's free hosting, and to the best of my knowledge, free normally means you don't have to pay tongue.gif .

Yes. You can host any content for download if you have the entire copyright to it.

But, like ashiezai said, be careful about your bandwidth. Downloads of large files take up lots of bandwidth. Make sure you have the second hosting package before you host anything for download.

Even though it is in accordance with Astahost rules, OpaQue still looks down on people who offer downloads on their sites. It takes up plenty of bandwidth, which really belongs to Astahost. So, keep it reasonable.

Well every site uses up bandwith. Like a webesite my take up 1.2 mb to load while a download fiel takes up 20KB. Even thought the hosting is free, if you run out of bandwith your site will go into suspended mode. You would only be abel to use your account after your monthly term restarts or if you make some kind of agreement with AstaHost.

Everything is allowed as long as it's ok with the TOS i gues.
