Web host needed

[Umari]

I need a free web host that:
- allows hot linking of images
- allows files more than 1 meg to be uploaded
- 5mb or more space
- allows the use of FTP

four very simple requests, I can put up with any type of ad and any amount of space above 5mb.

Well, 1 MB file size limit is too hard to find. If you take that out .. you can use www.netfirms.com

and the hotlinking, since netfirms frowns upon that.

Hi there, I may be able to help you - just check out the hosting page on my website. if this package suits you, email me.

Before I do host you I would need to know the meaning of hotlinking images. I will then see from there.

i've used this host for a short amount of time, and the server has'nt been down. I've used it for hotlinked images. It works fine. Some flaws are that they dont support scripting, and the address is'nt very short. Check them out. http://www.nipltd.net/Free
your url would be: http://freezope.nipltd.net/myaccount

If they don't like it, why don't they just disable it?

I came across a free host earlier this week that had: "we do not allow hotlinking" in their terms but in their FAQ they said the same but added: "we did not disable hotlinking but if a hotlinked image is viewed more then 60 times a day we'll change the name to filename_nohotlinking.jpg". I thought it was a pretty smart (and considerate) idea
Back on topic... netfirms might have a similar sentiment. Maybe they allow it as long as it doesn't get excessive, but when it does they can terminate the account because it's in their terms you're not supposed to do it. That way they're safe and have an extra 'feature'
