I run a Nintendo emulation site, and I am getting really tired of my site's host. The popups are intrusive, and the server is extremely erratic.
As you may or may not know, emulation is technically illegal, or can be. Since my site offers games copywrighted by Nintendo in file form, in order for a visitor to my site to download one of these files, they must already own the console version of the game they want to download, or they are violating copywright law. All this and more are covered in my site's disclaimer, before access to the files is given.
So basically I am looking for a host that either is pretty much indifferent to your page's content (they have a disclaimer of their own, something like "we are not responsible for the content of our member's pages"), or are known to be ok with emulation. The last thing I want is to get everything set up, and then one day find out my site has been yanked from the system.
Most of the files on my site are hosted on a remote server, but I am hoping to find a host that allows at least 85 megs. Also because of the frames on my site, among other things, I am looking for a host that has their banner, button, text link, or whatever, in the footer of the HTML pages. I really don't want a site with popups if I can help it, but I'll take what I can get. Also it must have FTP access.
Any suggestions? I would really appreciate some input on this one.
Thanks
