    Default File Hosting servers

    Does anyone have a link to a useful and free file hosting server that supports WMA and MP3? File Lodge is down for me and 1asp wont support these formats either.

    If you don't need a lot of space (15-20 megs) you can always host the files on a free account/web space with someone like Geocities.

    Max space. I have a free account with Geocities right now that I use to upload pictures to link to at places like this, but you can upload and link to just about any file type there. The only down side is that I only get 15 megs of space. But hey, it's free.

    Yeah but I usually use these servers for MP3s to embed in my website and forum.

    Nooooooo. Please, for the love of all that is holy, don't embed MP3s in any webpages.

    If you need file hosting, there are likely a number of free sites available. If you want lots of good bandwidth all to yourself, it may be worth paying a little bit each month for a shared hosting account somewhere, or find someone with a lot of extra bandwidth to loan you some space.

    I Lawled. Anyways, I agree with this. Never embed music into a website, unless it is specifically implied that the site you are linking to (before you load the page) that music or sound is needed.

    Also, you can get hosting for 5 dollars a month pretty much anywhwere. Read the agreements though. Many hold you liable (as they should) for any copyright infrigment held up on thier servers.

    I didn't even catch what he was implying when I responsed earlier. xD

    Yeah, like Samuraid and bipper have said, embedding mp3's is pure evil.

    It's better than embedding WAVE files at least.
