aMnesiac January 4, 2008 Share aMnesiac Member January 4, 2008 (edited) I was looking at the review sites for FTP hosting and they all seem to be reviewed by the hosting company in question, maybe I'm just not looking at the right place though. At any rate, my friend and I are working on music and we use a lot of samples. We want an easy way to share them with each other without having to put them on an external drive that would be traded back and forth. This way we can just upload a sample and then grab it off the FTP and go. Does anyone know of any good FTP hosts that aren't really expensive? Thanks in advance.

ZeroDamage January 4, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member January 4, 2008 Register a domain at godaddy.com and they give you a ton of space and bandwidth each month for free. You can use that and it will only cost you like 9 bucks a year. Use coupon code DIGG for 10% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie January 4, 2008 Share mookie GC Alumni January 4, 2008 If you PM me I'll make an FTP user on my web hosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aMnesiac January 4, 2008 Author Share aMnesiac Member January 4, 2008 Thanks for the replies everyone. I read some reviews at webhostingjusry.com and SJ told me about the hosting service he uses. I think I'm going to go with his suggestion, they got decent reviews and that way if there are ever any problems with the service I can get it resolved without having to bother anyone else.

stutters January 5, 2008 Share stutters GC Alumni January 5, 2008 oh you poor soul, primus. i was a 1&1 customer for 3 months--only because it took me that long to cancel. btw, with dreamhost, you can host as many sites as you want from 1 account. i have 3 domains and 9 subdomains on one account. let me know when you want a coupon code and help transferring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage January 5, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member January 5, 2008 dreamhost requires setup fee = bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters January 5, 2008 Share stutters GC Alumni January 5, 2008 only if you sign up for the month term. If you decide - within the first 97 days of your time with us - that DreamHost isn't for you, we will gladly close your account and refund any payments you've made to us within those first 97 days. i know there are cheaper hosting options available, but for the money, this has been the best i've found. great cpanel, insane quotas, and single-contact support.

akaM2 January 5, 2008 Share akaM2 Member January 5, 2008 When I signed up for dreamhost I had a $97 off a yearly plan coupon. So 119-97=22/12 $1.80cents a month for 243gb of storage (grows 2gb more each week) and new users signing up today start at 500gb 4800gb of bandwitch (grows 40 gigs each week) unlimited domains/mysql/basically everything I cant complain, couldnt be happier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage January 16, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member January 16, 2008 Try using that much space and see if they let you. I guarantee you that if you used 500 gb of space and all the bandwidth allotted you that you would no longer be welcome there. That is the world of shared web hosting. With that said, I signed up with dreamhost recently and avoided the billing snafu today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie January 16, 2008 Share mookie GC Alumni January 16, 2008 Yeah it was a little weird getting an e·mail saying my payment was past due since late November 2008. The bandwidth quota DreamHost gives is only about double what GoDaddy is offering for $15/mo. Not really that far out there, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroDamage January 16, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member January 16, 2008 It's the way the shared web hosting business works. They tell you that you have all this massive amount of space and bandwidth which is mostly a marketing tool. Most shared web hosting providers could not support everyone using the max but expect most will use very little of the space. So the very few who actually use the full bandwidth and space each month are not impacted or impacting anyone else. If the server you are on ends up being over sold and maxed out and there are users on there hitting their ridiculous quotas every month, they will be "asked" to move to a VPS or dedicated hosting. Seen that happen so many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
