Need new hosting for DWI/SM background script site.

Cyan Garamonde (Nosaj)

Ok, the Search function's being stupid for whatever reason, so please forgive me or just lock this if there's already a thread about this. I'm trying to find free web hosting that would work for hosting the DWI/SM background changes site (the site linked to in my sig). Ollec's been gracious enough to host this for some time, since before I joined the project; however I believe he'll only be able to host it for another couple of months before he moves off to college, and I don't know if he'll be able to host it after that.

I've tried Googling for free hosting, but I keep running into one problem or another whenever I check out a host: not enough space, disallowed file types (can't imagine why), etc. Hell, some of them won't even allow zip or txt files....

There's currently about 800MB of individual movie files on the site, although I intend to trim this down by getting rid of duplicate movies and changing appropriate scripts and whatnot. There needs to be room for future movies that have yet to be ripped, plus all of the dwi/sm files and scripts; not going to bother with images--this is going to be a straightforward, strictly functional site. So I guess I'm looking for, say, a gig of available space. FTP access is desired.

If anyone knows of a host that would meet the site's needs, or if you've got some free webspace lying around and are interested in hosting the site yourself, send me a PM. I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give me. I don't want to see the whole bgscript project die due to lack of hosting.

Shouldn't this go in the DDR Simulators board?

Since there shouldn't be DDR talk in RC, we move here.

Nosaj, on a friend's sn: Sorry. I'd have put it here, except that it's more a question of hosting than anything in particular about DDR. Plus this forum's not exactly known for being an abundance of knowledge...

As a side note, is Ollec's server up right now?
It's not loading for me, and I was wondering if it was just my damned 56k connection.

It's not always up, so if it doesn't load for you, wait and try again later.

Meh, ollec's going to look into paid hosting once he gets to college, so the site'll probably just be down for a few months, so I'm not going to worry about finding another place to host it. Not enough people really seem to care, anyway.

LOQ please.
