Posted by Tony Morello on Aug-03-2001 04:50:

there may be a lot of free web hosting out there... but only a handful allow remote loading (when you link to the pic)

I used yahoo and found batcave.net and that worked fine...that's how my sig is up. I guess I got lucky b/c it was the first site I registered for. Maybe not so well known sites will let you link to pics b/c not too many peeps use em for that. Brinkster prolly finally caught on that peeps were using them as a place to host pics and linking them to somewhere else and I guess they feel that is not what their free service is for. beats the hell out of me why they would care. but anywho brinkster was good before...I think that if too many peeps just use any free web hosting service as just plain pic hosting then the site is bound to pull a "brinkster".

note: i posted this stuff allready, i know. but this thread is looked at more.

Ok i've found a list of potential free hosts for remote-loading sigs/pics...

http://login.ezboard.com/fezboardfr...opicID=28.topic

I can't confirm ANY of those... so just read thier TOSs & see for yourself.

ALSO... if you have an ISP such as @Home, Road Runner, or AOL- those service providers all give you webspace with your internet account (that allow remote linking)! The ISP you use may offer free webspace to it's customers, so check with them. If they do, chances are very high that the webspace also allows remote-linking.

my sig itself is on my @home webspace!

If you dont, i think the other working freehosts that others are using around here will work fine (batcave, multimania, homestead)

Remote linking costs free ISPs a helluva lot more than you guys think. Depending on the amount of times you post around here (and how much it's viewed), your sig uses as much as 150+ MB of bandwidth permonth for each sig. Multiply that by the amount of people who remote link a server.. that equals alotta bandwidth wasted b/c of remote linking!!

Posted by Tony Morello on Aug-03-2001 18:20:

i'm also looking for a place to host my webpage
tripod only gives me 50mb of space, and i've used almost all of it
after the cystral method pics and vids went up (http://dj_shockwav.tripod.com) i think i only have about 4mb left
i think i'm going to need a 100mb webhoster

Posted by Spad on Aug-03-2001 18:23:

If anybody needs me to host their sigs just drop me an email, I got some space with my ISP so it's perminant.
