I published a large file host list last month and good lots of positive and some negative feedback concerning the list. The list contained a lot of sites that allow users to upload free files to their website and share it with others. A negative aspect was that it only featured a few categories that were not that useful to find a host that suited special needs.
Therefor, I decided to compile a new list with more information available at first glance. Information besides the site name consist of the following variables.
It took me about 6 hours to compile the list, its divided into file hosts with and without registrations and image hosts with and without registrations. If you have additions let me know and I add them in the january list.
Recommended File Host:
Recommended Image Host:
Reg: Does the site require a registration before you can use their services ? Registration means free registration of course.
Filesize: Is there a maximum size for a single file, in Mb ? No res = no restrictions
Space: How much diskspace is allocated for the user ? If there is no registration the max filesize has been taken as max space allowed. No res = no restrictions
Bandwidth: Are there bandwidth limitations ?
Filetypes: Are certain filetypes not allowed to be uploaded ?
Hotlinking: Does the site allow hotlinking ?
Expires: Are the files auto-deleted after a time, if yes the number of days are shown. If the number is unknown yes will be shown. Sometimes files only get deleted after inactivity for a certain time, if thats the case a “i” is added to the number. Sometimes file get deleted after a certain number of downloads, if thats the case a “d” is added to the number.

Skickafilen.se is free without registration, and keeps the file for 7 days or until downloaded. There is no restriction on bandwith or file types. Hotlinking is not provided.
And here is the link: http://skickafilen.se.

software client
i have an account on rapidshare,but the problem is, that rapidhare deletes my uploads because they are porno files.With the use of rapidshare i haven’t paid none cent about 4 months because i have this advantage:”Upload your files in your Premium-Zone, and you will get points for downloads of your files. You can then convert your collected points to free premium-accounts. (Check “Convert points” in your premium-zone.) You can also extend your own premium-account for free. You will get one point per download if the downloader is a free-user AND your file is bigger than 1 MB AND the downloader has generated less than 5 points in the last hour.”
Do you know if there is another server with this advantage?
Free file host:
-maximum of 10mb file size
-10gb of transfer
-limited to: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, txt, exe, zip, rar
-500mb of space.
