First of all this is not a marketing gimmick, nor an advertorial.
Just a little tech entry on my part.
I’ve been using a free file hosting service MediaFire for a year plus and I’m so delighted at its performance that I’ve upgraded to a paid account.
You might be asking having my own server, why the need for another one. Well after years being a webmaster online, I learned that common web servers out there that provide hosting is not for those who have portals that provides high-traffic file downloads.
Common web servers are great for webpages and images, but not for file types such as downloads. That my friend you’ll need a ‘dedicated’ file server.
The thing is, once you’ve exceeded the server load on such shared hosting account, they will suspend you account without notice. And usually its such file downloads that’s the culprit behind many of the high server CPU loads.
So read the fine-print people, as such suspension will cost you money and time lost.
Thus my choice in MediaFire after being served suspension once or twice. MediaFire doesn’t have many restriction even under the Free account, but being limited only to 100MB for non-Pro account, I would like to further utilise the service by having a paid account. My file limit is now 10GB per file and I also have unlimited storage time.
The thing I like about the service is its responsiveness. It doesn’t lags, it doesn’t have any queues or download waiting time for each file request, and its unlike free file hosting services such as RapidShare which always ‘bugs’ you with blaring ads for you to sign up with them.
In total my gaming site has Gigabytes being transferred daily, and so far my MediaFire Pro account serves that and more. I’ve some 100,000MB of bandwidth to play around with … I’m happy with glee macam orang menggali now :p
In fact I didn’t mind parting US$59 for one year full payment. I think of it as a good investment. I truly recommend it to all. Try out the free service to see it for yourself, and to find out what the hell am I raving about.
MediaFire oh No No.. One think because they prohibited my RAR embed with password upload on their server. For me Rapidshare is the best file hosting today full stop. Heheh
I didn’t know that bro.
Well rapidshare I’ve trouble accessing. It’s my ISP, we have same general dynamic IP and such sites tend to regard us as spammers.
@laling. You can split file with FFSJ (with .__a .__b etc extension) with a password and upload them to mediafire. Or simply renaming the parts of rar files might work (not sure)
mahal x?
yo’re totally right, im in Mediafire over 6 months, and yo’ kno wht, im in a free account type, and Mediafire services gives me all i want, like unlimited storage – unlimited upload/download and more ..
it rocks man, Mediafire rise a free uploadin’-file to 200 Mb per file and more yo’ kno, it gives an upload form web links to Mediafire form those who own a pre-account like yo
yea honey, it converts Rapidshare/Megaupload links to Mediafire links with a fantastic app called “upload from web” and only available from pre-accounts
so, it rocks, it proves and improves, it just make file hostin’ more easier in the best way yo’ve ever seen
yo’re totally right and im going to buy a pre-account this summer
