      Looking more for something like DivShare, MediaFire, or Rapidshare. But any suggestions about video sharing like YouTube would also be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks in Advance,

        Maxx,

        I dont believe Voda allows for that kind of site on their hosting. But Herr General will be along with his reply shortly Im sure! The issue lays in the bandwidth, and the possible sharing of LICENSED files could get their server shut down. I think you are looking at renting your own SERVER for that.

              What you are asking for is "co-location" or "managed server" ..... you might try starting HERE to compare various providers according to your desires.

                Even a VPS would work until the site became more popular. To be perfectly honest, it would be really hard to compete with rapidshare and the larger file sharing websites, atleast at this point in time. Plus they run mainly on advertising money (like most websites that don't "sell" a product or service), the membership doesn't make up the bulk of their profits.

                Register/Login Script
                Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script
