Cheap / Free Web Hosts with minimal ads...?
#1
Greetings!

I recently embarked on the wonderful journey reffered to me as College, and I have chosen the immesurably difficult task of Music to be my major. Therefore I've joined three singing ensambles, and blah blah blah.

In order to help me prepare for these ensambles, I take all of the music and put them into the computer so as to create a midi file (this way, you can convert to MP3 and practice anywhere!) The other people in my section have expressed an interest in me sharing my work, and I am willing to do it, but I want to make it look fancy (plus putting it on the Web would be an easy way to share it). Since I put all of the parts in at the same time, I can create emphasis (changes in dynamics for the desired part), i.e, create a "Soprano midi" or an "Alto midi" or a "Tenor midi" or a "Bass midi". All I really need is some webspace to do it... I have minimal knowledge in HTML, but I need a little help to get going. Basically, I need to find a webhost who is (preferably) free, or otherwise dirt cheap that I could use to host my MIDI files on, creating (hopefully) a library that I could refer to again and again later in life. Does anyone have suggestions, or could anyone maybe offer up a tiny bit of space? I don't want to be a mooch, but Midis are like, what, 50 KB / file max?

Any suggestions are (as always) appreciated, and yes, I know I just used way too many parenthesis in this post. I'm sorry. I got carried away. Thanks (again!)

There a tons of cheap hosts, can you define "cheap"? 5$ a month? 20$ a year? 5$ a year?

For 5$ a month you can get more space then youll even use and a whole lot more.


If you want even cheaper i might be able to donate some space/bandwith. It wont be much though.

It may take you a while to get some space over 300 MB, but iGB.net has a decent free hosting plan if you want it.

I use them for my site.. basically, it's a totally free site, you just have to post in their forums every now and then. They're supported by ad money through Google I believe, but really just a couple decent sized posts will keep ya going for another week.

The hosting includes MySQL/PHP, plenty of hard disk space, and plenty of bandwidth. They use cPanel, if you're down with that.

Well you get what you pay for.

To be honest i wouldnt go with a host that didnt support rails.
Not that I actually do anything with it yet, I just want to Big Grin

Thanks for all your suggestions, I'll keep them in mind for later...; as for now Jatos gave me a spot on his site, so that's cool, and I appreciate it!
