I’ll ignore the comment about GoDaddy being terrible unless you are referring to that fact it is violation of our Hosting Terms of Services to use a shared hosting account as file repository.

I test-drove GoDaddy for about a month. I had a fully functioning web application that would not run correctly on GoDaddy’s servers. It worked without any issues on two other hosting companies servers. The calls to support were fruitless – “We don’t support issues related to code” is what I was told over and over.

I finally decided it wasn’t worth the hassle since DotNetPark.com]' target='new'>DotNetPark offered a lower cost alternative that included a SQL database that I could use Enterprise Manager with, multiple site under a single account, and much more.

I never had problems with any hosting company except GoDaddy.

Huh, that’s news to me. I know people who setup personal accounts for that purpose, but I’ll turn the other cheek. I wonder how many other hosts have that policy?

Why? PhotoBucket has the same restrictions, and it’s growing and growing each day. Of course, they’re backed by a powerful corporation, but I think divShare won’t have any problems even with those restrictions. Besides, who is going to need so many space and/or bandwidth? If their statistics are real, not many people is going to have problems.

I know several people who have only been using DivShare because of the unlimited storage that they were able to take advantage of. Not to mention the heavily trafficked sites that used it to embed videos, which will surely eat up the bandwidth. For awhile we were using them for embedding our videos, but this gives us even more reason to stick all of our media on viddler.

I haven’t actually used them before, but I’ll take your word for it. Regardless though, there are plenty of hosts out there that offer extreme amounts of storage and bandwidth for very little money.
