I have yet to test it, but Anzwers.org is the hosting service I've signed up for to host my compiled scripts... in a few days I'll be able to test it with the release of the OutRun Suite. (Isn't the suspense killing you?  ) Dunno if it's enough space or the right type for you, though. |

The best place you could look is at http://www.free-webhosts.com.
My recommendation is http://www.freewebpage.org because it displays only one small google text-ads on your pages and it has free FTP upload.
I don't think you'll be likely to ever get a free hosting solution as good as a paid one. However, many ISP providers (in the UK at least) offer these hosting services with your internet. Many of these ISP servies are hotlinkable, ftp access, no-ads and etc.
Also, if it helps to know, 1&1 is a very well known webhosting company. It came top in almost every 2004 PC magazine and is also what autohotkey.com is using  |

1&1 was what I was using until Dec 31... I got this amazing free deal a few years ago, but only had uses for it recently. Now I'm back to the mortal world.  |

You don't understand... I haven't bought anything for my computer (excluding games of course) since, like, 2001. Before then I was still very, very frugal. A dollar sign is my bane, even if it's just like 10 bucks for some aspiring coder who needs it. I don't care what the cause, or how cheap, I usually won't do it. Hell, I don't even own a credit card, much less a Paypal account.
GO FREEWARE! |

everything looked very good... and i was going to give a big 'Thank You' when i noticed (not that i'm fault-finding) that .zip isn't supported... damn!... i'd have made a website to make some stuff available to ppl and not to show images and make ppl listen music!  what were bravenet.com thinking?

Here's a site that gives you unlimited file hosting+bandwith+space: http://www.yourfile.net (max. 1mb per upload and hotlinkable).
No matter how hard I've looked I couldn't find a service that gives you hotlinkability with free hosting (not even bravenet). You could use the link above to hotlink files and change links on your preferred free hosting service |

Wow. I can confirm this. It didn't work at all before, apparently they've fixed the security code... and is it just me, or did it look different before?
Here's the file I tested on, an old photo: (set to just one week, if this post is older than that, it most likely won't show)

Have you realized that your "Funky 'drops" photo isn't about drops at all. It's a greyscale photo taken from an area of breeding GreenWhatNots  (correct, their cone heads are dipping out of the surface)
Hmm, seems have to be adopted by Ridley Scott for his Alien movies  |
