FileAve - FileAve.com is a free file host and web host which gives users 50 MB file storage space on free hosting accounts, and 150 MB bandwidth/day (about 4.5 GB/month). That is the daily data transfer for external linking (file downloads by others), but all users have unlimited access to their own files through the control panel. You can host 50 MB of your videos, music clips, Flash animations, WAV files, and images for use anywhere, such as LiveJournal, eBay auction listings, MySpace, Xanga, photographers, sharing your files, homework, and more. All file types are permitted, but no scripting is allowed. The HTML codes are automatically generated for embedding music/videos/images on webpages -- hotlinking (direct linking/ external linking) files is allowed. Once you have uploaded a song, music, or video file, you can use the "Get Codes" link to generate EMBED tags that can be used on other websites to play the music/video file. The filehosting account includes a free subdomain, such as yourname.fileave.com, in which you can make a free home page. You can create your own folders/directories to organize your files, or just upload files into the root folder. FileAve.com is a sister site to Ripway.com (owned and operated by Ripside Interactive, a free web hosting company since 1999), and their dedicated webhosting servers are located in a highly secure datacenter, with redundant storage, multiple connections to the internet, and a large cluster of web servers to maintain hosting reliability. Account creation is instant (registration required). Freehosting accounts that are inactive for more than 60 days (2 months) will be removed from the webservers, but their TOS reccommends to log in to your account at least once a month to keep it active. Accounts can have paid upgrades to increase the file storagespace and daily data transfer limits.
