I'm really getting into creating audio files, but I am very soon going to run out of storage space in my existing web hosting account.

Are there any services that either for free or for a reasonable amount of money let you host audio files there for downloading or podcasting?

Thanks for any leads!

www.aplus.net - under $10 a month for 2,000 gigabytes of monthly transfer and nearly 200 gigabytes of storage.
www.powweb.com - under $6 a month for 15,000 gigabytes of monthly transfer (500gigabytes daily) and tons of storage.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=16427261 - Amazon S3 for unlimited storage and unlimited bandwidth at appoximately 18 cents per gig transfered per month plus a few pennies per gig for storage.

See David Thompson's post in this section of the forum about Amazon S3 for a video showing you how he uses it.

You can PM Tony as well - he can give you a discount code for the service he uses, and certainly advice.

Marcia...

All the suggestions/recommendations/resources that Josh shared work... especially the AWS3S set up (the Amazon service)... it's really quite cheap and very reliable (well, they DID go down once... but they fixed that)...

Lisa mentioned the host I use -- Dreamhost -- it runs about $120 a year but for that you get over 500gb's of space as well as 5-terabytes of bandwidth a month (and each week they add more space/bandwidth to your account -- 2gb of space and 20gb of bandwidth)... I can give you (or anyone) a $50 discount code that'll bring down the price of first year of hosting...

One other resource you might want to check out is one that was specifically designed for podcasters -- it's libsyn.com (Liberated Syndication)... although the plans look restrictive they work well for a lot of podcasters...

There are plenty of others that you can use... if you need more recommendations just let me know...  blake

Hope this helps!...

Success!!!

Marcia, I only just started using the AWS3 service
and I have to say it's bloody awesome to get setup
and running and the content can and feels like it's
coming from your domains.

Hello there

www.Hostgator.com is one I'd check out.  I have an affiliate link at http://www.TheResourceQueen.com/favorites/website.html   I purchase my own IP, for $2 more than the plan price.  Lots of space and room to grow. 


I started putting my files in a zip which cut down a little on space.

I have used www.4shared.com/  for 5gb of space.  Not sure how secure it is.  I use it to have clients upload files, then I teake the files down.

Microsoft has  office live.  One of the components is a program where you upload files, then with a password, someone can get in and download the file.  Not sure if this is good for you, but heck it's worth the check.


And there is basecamp.com

Hey, Maria -
I think the OP was referring to hosting the audio and podcasts, not just storing them.
