Question

I need a web building site to host .mp files

Jun 22, 2016 2:45PM PDT

So I have tried the Joe blogs youtube soundclowd dropbox appbox and A few others and they are all the same! They don't work! They are all in on it!
They will not accept a special code that .mp has or they block them automatically by there own copy right procedures or they wont allow me to allow other internet users to see it with out being a member them self's

I also tried photobucket and a site called Webs that lets you create your own web site and they wont accept a file upload larger then 10MG

So I am looking for a no hassle web building site (like Webs) that will allow you to upload and store .mp2 .mp3 .mp4 files and post them on the net with out any spambot sticking there noises in

Any idea please?

And it appears you want what we get when we pay for web hosting. Once in a while a new web master asks for a list of things but it must be free or without signups or ads.

Nope. No free lunches today.

So if no free luches then where can I pay a small fee for the basics of what I want?

You go shopping. There are so many web hosts today that I can't recommend any. Just google the ones you find for reviews.

And only you know your exact requirements plus what country you are in.

With thousands of web hosts out there today but you can run your own server on very low end gear, I can only tell you the basics, how you can solve it and how I check on host reviews.

The link mentions "google drive" will this allow 100GB files in the .mp formant for anyone that I would like to download?

Assuming you own the copyright for those files (otherwise it would be illegal) you don't need a "web building site". Just a domain and a hoster where you can setup an ftp-server. The more GB you need, the more expensive it will be, but that makes sense, doesn't it?

An ftp-server is a server to download files from with your favorite ftp-client. Even browsers can do it; all you need to know: a link and the username "anonymous".
