Reseller for a host that allows filesharing
| Posted by Dekhengst, 12-25-2004, 03:35 PM |
| Are there any hosts here that allow filesharing on their servers and that are looking for resellers?
I'm interested in becoming a reseller for a host that allows filesharing

| You mean illegal filesharing of warez/music/whatever? Ask around for companies that want to have their servers seized, may have more luck finding your host..

| If you're looking for anything...well bad, you might want to look overseas. If you are just talking about running a strict download site (legal content) I believe just about any reseller will allow this if you don't go over your bandwidth.

| I mean sites with Bittorrent technology, DC++ hubs, FXP BOARDS, ed2k link sites. This all is 100% legal but controversial that's why it's hard to find a host that allows it.

| I doubt you'll find many hosts wanting to take on that responsibility. If you think it's 100% legal, point your browser to Http://www.suprnova.org and tell me what you see.

| suprnova went down on voluntarily because they had bandwith problems

| They went down because of the major legal pressure being placed on them.

I can attack the pictures if people want.

| I've never heared of something called illegal torrents. Torrents only point where files can be found on the web and are 100% legal.
Sites got raided yes but no real charges where made against the admins because their site is legal nor has any host suffered any damage for hosting a torrent site

| We can drag this out into long discussions over if it's legal or not. Torrents are used in large part to distribute pirated software/movies/music. I have yet to hear of a single US based host that would allow links to torrents on any website =/ It's just not safe for them as a host. There is no specific law saying that it's illegal, but who wants to be the first case for the lawsuit?

| All legal issues aside (and there are many). I wouldn't want to be on the same shared server as the guy providing "filesharing." If I see a webhost allowing "filesharing," you can trust I would not want to have my site(s) with them. I don't care how fat their pipes are...
