Practical, focused advice for choosing between hosts when the primary need is MP3 delivery, some client-side scripting, and a future database. The important decisions are not brand names but measurable limits, delivery behavior, and policy: storage and per-file limits, true monthly transfer and overage rules, support for byte-range requests (seek/resume), database types/quotas, and acceptable-use/DMCA terms.

Minimum checklist to request from each host:

  • Monthly bandwidth (GB) and exact overage cost; any sustained‑transfer or per‑connection throttles.
  • Total storage and per‑file size limit; backup frequency and restore options.
  • Support for HTTP byte‑ranges (Accept‑Ranges) so MP3 seeking works and downloads resume.
  • Server-side support needed (PHP/MySQL vs ASP/.NET), number of databases, max DB size, and access (SSH/phpMyAdmin).
  • Upload methods: FTP/SFTP, max upload timeouts, and whether large files are allowed via web UI.
  • CDN or static-file offloading options (or ability to use one); control over caching headers (Cache‑Control/Expires).
  • Policies: Acceptable Use Policy and DMCA takedown process—hosting copyrighted mp3 for distribution often triggers limits.
  • Control panel type (cPanel/Plesk), SSH access, and monitoring/uptime SLA.
  • Trial or month‑to‑month plan to test real traffic behavior and support responsiveness.

MP3 specifics and deployment notes: prefer hosts that serve correct MIME (audio/mpeg), honor range requests, and let caching reduce repeated hits. For significant traffic, consider a VPS/dedicated plan or a CDN to avoid host throttles and high overage bills. FrontPage extensions are legacy; prefer standard FTP/SSH deploys or modern static deployment workflows rather than relying on host FrontPage support.

Context from thread: ’s prompt to list exact requirements is spot on. Links and host recommendations from , , and are starting points, but verification against the checklist above (and a short hands‑on test upload/download) will reveal which provider actually meets the needs described by .

Well basically... I think Storage and Bandwidth (no numbers tho, as more as better) mmm if there is a Free-Life domain also, would be awesome, emails would be cool,,, what i really need is frontpage, javascript and DHTML conpatibily which i heard is enabled for both servers and both O.S linux and windows.
