Please add more if you know some other hosting places. Best is to be free.
The free web hosts I recommend most:
- www.freehostia.com (http://www.freehostia.com)
250MB disk, 5GB bandwidth, MySQL (that means forums will work)
- www.110mb.com (http://www.110mb.com)
5GB disk, 300GB bandwidth, high speeds, NO MySQL (that means forums will NOT work), but you can pay for MySQL
- www.000webhost.com (http://www.000webhost.com)
350MB disk, 300GB bandwidth, high speeds, MySQL (that means forums will work), keep in mind that the site was marked as fraudulent not because of the hosting, but because of their affiliate program which is fraudulent
The web hosts where you need to pay I recommend most:
- www.icdsoft.com (http://www.icdsoft.com)
99,9% uptime, high speeds, 6$ for 1GB disk and 20GB bandwidth monthly or $10 for 50GB disk and 500 bandwidth monthly, hence the probability of overselling is basically zero
don't forget http://sendspace.com/ (http://sendspace.com/)
300MB
Files don't last too long, but good for temporary stuff (demos, betas, etc)
Wow! Thats pretty much it :o. I use megaupload and sendspace they are pretty easy to use.
How could I forget it? I think that Zeriab posted this originally and forgot to add it. xD
EDIT:
I edited the post and made it easier to overview. :3
Nice post, I didn't even know more than a quarter of these sites
I just wanted to add these, these are RPG Maker sites:
www.phanxgames.com (http://www.phanxgames.com) (Game Project Section - Under Development)
www.uirpg.com (http://www.uirpg.com)
www.rpgmaker.net (http://www.rpgmaker.net) (Maximum 20MB)
www.rpg-palace.com (http://www.rpg-palace.com)
Check Phanxgames out, there game project section looks promising.
Kewl...
www.mediafire.com (http://www.mediafire.com)
100MB per file. Rather slow uploading though, not sure about downloads.
I use rapidshare myself, once I've passed the 100mb mark I think Im going to use sendspace.
You forgotted savefile

And your own PC, just setup port forwarding with your modem/router/ISP and go to DynDNS.com :V:
MediaFire that place it that BEST!
Zshare.net
1GB max upload for registered users. Free to register. Decent upload speeds. Upload up to 6 or eight files at a time.
GB max size for uploads if you get a prerium account, files are hosted to eternity if they´re downloaded atleast once in two months i think, But if tthe files are not downloaded enough times in the tim eperioid (once in two months i think) they´re deleted. Max 15 sec wait before download, no wait between downloads.
Easy and pleasant to use and to visit. I personally love this place. I recommend this to all who want to host bigger games, and there´s no limit to how much files you can have i think.

^For the win.
well, for me, it's FTW, but I guess they aren't accepting any new people right now, because their servers are full =/
but the link I put near the bottom of my last post has some good webhosts with lots of space ;)
CP is hosted on 000webhost?? that place sucks! i totally hate it!
also: another place to get your WEBSITE hosted is ucoz.com
400 mb free space and increases every second by a certain amount
99.9 % uptime
uCoz is a very nice website host/maker, but I haven't seen too many actually good sites made with it. All about flash games, clans, and most people just make a site for fun.

Actually, it has fewer problems than almost any other host I've seen, and for a decent price. I think it's a great host.
Except for some critical problems, I agree. 000webhost is the best free host out there.
CP WAS hosted at 000webhost for about two months. That was more than 2 years ago, though. Today CP's hosted at u2-web.com.
OHH good.
Sorry for the long gap between replies, but there are two other hosting sites:
4shared.com
Cons: From my experience fairly slow upload. They delete your files after a month or so.
Mediafire.com
Cons: I just started using it, but they do not seem to delete files. Upload isnt as slow as 4Shared.
DELETE Megaupload since it's banned and add MEDIAFIRE.com which is one of the best and safest imo.
Done. I used to not like Mediafire, because it will cluttered with ads just like Filefront, but they've improved a lot over the time.
mediafire and mega its the best one i've seen so far.. :P
You should really avoid posting in topics that nobody posted in for the past 3 months. We have a rule against that.
Breaks the system by hosting his game on a different game making site therefore betraying this forum.
WOW OZZY FIRST POST IS A NECROPOST WAY TO GO FAM
(actually that doesn't matter, I have a forum post for my game and I link to RMN/itch.io to host it)
