Posted By: Mr. Owl Posted On: Aug 19, 2008 Views: 177	PDF Hosting How do you host a PDF file on your site? Is there a way to do that or do you have to host it on Rapid Share or Media Fire?
Posted By: ninjatoes Posted On: Aug 19, 2008 Views: 175	RE: PDF Hosting Well, my Internet Service Provider offers its subscribers 50 MB of free webspace to make their own personal webspace. On that 50 MB of webspace, I can put the html files that make up my webpages, and any other files I want to share on the internet. So I can upload a pdf-file to my webspace, and create a link to it on my site, just like you would create a link to a website. But I'm afraid I have exhausted that 50 MB long ago, so I was forced to find an alternative host. Fileden allows direct linking (without wait time and codes) and a large amount of webspace, but not a lot of bandwidth (well, at the time I thought 5 GB per month was a lot for files of average 5 MB or something like that...) And if you upload a PDF there, and direct link to it, every time people would (accidently) refresh or open and close it while viewing would cause the bandwidth usage to increase, so you would reach the bandwidth usage even faster, so I made ZIP files instead (you download them once, and that's it ;o) You can use RapidShare or Mediafire to upload your PDF there and they will give you a link to the file. But it is not a direct link, so when you put that link on your website and people click it, it won't open the PDF file, but they will be taken to a download page for that file. I hope that explains it a bit, sorry if I made it sound more difficult than it really is... ;o) greetz ninjatoes

Posted By: ninjatoes Posted On: Sep 13, 2008 Views: 135	RE: PDF Hosting Thanks for the link, but even 8 GB of bandwidth wouldn't be enough to last a month I'm afraid, so right now it's not worth the hassle to transfer all of the model files and change all the links on my website. But I'm hoping I'll have a much better solution shortly. ;o) greetz ninjatoes

Posted By: ninjatoes Posted On: Sep 14, 2008 Views: 126	RE: PDF Hosting The exact date when I can make the changes depend on certain things beyond my control, but I will make an announcement on my weblog (http://ninjatoes.blogspot.com/) when the time comes to let you people know (and of course you will also notice the changes on my website). But because I am expecting it not to be very long anymore, it's not worth the effort to re-locate all my files to a different service only for a short while. Stay tuned! ;o) greetz ninjatoes
