Hosting to distribute software - Site Owners Forums

ncjbhd · 09-28-2011, 11:37 PM

Hello.
I am looking for a hosting to distribute and update the database of a own software. The size of the database is about 150 Mb. and I think it could be distributed to a lot of users (a few hundred of thousand).
I have thinked in the "unlimited bandwidth" hostings plans from Dreamhost, Hostgator, Bluehost and 1&1 hosting providers.
I have seen the TOS of Dreamhost and other hosting providers and I don't know if I can use the "Shared hosting" plans, I have to rent a VPS or I have to select another hosting plan.
Has anyone experience with software distribution/update hosting?

You would need a dedicated server. Shared hosts do not allow you to host files that users can download, especially not hundreds of thousands of users.
