yes actually i see tons of sites. but there only 5 or 6 good sites.
However we have experience with offshore hosting. so we can do something unique.

But i want to know more details/tips about file sharing sites included rates/cheaters etc etc

Most sites use same script xfilesharing, but best ones use custom scripts.

First you need money for running the site, don't buy cheap servers, and if you want affiliate program don't start with huge rates,just to attract users, and then decrease them, better start with low rates and then increase.

Second think about what your gonna offer: speeds, space, storage time etc for free/registered/premium.
What i hate the most about new hosts is they always change this things.

This is all from a file host user's point of view.

Thanks for that valuable suggestions. We would like start with affiliate programs, referrals and reseller system.
This time we need more memberside suggestions and ideas.
 
Nowadays exists lots of filehosting sites, but most of them have a short life only best ones remains.

When i chose a filehost for my files i check how user firnedly is and the download limitations for free users. If the hosting si veru restrictive for free users for me has no value.

ofcourse yes. but i ithing 250 kbps and 500kbps enough for both anonymous and free members
 
these are my things i look for if i choose a host:

  • How Many space can i have as a registered user
  • How Many space can i get if i choose to get premium
  • What does the premium cost me:
  • How can i get a prem.acc - do i have to pay or can i get one by having enough downloads? (i don't need PPD, but i want to have get a prem.acc if i got enough downloads or the host ist "good" enough to not needing prem. - though i dont neet pps either)
  • How long are the files saved
  • How can i upload? Only webupload or ftp?
  • How fast is the upload (i want to at least have 2MB/s per connection - preferable 10MB/s)
  • How good is the free-user speed - should best be above 300KB/s and i don't have to register to download.
  • Do you have shit like you force to download a download-manager (absolutelty a no-go)
  • Are there any download-limits (like 1 DL ein 45min)
