What host do you think will be the largest and most successful in 3 years?

Rapidshare will be dead in a few more months it looks like, while Megaupload has since surpassed Rapidshare by a large amount, but with Hotfile also making gains, it can be anyone.

Whats your opinion? Who will be the next "rapidshare"?

I think Fileserve will be the biggest on what it currently :)
If they do something like RS they are gone :S
Though RS is still in demand and will always be coz still it is the best filehost ;)

FS ftw <3
 
I think you should be asking, what hosts will still be around - because if the Government get their way. Will there be much still going in 3 years?
 
File Hosts come and go. Especially now when new file hosts are trying to get famous over night by giving money to the uploaders and promoting illegal files. It won't take long for copyright organizations to take down file hosts like FileServe, FileSonic, etc. Only reason why are some of the old file hosts like RapidShare and MegaUpload are alive is that they aren't using direct approach to the uploaders, they weren't going on warez forums and telling everyone to upload on their file host, basically they are registered company in real life just like MegaUpload unlike FileServe.

I'd say RapidShare and MegaUpload will stay alive just because they actually aren't stupid like other file hosts to encourage users for warez uploading. FileServe should have used better method when they started, however, if they did used different method they wouldn't be so famous like now.

As I said, direct approach to the uploaders will fuck them up.
 
None of the current ones. At the speed that technology is developing do you honestly think people will still be downloading in the way they are now?

Cloud hosting will be well established by then and presents fantastic opportunities for hosting illegal content. The idea of having all the servers in one location like Rapidshare, Fileserve etc have now is already old fashioned. If you'd any sense you'd rush out and buy cloudwarez.com or something else along those lines in an attempt to capture future keyword markets.

Come on people use your imagination. Think further. Expand your brain and look towards the future.
 
cloud hosting doesn't allow warez, so where's the future on it? it depends on the company that will establish the cloud hosting.

or if ever it would be they will have a server on the us and they'll need to comply with the us standards so nope cloud wouldn't be a good option.
 
Probably still rapidshare thinking about it.

Soon as hotfile/fileserve and all these "pay to upload" sites put a stop to that, watch everyone have a shit fit, slag it for afew weeks then run back to rapidshare.

Come on... "Cloud Hosting doesn't allow warez"?

  • Hotfile don't allow warez
  • Rapidshare don't allow warez
  • Megaupload don't allow warez
  • Fileserve don't allow warez
  • FileFactory don't allow warez
  • Netload don't allow warez
etc etc for the thousands of others...

Your not allowed download copyrighted material either you know. Has that stopped you or the millions of others?

As for your second point both Hotfile and Fileserve are located in the US as far as I know.

I should probably have taken more care in writing this reply as it's one people are going to be quoting in a few years time saying "wow that guy Mr Happy was right"
 
some new hosting which doesn't exists yet, if the ones which are now will add such stupid rules like rapidshare did and killed himself.

EDIT:

i really hope that thepiratebay will get enought money to send a satelite into space and you will be able to buy a hosting there, then no country rules can't fuck you or some warez anti piracy law. :)

the space just has no laws, that's the beauty about it. :=)
