garesreaper 0 Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Hi there I have some .exe's as well as some excel files for a system I've made. A lot of webhosts don't allow me to host that. How do you guys get around this issue? For example, this site:https://www.botguru.net/ubot-user-free-plugins/ You sign up and then you get e-mailed the files which is awesome. My question is, how do I implement something like that? And how do you stop spammers from hogging bandwidth constantly downloading those files. I'm thinking of creating a membership site and I could use an external host and stuff, but I'd rather something like this as it keeps users on my site. Cheers. It should be noted that I have a lot of jobs and for project I have it is currently 140MB. Any ideas? Edited October 20, 2017 by garesreaper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Zip the exe and most places will accept the zip folder. For the email thing you need to sign up for an email marketing service like Aweber, Get Response, Constant Conctact, etc (mail chimp is a free one) and you can have it send them an email after they register to your list. I don't see why anyone would constantly download the files but if you hosted them yourself you could just block their IP address. Otherwise Google Drive is decent, Dropbox can be good too but you may hit bandwith limits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
