Q&A: Which website design allows you to upload files for others to download?

Question by Shadowlord: Which website design allows you to upload files for others to download?
I need to design my own website, but I don’t know which website allows you to upload short videos (At least 100MB), music and documents for others to download.
I want to be the host, and I want it to be free.
Acually I think a blog would work fine too.

When someone browses to something other than HTML, their browser pops up the Save As dialog box. That means anything you can get to with a URL can be downloaded. In other words, it doesn’t matter which web hosting company you go with for people to be able to download your files.

Now if you want streaming video or music, that’s a different story, and you’ll have to shop for a web host that supports what you want.

    A blog would likely be a good choice, and platforms like WordPress and Community Server — which are both free and are widely supported — allow you to easily add binary and text content for others to download. Most blog frameworks are highly customizable and can be skinned to match the look-and-feel of your website.

    There are literally hundreds of platforms to choose from. Which you pick will ultimately depend on your technical ability, the features you require, and what type of server you’ll be hosting on.
