Recently, a new web host started offering a locally hosted hosting package boasting unlimited bandwidth and storage for a really small fee. This is a first in South Africa. Not many people were/are convinced that they are able to deliver on their promises, including us, but although we can’t help but be a little sceptical, we’re really hoping they can.
Since we’re always looking for new ways to increase the resources we offer and improve our service, we immediately wondered how this could be useful to our community. We decided pretty quickly that moving QuickShare over to a new host with big goals and no track record would be a gamble and decided against it. That brought us to our next idea: Why not launch a similar site, offering a file hosting and sharing service on this new network, while clearly explaining to everyone what it’s based on and being transparent about the fact that it’s new, untried and untested. By doing so, we can offer a significantly more powerful service to our users for as long as we can while simultaneously testing this new host to see if they can live up to their claims.
So… we decided to put up Databin. The interface of the site is a significant improvement over QuickShare and it’s the way we have been planning to move QuickShare ahead. Also, we’ve made the file upload limit 150MB.
Please feel free to give it a try but please keep in mind that it’s pretty much a test concept based on a service provider that isn’t older than a few weeks. Please don’t use this as a backup service, and please note that QuickShare and Databin will not be held responsible for any loss or damage of data caused directly or indirectly.
Now that I have the disclaimer out the way, please enjoy
