How safe are One-Click Hosting Services?
Recently the one-click hosting or megaupload market has seen a major boom in activity. This service allows users to upload their files onto the internet and share them with other users for free.
Who Offers One Click Hosting or Megauploads?
Due to the huge interest and popularity of the free file sharing offered by one-click and megaupload markets, countless megaupload and one-click providers have sprung all over the internet. Unfortunately, many of these companies are scams or go out of business quickly after they initially start up. Outlined below are a few of the most reputable, reliable megaupload and one-click web hosting providers.
www.yousendit.com
Yousendit.com which began offering services in 2003 has been reviewed as one of the most reliable one click providers on the net. They offer both a free account, for the light user and a fee based account for those who send and receive a higher amount of files each month. Users can send files up to 100MB per month, each file can be downloaded a total of 100 times and can also receive their own Yousendit mailbox, address book and sent file history with the free plan. Those who need to send files up to 2GB with the availability of 200 downloads per file and the option to track downloads and 3 day e-mail support will need to pay a modest fee of $4.99 per month. The service is very easy to use, similar to most e-mail programs and is reliable to share files that are too large to send via e-mail.
www.sendspace.com
Sendspace.com is another choice in the megauploading market. They also offer free and pay for use services.

The top 100 members also receive a bonus ranging from $50 to $5,000.
What are the Advantages to Megauploading and One-Click Hosting?
Megauploading and one- click hosting offer many advantages to their users.
The biggest advantage is the ability to share large files. Many times people have difficulties attempting to send large files via email because either their or the recipients email provider limits the size of files that can be accepted in their mailbox. Or it may just be impractical to send an email that will occupy a large portion of your allotted mailbox space. It's also more convenient when sending attachments to a large number of recipients. If you forget someone, you can just resend the link instead of uploading the entire file again. Many companies offer this free file sharing service for free, making it extremely cost effective. Using megaupload and one click hosting services can be a quick, easy and effective way to share large files with business associates, family and friends.
