2008 Should be Great
31-12-2007
So, it's the last day of 2007 around here, and we have some kudos to give: Coderzilla, who has provided us with a fast download mirror for popular files. Their site should be launching tomorrow, so check it sometime. If you would like to run a sponsored mirror for Host-A, talk to us! It's really simple to do, and we can work with any amount of space thrown at us. [Read full article & comments]

More Mirrors, Moderation
15-09-2007
The moderation system is now complete! Read the help topic to get yourself acquainted with the workings of it, and to learn the new way of reporting TOS incompliant files.
Even more importantly is that two full-archive, dedicated servers are now online! This is to act as additional download points, if the current ones fail.
To celebrate these two big events, everyone's bandwidth gets upped another 100 MB this weekend! Hopefully these new services will render Host-A a little more helpful to all :) [Read full article & comments]
