Gmail for Web Hosting

By Thomas Marshall · June 26, 2005 ·

At Seekers on Friday, someone suggested using Gmail storage space for hosting a website. I am not sure if there is an attachment size limit, but if there is it should be pretty high judging by the amount of space they give you. With attachments on Gmail you download them, and that gives you an address of the file, you could then use that address, for hosting files for a website. If it would work in practice or not I don’t know; but that will be something to do today.
UPDATE:The picture within this post is hosted on Gmail.
ANOTHER UPDATE:The picture in the post only displays on my computer; you need the gmail login cookie for it to work.
