For security reasons I can’t, but I wonder if somebody could make a SFTP wrapper that uses the 1MB API.

What security reasons? You can totally have a secure sftp endpoint on your filehost.

I can’t reliably reject uploads if they are out of storage or enforce file types. Stuff like that

Love the simplicity and custom domains. I often use glitch [1] but will give 1MB a go as custom domains is difficult with Glitch.

Side note, your footer on mobile is missing some items unless you release you can swipe across - which is not obvious.

It’s a horizontal scrolling menu by design let me think of how to make it more obvious, as I see what you mean

What can you really do with 1 megabyte? Clearly nothing serious. Why suggest it's free then? Neocities provides 1GB which is actually a relevant amount.

> What can you really do with 1 megabyte?

A ton. It's more than enough.

What can one do with 140 character limits?

I want to upgrade and support this project. But I am not sure if this is a scam :) should I wait before doing this ? Any thoughts ?

This project is ran by a guy named Dalton (me), not by some big company with lots of funding. When you upgrade to Pro you’re helping offset hosting costs and validating the countless hours I spend developing this project. 1MB has been featured on Product Hunt twice: https://producthunt.com/posts/1mbsite & https://producthunt.com/posts/1mbsite-v2, has over 300 followers on Twitter https://twitter.com/1mbsite, and is hosting over 1,100 sites at the time of writing. What’s my point? 1MB is trusted by many :)

Awesome service! Thanks for making it available. A small comment: In the 'Edit Site' page, the preview is reloading with every keystroke. Would it be better to make it refresh on the click of a button?

I wanted it to be live feedback, but it is kind of distracting. I’ll add that to my development roadmap! Thanks for using my service :)

Nice to hear! Sounds like you have a great product AND a plan :)

Pro launched! :)

You should really consider having Pro not being a onetime fee, but rather a monthly subscription, or at the very least both options. A single one time $100 fee is unlikely to go well with most users, but many more would be ok with contributing $5 or so a month if it meant supporting a good service.

Pro is $5 a month or $100 for a lifetime plan. The monthly option isn’t available until I implement the new payment processor but please stay tuned I hear you :)

Alright I found the link. OVH’s 10MB plan only has 1 GB of monthly bandwidth while 1MB’s is unmetered (fair use - don’t abuse). OVH’s 10MB plan doesn’t give you access to a database while 1MB gives you access to a secure NoSQL database. In closing they have more storage but they make up for that by taking away some core functionality that 1MB offers. https://www.ovh.co.uk/domains/start10m_hosting_offer.xml

Soft promises ("unlimited, don't abuse") make me nervous because they are not clear. Is making the front page of HN and doing 50gb in one day "abuse"?

Probably not.

But if you're hitting the frontpage twice a month, probably time to pay for a plan.
