I currently have a myspace website with zshare links to my mixtapes..

I have been getting complaints that people can't download from ZShare and was wondering if anybody knows of good clean sites that host Dj profiles and mixtapes?

I found this one:
www.podomatic.com

I have a feeling there are better ones out there..

Any suggestions?

www.beezo.com


Started by a great deejay in the LA area....DJ Enrie!

oops i mean www.beezo.net

Looked cool 'til I saw this...

How much does it cost?

It costs $50 to upload each of your mixes. After that, Beezo takes care of the hosting for three months. Think about it - instead of spending $50 to burn CDs for 200 people, you can spend $50 uploading your mix for millions of people to hear. It's a nobrainer-Beezo.net is the most cost-effective way to distribute your mix.

A bit much for a non streaming mix, seems beezo only allows downloads.

I've been looking at www.musicv2.com also because it allows player embeds an the web and myspace.

www.postbocks.com has embeds too

datpiff.com

if you're trying to be a professional company then i can only recommend getting your own web space.

personally, if i cant get to a link straight away i dont bother. theres way too many ways of getting mixes and music now to worry about having to input codes and waiting for free servers to load adverts. its just a waste of time.

if i think that way clubs and promoters will too.

im currently using www.dreamhost.com to host my website and mixes. they're not the best company in the world im sure, but i've been using them since 2005 and they've been fine with me

they have an auto install of wordpress option if you decided to go from having myspace as your website to your own blog as well

I use imeem.com to host my stuff for streaming...uploaded a 163 meg file the other day and it handled it fine.

For just passing links around, as long as it's under 100 megs, mediafire is by far the best free hosting service, and their premium package is like $6-7 a month and allows direct hotlinking.

This is awsome feeback.

Thanks Guys :)

I was always freaked out when I saw the $50 per mix for 3 months hosting, the price is beyond outrages!

Will do my reseach based on these links provided, feel free to post a few more.

I have tons of old school mixes posted on my site,
www.djdynastymusic.com

Only minor problem with that is that you pay for webspace and BANDWIDTH. A 100mb+ mix downloaded by a healthy number of people can blow out the bandwidth sometimes.

(but i see Dreamhost gives you unlimited if you pay for 2 years upfront - not bad).

waxdj.com

www.waxdj.com

www.musicv2.com. You can't beat the price for a lifetime membership.

^^I just signed up today on the $15 deal.

This is the winner for me :)

Clean site, works well, free, not for profit, no ads..

If you want to see what how the mix is displayed once uploaded check this link out (postbocks.com)

Thanks guys for these posts they really helped! gonna probably also set up a profile on www.musicv2.com for the community aspcet of it, though I it seems it is geared more at other geners to what I am used to play.

p.s
Happy new year!

i agree with battle funk - just get your own website - for me its all about the image you project to people and how easy it is for them to get their hands on my mixes...

I laugh when DJs get asked if they have a website and they reply "yes, its www.myspace.com

Having your own website allows you to promote yourself extensively by posting flyers, pics and mixes...

that site looks like a winner. i just signed up and uploading a mix now.

These guys are EXACTLEY what I was looking for.. gonna donate to keep em going :)

I use HDNightlife.com

www.hdnightlife.com

I have unlimited content hosting, streaming, downloads, high res photos, high qulaity video and the guy who runs it usually has my new content up in like a day or so.....

Its basicly like a second website for me....

I use HDNightlife.com ... I get unlimited streaming, downloads, photos, video, etc.... Its pretty dope and you don't have to pay $50 to get ur mixes out to people.

Check out my page

www.hdnightlife.com
URL: audreynapoleon

I use HD Nightlife too, its been workin' out nice, unlimited uploads and pics plus first year is free


www.hdnightlife.com

yeah im using HDnightelife as well. it's great you can put as many mixes as you want including remixes and demo. mixes can be any length. upload videos and pitures as well with a full bio and contact information. check out my page
www.hdnightlife.com

I signed up as well. I was checking them out a while back and forgot what they charged...but it wasn't $15/lifetime....good deal to me.

i use this too...this site is pretty good coz of the unlimited space, so you can have 6 hour of mixes if you want...check out my page www.hdnightlife.com

Hands down the best music hosting site is HDNightlife.

www.hdnightlife.com

People can even download your stuff! Check out my profile at www.hdnightlife.com

was hdnightlife done in frontpage?

www.hdnightlife.com seems functional but not very pleasing to the eye..

Also.. no tracklisting for the mixes or the ability to rate them.

Thanks for adding to this list, keep em coming, I think diffrent people are looking for diffirent stff.

Here is a decent one: www.xstreamist.com
I use this one with no complaints so far: www.mediafire.com

By the way, my website is ;-) www.myspace.com ahahahaha

What's good peeps.... Like Audrey, Scott, Chris, Z & Sal I host my info & music @ HDNightlife.com.... Easy to use, simple to navagate, music hosting is a breeze (both mixes & produced tracks) & all your info for potential clients you may have in the biz is all @ their fingertips on this site.... If you haven't checked it out yet, DO SO NOW!!!! IT'S FREE!!! I have read what some others have posted & understand what image is all about.... I understand that some are HARDCORE personal website people.... And that's fine.... But for those who want exposure & the ease of not having to do hosting and major upkeep, this is the site for you.... Feel free to check out any of our pages @ www.hdnightlife.com!

hdnightlife.com is no longer free :-( Looks like a cool site though. They want $70 a yr unless there is a way around this.

What a trip, just noticed that I know the DJ of the Month, Ali! I used to work with him at my previous job. Small world...

The first 10 DJs in every US market are free. After that, if you mention serato as your promo code it's only $50 a year for unlimited hosting of unlimited content.

I have MusicV2. DL's are a bit slow I've found, but other than that it's a very solid website.

i dont get, why would you pay 50 or 70 bucks a year to someone to host your mixes when you can take that money and invest in a website that can host your mixes, plus you can add other cool stuff like pics, message board and other cool things to help promote you to the masses?

Wouldn't that be more costly though....I don't subscribe to either option yet but I would assume if you get a website their gonna havea fee for massive data storage and bandwith usage which will run high when u start posting ur remixs and 1 and 2 hour demo and mixtapes..add that to hopefully a lot of people downloading them and costs add up

Oops sorry bout the double..sidekicks actin up

Market as in "State"?

Is that free for the life of the site or just Free for the first year?

Good marketing tool to get it banging, (I know 10 Michigan DJ's on here that can fill our State, but $50 to 70 a year thereafter seems expensive to drive "TRAFFIC" to YOUR site.)

Question also, was this the same site someone posted about a year ago here asking opinions on the concept. I can't find that post, but it looks like the same concept with the Dancers, Photographers, DJ's etc.

Dude, i pay less than 100 bucks a year for my site and i have enough room to host over 50 mixes on my site from me and my other DJs on my DJ crew...

I just think that I get more bang for my marketing buck by having my own website vs paying someone else to host my mixes....

I am also with HDNightlife...It's a fast growing website business...directed to help DJs and other performers to market their crafts. It has unlimited amount of space for videos, pics, mixes, and all that and clients can contact you directly through the website... Check it out... This is my dancer page www.hdnightlife.com

oops...look for hdnightlife.com/robinolive

and for what the guys are talking about above...I think it's always a good idea to be on as many sites as possible...then you get more traffic...you can always have a link to your website as well...the more marketing the better ;)

Yea, thats true Placidfluidity, but why pay for hosting your mixes? Now if you can find a site that you can upload your mixes for free, then go for it...but I wouldnt pay 50 bucks a year for someone to host my mixes...i can put those 50 bucks to something better to promote me...

It was done in notepad
:0)

Yeah, HD nightlife is off the hook. They have everything you need. You don't even really need a website if you go through them.

Check out my profile at www.hdnightlife.com

Once you join, there is unlimited content hosting (no more reducing file size to send mixes), unlimited hosting, unlimited streaming, unlimited downloads. Did I mention "unlimited."

They also have the high-res photos and video, so they are moving into the next wave.

I see hdnightlife is VERY popular on this thread.

BUT.. let's have some more options.

Any other site we missed?

That's probably because most of who posted in favor of hdnightlife just joined the forum, only posted in this thread, or both. Which looks a little suspect to me. I'm just saying...

As kind of a last resort, for those whom are unfamiliar, there's also sites like yousendit.com. Basically you pay a small monthly membership with their premium services and you can upload up to a 2Gb file. Then a link is given and whomever goes to the link will have a download to the large file....It's kind of like a FTP for dummies type thing.....but it works!

other thing to keep in mind with hosting your own media. adsense and cross-selling/marketing.

you get users to your site to download new mixes. they see ohh he has a podcast, let me subscribe to that. what's this? a cute baby doll tee. hmm the gf might like that.

all the while getting paid for imprints and click thrus.

hdnightlife, unless you are an owner at Dreamhost, your Dreamhost hosting account that you're using to host this project will get disabled before you even come close to hosting the amount of data that you're advertising on here. You are going to end up with a bunch of pissed off people when your hosting account gets shut down. You will exceed your host's disk space/bandwidth limits and violate their TOS by offering this service. Before you respond with "but my disk space and bandwidth is unlimited", read the fine print of your hosting contract. Contrary to what many host advertise, no host truly offers unlimited bandwidth and disk space (especially on a shared server). If you read the fine print of most hosting contracts, they can kick you off for just about anything (too much cpu usage, too many database connections, etc). They will find a reason to disable you before you even come close to hosting the amount of data you're talking about on here. It's a good idea, but you are going to need more than a Dreamhost hosting account to make it work.

^^^Airing it out!

......and the truth comes out :)

POSTBOCKS UPDATE

Just to give you all an update. We've moved servers and things are a bit faster and a bit more robust.

I've also added some new twitter functionality to make it easier to spam your mixes

postbocks.com

Also I've updated the embedded players so you can have all your mixes on one player.

djs shouldn't be using zshare and mediafire in this day in age. lol.

why wouldn't everyone just use mediafire ? i have over 80 of my mixes all on mediafire and it's free

YES SIR!!

lol they host only up to like 70 kbps for 20$. You can record your set in a bathroom and have it sound better. I love the beezo guys but sound quality is les important than cash to beezo! Dont put your hard work out to 200 people in crapy 70 kbps quality!

Update for www.postbocks.com as the first mix is free for new users!

Peas

soundcloud

Are you serious?

get your own domain and unlimited bandwidth and space here-

www.ipage.com

very cheap and has been working well for me for the past few months.

I currently use podomatic & soundcloud, both are great for uploading mixes. dj's add me/follow me if you use these.
