I get 500MB, though most of that goes into storing e-mails. I am allowed up to 4 static IPs though, so I just use one of my computers as a spare server instead ([http://kirupa.mit.edu](http://kirupa.mit.edu)), though it only works for connections made from within my college :cap: ---

Try experimenting with large media sites on 6mb’s. Pretty much forget sound, hi-res images, video. The whole nine. Public Schools:{ I pretty much started practicing flash becuase its so light-weight. ---

We don’t get any :lol: We have to pay a freaking 15% tax for all purchases and the government wastes it on drugs and useless crap that even I could have a better use for with just $10, which is exactly how much a month of hosting costs. ---

488MB for us here at Purdue University. I think I get some more on a different server which is dedicated to my specific school (school of electrical and computer engineering), but I’m not sure how much space we get on that. ---

I get a whopping nothing at the Art Institute of Seattle. However I do get the benefit of paying for my own internet connection because they won’t get it for us in the dorms. Pretty cool! ---

I’ve got an unlimited account on one of the csc servers. Someone was storing like 4000 mp3’s on it once and they didn’t care lol. Only problem is they give you an ugly url:( [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/web-space-at-colleges-any-college-students/185789.md?page=2)
