Where to upload the .js files or javascript files so as can be used by us for running it succesfully without bandwidth problems.As i post many hacks and tricks with the usage of .js files,i was having many accounts on googlepages and geocities and use to share that bandwidth and storage with my readers but after the upcoming news that both the google and yahoo have decided to close there services of googlepages and geocities, its been difficult for me to find an good server to with enough bandwidth and share with our readers.

So i am asking my readers now to upload these files to there own server as mine will not be working because of bandwidth problems.But many of them dont know where to upload these .js files,so i have started a list of sites to share where these .js files can be uploaded and used but these sites have limited bandwidth but its sufficient for single blog user.So you can join these below sites and use there hosting services,if it dont full fill your requirement just upload your files to different servers below to distribute the bandwidth.

Here Goes The List :-

2)Hotlinkfiles:-It provides 1Gb Webspace and 4Gb Bandwidth/month.

3)Ripway:-It provides only 30Mb Webspace and 150Mb Bandwidth/day or 4.5Gb/month.
