Macgamefiles offers free game hosting
Macgamefiles.com has announced free game hosting for shareware and freeware game developers (but not for things like maps, mods, etc.). The only catch is that the game's developer needs to point their download links to the game's product page hosted at Macgamefiles.com. This, I assume, is so MGF can make up their (probably astronomical) hosting costs with ad hits.Given some of the bills I've heard of for hosting large files like podcasts and software downloads, I would imagine this is a huge bonus for garage-based game developers. Three cheers for internet advertising business models!

Does that mean that they are taking money from the users or they just wait the game to turn into professional?

How can you possibly afford to offer free game hosting? It baffles me.
We are in the email hosting business and even though we charge pennies per month, there has to be a charge to cover expenses. Please visit us at http://www.emailhosting.com
