Can anybody recommend a hosting with 1 TB of disk space?

[Eugeneus]

Hi everybody. I am looking for the web-hosting with large available space, above 1 TB. This is a only high requirement actually. Everything else can be regular - cpu, ram - doesn't matter. Because I only need to have store where I can get files by http, so it need to be web-hosting. Can you recommend something?

Be real careful when selecting a host to use for "file storage." Most do not allow this. Read their tos carefully. The one I would use is Amazon S3. They are designed for this.

 

[Eugeneus]

Thank you. And you can access and download those files by http right? It can be any type of files?

Here are the details on S3 and another option, AWS. See if any of these fit your bill.

1&1 has some affordable hosting plans with unlimited storage. There is a file number limit though, I think around 256.000.
But yes, the condition in the TOS is that you don't use this webspace as a backup service or some file server.
As I understand it, these files should be actually used on the website, in one way or another.

I have tried already "unlimited" plans. When I reached 100 GB they insistantly asked me to stop uploading and after some time removed part of files themselves. It was mochahost.

Another option would be to build your own server and just rent rack space from a hosting company or data center.

Agreed - you would incur upfront acquisition costs, but your server could be considered an asset depreciated on your tax returns.
