One-click hosting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One-click hosting describes web services that allow any internet users to easily upload any type of file from their hard drive onto the one-click hoster's server free of charge to have it hosted.

Most such services simply return a short URL which can be given to other people, who can then fetch the file later on. As of 2005 these sites have drastically increased in popularity, and subsequently, many of the smaller, less efficient sites have failed. The most popular of these sites are Megaupload and Rapidshare.
