Hi everyone:
I posted this on several different hosting forums in hope that someone has an answer to this problem...

I'm new here and looking for some advice. For the last two years I was on a local DSL provider plan that included the use of a personal webspace/webpage that I could upload pictures to, and have people see them. Well I took it one step further and started using my webcams to FTP Upload Images every 20 seconds to my personal webspace/webpage. Currently I'm using 13 webcams to FTP Upload my images that update every 15-20 seconds.

This worked great for a very long time until I upgraded to a new broadband provider in town who told me I could get; 16Meg down and 2Meg up. Considering my old DSL provider only gave me 3Meg down and less then 400K up, I jumped ship to the new broadband provider. Little did I know what would happen next

I started my new account on the new broadband server, started FTP Uploading my webcams when I noticed a message coming back in the log and the uploading webcams freezing up. The message in the logs was this>
'FTP Finished::Sorry, you may not connect more than three times'. A call to the new broadband provider help desk confirmed my worst fears. They only allow a total of three (3) people or devices to connect, or FTP, to my new personal webspace/webpage. My older DSL provider never had a problem with me connecting all my webcams to their server and I had 5-15 people regularly tuning in to watch the webcams from all over the world without a hitch. I was paying for just a basic residential DSL account too. Unfortuantely, I cancelled my account with the old DSL company too thinking this new broadband company would work wonders for my site, downloading, and etc. Boy, was I ever wrong.

So, here I am everyone. I'm looking for a Web Host that can handle me uploading about 13 different webcams at 15-20 second intervals and then disconnecting. There is No Streaming done. These are just simple Logitech and Creative CCD Webcams that take a snapshot every few seconds, FTP'ing the images to the server and my webpage for people to view. The images are displayed on a simple written Java HTML Webpage. Very basic stuff, seriously.. I know next to nothing about HTML, but it works. lol.

I hate to go back to my original old DSL Host because of the slow 3Meg down, and less then 400K upload, just to display my webcam images as I successfully did for the last two years.

Now here I have this fast broadband connection of 16Meg down, and 2Meg up, and can't really use it now for my intended purpose.

I don't really need a lot of storage space, nor emails accounts, and etc. Currently I use under 18Meg worth of space on my personal webspace/website. I just need to be able to do my FTP Uploads with my webcams and also able to have people view those uploaded images without the server saying: 'Sorry Charlie'.

Any idea's where I can find a Server Host that will allow my FTP Uploads without costing an arm and a leg. This is purely a hobby for folks enjoying my camera's here in Minnesota.
