    Default Hosting large video files

    Already have one but looking for a back up for a video file 130M+ don't really want to host on our server (because I'm a cheapskate)

    Any reliable suggestions?

    For large files, rather than just considering general website hosting services, it is also worth considering specialist large file hosting services like www.fileburst.com especially if you want to serve the files too (i.e. available to view/download by your website visitors). For backup only, no serving of files, then specialist file backup services might be more appropriate.

    Amazon S3 is quite reliable and secure.

    What sort of bandwidth are you currently using for these files? Is it just the serving/storing of the files you need so no email etc.?
