To whom it may concern:

It looks like after tons of searching, I've found a winner with unlimitedmb.com! I'm impressed with what I see so far.

However, I think your file extension restrictions are a little over-the-top at the moment. The site I'd like to host here includes a custom designed databasing system. It is MUCH simpler than mySQL, and asks for virtually nothing from your servers (as opposed to if I were to use even one of your SQL databases).
However, to use it, I'll need to upload some files that have a .fat32 extention.

As well, my site needs to be able to host some starcraft replay files (.rep) .

I'd like to point out, that even if these file types were in any way malicious, unless your servers had interperetters to run them, nothing would happen.

For this reason, can I expect these two file extensions to be allowed any time soon? I can't host my site here unless they are allowed.

You have to zip and post examples of the files on here for them to see, and they actually aren't restrictions, they have a list of allowed, not a list of banned, so as people ask for them they add them.

Is the database system flat file?
Did you code it? If so, can you just change the code to use different file extensions?
