Domain Name Registration

RapidShare is a German One-click hosting site that operates from Switzerland and is financed by the subscriptions of paying users.

It operates as a pay service, allowing any member to upload files of up to 100MB. The user is then supplied with a unique download URL, which locates the file and enables anyone with whom the uploader shares it to download the file.

As of September 17 2006, non-premium members are forced to wait roughly two hours after each download, although it must be noted people with a dynamic IP can usually skip this wait by simply disconnecting and then reconnecting.

Registration and payment allow benefits such as download of several files simultaneously, queue-skipping, and the facility to interrupt and re-start downloads. No user is allowed to search the server for content; all files have to be downloaded by following a given URL. Unless you do a google search for: 'site:rapidshare.com <keywords>'.
