You’re trying to run a server for Kodi, yes? If so, that won’t work here, and would not be in line with the terms of service anyways. > [@Browser Security System - Features and Limitations](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/ensuring-only-web-browsers-can-access-your-website/49353): > > InfinityFree uses a security system on all free hosting accounts to ensure your website is accessed by real web browsers, not bots or automated scripts.

Will it work? Yes. Does that mean you’re allowed to? No. We provide _website_ hosting. That includes both InfintiyFree free hosting and iFastNet’s paid hosting. Both our terms and the terms of iFastNet clearly state that hosting space can only be used for website files only. Using our hosting, or iFastNet’s hosting, to host a media library used for streaming to a TV, is not website hosting, and consumes too much storage space and bandwidth compared to regular web hosting. Please find hosting that’s actually intended for this use case and allows it, because we don’t. ---

Hello, thank you for answering, do you mean I will save a large number of files for movie files? No, I only save the Kodi application settings theme so that other people can copy the settings with the Inedex repository that I created, I just do this and it doesn’t take up even 100MB of space, I ask if it will be read on Kodi? because I tried the free one, it brought up the message in the previous image and it couldn’t be opened and if I tried the paid one, would it work? Please just answer yes or no, don’t prolong the discussion ---

OK, if it’s not used for a media library, that’s a lot better, and keeps the disk space and bandwidth usage down. As for whether it will work, the answer is still yes. As for whether you’re _allowed_ to, I don’t exactly know. I suggest you contact iFastNet about this to ask them, we can only help you with questions about InfinityFree, we can’t give definitive answers about the policies of other companies. When you ask, please make sure you very clearly state that it’s just for the distributing of a custom profile, not actual media library hosting. Because hosting for a media server application implies that you want to use it for streaming. ---
