I picked up the domain 0gigs.com

Not only was I a little surprised it was available, it just strikes me as humorous.

It seems like it has some potential advantages: it's short and memorable; it would come early in listings; it has potential,  albeit occasional at best, accidental traffic due to mistypings and curiosity (like me...gee, I wonder if there's anything there).

The name struck me as funny, and yes, I did discover it while looking for free hosting at sites like 50gigs and such and wondering if there was anything there.

All I have on it presently is a free links page, but it seems like this could be a useful domain...but for what?

Any suggestions?

A sales page for an instructional DVD of advice from successful performers about how to get bookings for gigs if you are a struggling DJ or anyone else involved in performing in front of audiences. You could put this together by doing video interviews of successful people such as DJs, musicians, magicians, hypnotists etc.

After some thought, I am thinking of putting an image/file hosting site on the domain.

Hence, a user's cost in space and bandwidth is 0gigs.

That's a big resource hit IMO. Why are you planning to do this? Are you a charity?

More of a charity case. Cheesy

Just expanding on the idea of 5g8 where allowing hotlinking has provided lots of inbound links and is increasing my rankings and traffic (for a site, comparatively, for which I have not done that much promotion).

I'm looking to get a few sites ranked well in Alexa, and get them good PR (they don't have to be 7s, 3+ works for me) for ulterior motives.

I don't have any plans for unlimited file sizes; just something that would be useful to bloggers, webmasters on free hosting, etc. A rapidshare clone, or the such, is way too much resources, and the resource use, IMO, would not justify the backlinks. I would rather provide something for hosting smaller files that allows direct hotlinking to the files.
