Okay i'm currently making a website for Eu.gaming..
And i would like a download page however the web host i'm using does not support this feature..
i can surely make a page named downloads and add URLS to other websites to download from but i don't want that..
is there a feature any one can recomend me to get to add to my site via HTML or any sort of code...
that will allow me to allow users / members download from my site.

I really don't quite know what you're trying to describe, but a download page is just like any other regular HTML page. You put the name of it, maybe a small description, and a direct link to the file you want them to download.
This can all be done with basic HTML that a beginner would know. You said you don't want it to be off-site, so all you do is get your hands on the files yourself and then upload them straight to your website.
I don't know what kind of web host you're using, or what methods you're using to make this website, so I can't provide you with any specific details. Just the way you worded your post, you're obviously a novice and probably using your host's webpage builder.
Code: Select all
<!-- repeat this HTML code for each download -->
<a href="http://yourwebsite/path/to/the/file.ext"><h3>Name of File</h3></a>
<p>Short description about the file.</p>

# Upload file to your server ( use fillezilla ftp client , its free + super duper fast - forces connections 2 )
# Use html as Ghost posted and link it.
