Data.BG is one of the fastest growing and most advanced free web hosting sites in Bulgaria. Despite some reliability issues and occasional technical difficulties, the service is swiftly emerging as a leading file hosting facility, specifically tailored for movies, music and software, rather than anything else.

A number of tools offer wide-ranging capabilities to browse stored files, easily customize file searches and chat with other Data.BG users. The service boasts over one million hosted files, uploaded by nearly 12,000 users. According to self-reported statistics, Data.BG provides access to 90,000 MP3s, 19,000 video files and serves about 8,000 simultaneous downloads at any given time.

Data.BG's web site heavily markets SanMarino@Home, a high-speed Internet access service via Local Area Network (LAN), only available to users in Sofia, the country's capital.

In the meantime, Data.BG enjoys growing success, but just like other similar services, free web hosting is accessible only to clients of Bulgarian Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Neither the files, nor the web site itself are visible to the wider world, seemingly labeling the importance of the problem with a local character.

Data.BG's users and the service itself, however, distribute tens of thousands of illegally copied files a day, readily available to every Internet-connected computer in Bulgaria.

And unlike other hosting services of the same rank, Data.BG continues to follow an aggressive marketing policy, advertising a major Bulgarian software company, a computer reseller and even a local insurance firm.

At the same time, Data.BG's popularity is growing relentlessly, becoming one of Bulgaria's primary distributors of pirated audio, video and software files.
