XFileSharing Pro is a solid script for running your own file hosting service. A few tips if you're setting it up:
1. Make sure your server has enough I/O — file hosting is disk-intensive. SSD or NVMe is essential for the database, and HDD is fine for storage.
2. Configure your nginx properly — the default Apache config is slow. Use nginx with sendfile enabled for much better download speeds.
3. Set up a CDN early — even Cloudflare's free plan will help with static assets and reduce server load.
4. Monitor your bandwidth — file hosting can eat through bandwidth fast. Make sure your hosting plan has enough or you'll get surprise bills.
