Even URL shorteners offer unlimited storage if you jump through enough hoops.

To encode ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ first get a short url for http://example.com/ABC, then take the resulting url and append DEF and run it through the service again. Repeat until you run out of payload, presumably doing quite a few more than 3 bytes at a time.

The final short url is the your link to the data, which can be unpacked by stripping the payload bytes then following the links backwards until you get to your initial example.com node.

I've lost track of the number of times I've seen variants on "Hey, a link shortener is a fun first project for this new language I'm learning; hey, $LANGUAGE_COMMUNITY, I've put this up on the internet now!... hey, uh, $LANGUAGE_COMMUNITY, I've had to take it down due to abuse." There are numerous abuse vectors. Optionally promise to get it back up real soon now, as if there are actually people depending on it.

Maybe it isn't a bad first project, but on no account should you put it up on the "real" internet and tell anyone it exists.
