Help Finding Hosting for a Massive Scratch Project

Hulloo Requests forum. :B Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but hey, I tried.

I've created a large Scratch project, and it's apparently too big to put onto the website! I simply cannot accept this- I've been working on it since spring! Luckily, I know of a way around this. If people can download the .sb2 file- which I happen to have myself- they can upload it to the website editor and play it from there. So the question remains- how do I distribute it? I sort of want to do this for free, but I as this is a website aimed at young children, I don't want a hosting service that uses a crud-ton of advertisements. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

What I'd do is remove all of the music, upload it smaller, then add it again in the online editor and that should work. No way can a project with only code and images take that much space, unless you've done like a stop motion animation that uses thousands of images.

…You think that'll really work?

EDIT: Removed majority of the sound in the game, to no avail. :C

How exactly do I f- wait, hang on.. think I figured it out while I was typing that…

Size is 14.9 MB, so the project is about 50% larger than Scratch can handle. XC
