I am looking for the best way to host a large manual online and allow the public to browse different sections, as well as individual figures and tables. It is already in a digital format. I also need to be able to cross-reference between different parts of the document with active links for keywords.

Any ideas?

I suggest a good starting point might be https://scribd.sjv.io/c/119570/1173822/14808?subId1=UUmuoUeUpU78289&subId2=emuo&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scribd.com%2FIf that's not what you need then...You need to be more precise about "large" and "digital format".You also need to think about popularity and budget. That's to say a very large document that might prove seriously popular could cost whoever was hosting it a lot (unlikely).Possible solutions might be to turn it into web pages or PDF format.As regards "cross links and keywords" - if it's digital format don't forget that CTRL-F pops up a "Find" search box in many digital formats/products (e.g. web page, MS Word document, Adobe PDF). Other than that inserting links can be a tedious manual process - you might find a tool to automate it but then you'd lose some control over link quality.

What do you want to do? File hosting or web hosting? I would recommend you to incorporate all the features you want in the file itself, probably as a PDF and then do a file hosting, with shared link to download. Then you can file host in any of these free services : http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.com/web-hosting-shopping/file-storage-hosting/There are also out file hosting services too and most provide 5GB free storage.
