    Hy! i want to start an adult tube, and i am stuck on chosing the hosting.
    Do you have any ideas? what should i need? a vps? a dedicated server? which one are the best?What hosting company do you have in mind , that has at least 200-300 Gb space? Maybe the first month free, would be too much? :)
    I would like something cheap at first , but to have the option to increase, as the site grows...
    thanks

    what does your script require? software-wise I mean. If it isn't too much then you could start off with a shared and then go to a vps then dedicated as the site grows

    and any shared host offering you 200-300gb space is overselling and you shouldn't trust them at all. They'll shut you down without hesitating. VPS on the other hand is a bit more secure. Just depends on what you want to do.

    For 300GB space, don't think any VPS are suitable for your need, you should be check for dedicated servers.
    Then for a first month trial check out the burstnet offers, they give a free 1 month trial.

    1. How that is legal?
    2. As recommendation to get start - VPS. I suppose that is the right solution for the ones who just getting started with such content like yours
    Good luck

    Video websites grow really fast, so I would say you jump into a low end dedicated server. Make sure you get a lot of bandwidth because video sites will eat it all up :).

    Thanks guys for all your replies. Yes z28legend im gonna upload the videos.Njoker555, the script is adultwatch .30, and it requires the usual FFmmeg,Mplayer,Mencoder.....I think that Buymesome, is right, and i should start with the dedicated server, because they grow really quick
    What are the best dedicated server providers, around?

    You'll need at LEAST a dedicated server with an unmetered line or you're asking for crazy bandwidth overages. Don't let anyone else tell you different, a VPS will not suite your needs, shared hosting is absolutely out of the question.

    EDIT:

    You posted right before me, what kind of budget are you working with for your dedicated server?

    I can t belive it , how many responses i ve recived on this thread. And also , i can t belie it , how many scammers are on this thread also. One of them is z28legend . he contacted me first, on my Ym, with the user.vipchoiches. he made me a super offer with "Dual Quadcore 16GB RAM, 10 x 1.5 TB HDD SCSI Unlimited Bandwidth, 10 IPs, op system Windows 2003 Web Edition or Linux ", with only 500$ a year. of course money paid in advance, for 1 year.When he saw that i have refused him , he contacted me with a second username "sourpatched", saying that he saw my thread, and giving me a "better deal" : Core2Quad Q6600 with 16gb ram ddr3, 10 TB total harddrive *10x 1tb harddrives, 15k rpm * Bandwidth 1TB * , 25 IP's , only at a one time fee of 1000$. And i would have to send him 500$ first, and after 1 month , i will send him another 500$
    I refused him also, so then comes a third user "hoardrobert" , which this time is selling a VPS! 160 GB \ 5000Gb Bandwidth, 4gb ram, 15+ ip's, LInux & free setup!, 300$ for 6months. Of course money paid in advance. I refused him also
    Today , i told him, (to the first user) that i have found a new host. He offered to sell me 16gb ram, 500gb hdd with 250$, beacsue he buyed a new server. the funny thing is , that the first time, he said he wants the moey for bills. Now, he already bought one :)
    he even showed me this site www.freeadultmedia.com , telling me that he and his friend developed it, and sold it for 20k on 22 december.
    What do you think guys? Is it ok for this to happen?

    how much does a site made of scripts like BITSVIDEO take?? these kinds of scripts just show videos from redtube.com ,dailymotion.com , etc. any special requirements for these sites?? how can you feel secure about the money you have invested for a dedicated server ?? how can one be sure that the person from which he is gonna buy dedicated server is not scam??:(
