I would recommend a VPS Package or a dedicated server. But, since you are just starting out.. I would choose a VPS Package, so you can save money.
Shared port = thousand of sites sharing that speed. That's a good connection since the average of a server is 100Mbps. Aniway, bandwidth isn't the only thing needed for a website
take a look at hostv.com (for VPS), it is the same company of critexhosting (for shared hosting). Had a auto installer for tube sites. adult allowed. I had a shared hosting account with them.. So far it is ok.
if thousands of site...lets think 1000 sites share 1000MBPS then every site should get only 1 MBPS its not good
You can reach up to more than 900MBPS when you need. You are not restricted to 1MBPS. I will recommend you a custom made shared hosting plan for you since it will be the best option and provide you the best possible speed.
They use dedicated server and ofc if you need your video to stream fast enuff you will need 1gbps port.. I did try with 100mbps port and the result is.. loading was really slow if you have like 100 ppl streaming at the same time and yes you need unmetered bw.. 1 day average for 60mb video with 30 online average is about 1tb ++..
If you want to get the site running well, I suggest a VPS or Dedicated Server If you need any of those, contact me via PM and we can speak via MSN too, Cya
If you are just Starting, go for shared hosting as for first 2-3month you won't have much traffic. when you start getting popular then you can migrate to VPS. so get a shared hosting package which support multimedia sites and pay monthly so you can upgrade anytime Remember choose a webhost which has FFMPEG/Mencoder etc installed as video sharing site needs all these tools to run.
never go to santrex, their speeds are ridiculous. they sabotage the speed, so that you will ask to terminate that crap. then they say they dont give refund. do not go to santrex. i even had trouble importing my sql database, some guy said i should upload it to him, i still havent heard from him. dont use santrex. if u have a big site with a huge database, dont even bother, cuz u gonna have lots of problems, ask them for their php info
