Who can host "mini YouTube"?

    I am new here and hope somebody can give me a few hints. I am soon launching a website with many hours of video and maybe many visitors will come. After a few weeks maybe 10.000 daily visitors watching 10-20 minutes of videos, 200GB daily transfer and growing to ... who knows. It is NOT adult site. Do you know good webhosts for me? I have been recommended Wordpress and c-panel to go with the site.
    Thank you!

    These web hosts are called media content hosts. I think if you do some search for this kind of web hosting you will be able to find a lot of companies offering that.

    hostgator would suspend that faster than you can blink.

    What the OP wants can only be hosted on a dedicated server, not on shared hosting or VPS.
    And in order to give out 200GB bandwidth per day it would need to be on a 1Gbps connection.

    For cheap solution, look for atom server and install ffmpeg on it yourself.
    Or, you can just go to webhostingtalk.com and look for an offer there.

    I agree, if your hosting needs require that much bandwidth and server resources then one would need start out at least with a VPS.

    I would suggest you go with a ded box. Dedicated servers are very affordable these days.
