I'm looking into a Video site hosted on wordpress and want to know the best way to go about setting up. Should I host via youtube (is a private area avaialble) or can anyone recommend a file hosting solution online?
You can do either way. If you host on your server its heavy and costly. I would suggest to host via youtube like here - www.nepalivdo.com
I like the site at nepalivdo.com , it looks a lot like the type of thing I'm hoping to achieve. Can you tell me what plugin you used on Wordpress to acheive this or was it a particular template?
