I am building a site for a client that is hosting a lot of high quality video clips. Most under 10 mins long, but several of them. I am building the site on wordpress and wondering what is the best most reliable host to use for hosting a lot of video. Can anyone make any recommendation of a host that would be good for this. Many Thanks, Brett.
Does its technical support function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (often abbreviated 24/7), all year around? Note that I will not accept a host which does not have staff working on weekends or public holidays.
I think you will need vps or dedicated server for quality services. Shared hosting may not allow you upload too many video files and the performance is not quite good.
I'd recommend hostome.com to use, they are offering high performance plans which is perfectly suitable for streaming
I would recommend a VPS to get started on. Then make sure you are selecting a hosting company that will grow with you as the site grows. There are lots of optimizations that can be done to the servers for wordpress to make it run smoothly. Make sure your host has done these.
