Hey, im new here and i apologize if I didnt post this in the right forum. I'm starting a community video sharing website. I will be using ClipBucket. I'm having some trouble finding suitable hosting. Right now I want something fairly cheap (~10/mo) that until a greater need arises. I know that with these types of sites you need certain software on the server like ffmpeg. Well ive been searching for that ffmpeg hosting and I cant seem to find anything with offers enough disk space and bandwidth for a video site, 15/150 i think is just not enough. Ive seen lots of great deals or normal shared hosting but I was wondering if these will be compatible with the type of site im making? and if the host doesnt have the the software installed are they generally willing to install it? Otherwise can someone make some host suggestions. Thanks
Well if you dont want to get suspended page after 1 month than better go for dedicated server.I have tested bluehost/lunarpages/hostgator with a website that generated about about 100 GB/Day and all of them kicked me for some stupid reasons.I would recommend fdcservers.net for dedicated server and their fast support.If you still want shared hosting than use dreamhost cos they oversell but they wont suspend you for stupid reasons and they have great and fast support.
Hey, I think that you can be offered a shared deal but it will not last enough to see your site raising as you will be suspended. Such a configuration needs at least VPS but better be a dedicated server. This way you will have all the resources you may need from the beginning and will know how to develop your website growth efficiently. Good Luck A.
Thanks for the responses guys. I sent Dreamhost an email to find out if they will allow such a site. I have been looking into VPS and dedicated servers but I find them too expensive at this time for my needs. Hopefully I can find something soon.
You need to get a good hosting service before your site becomes big b/c most hosts will suspend usage like that.
youtube currently gets 10 videos per minute and uses about the same bandwith as the entire internet itself and it is nonprofit
