    Depends, Do you just want to host videos or set up a video site?

    Bluehost is an excellent host in terms of service, quality, and features, and I have been using them for the past 2 years and will renew for another 2 years this month.

    They are OK, but a little cluttered

    They can probably take it. I suspect they oversell a little bit, but they have an excellent reputation and are the 'fastest growing host', according to their CEO, who is well known in the hosting business.

    They do not have FFMPEG support though, so if you're site can work without that, then they are great.

    Hmm same question here, as I am considering BlueHost. ( Sorry for hijacking your thread Ruriko ;) ) How about Dot5Hosting? Do they have a good connection, speed? how about the free domain they provide how long are the registrations? I would appreciate it if anyone could answer. Thanks

    Bluehost has good speed and the free domain expires when your account does.
