Need Help finding Hosting for Video Streaming

    I would like to have about 70 (divx) files x235mb on some server where I pretty much have unlimited bandwidth.

    I do have copy rights to those files yet currently I am using between 500-700gb bandwidth and no hosting wants to deal with me.

    They all say, yeah we have unlimited bandwidth but thats not true.

    Any thoughts what I could do?

    Currently I uploaded 40 files to veoh, but I don't want them to make money from me and I don't want people to be blocked from other countries or download veoh tv.

    suggest if you don't want to be banned go with a larger host that is known to support overselling and wont' ban you moment you go over 100gb bandwidth. try bluehost or netfirms, or surpasshosting.

    strongly advise against finding "unlimted everything" hosts you find on these forums, unless they invented a new unlimited storage harddrive and unlimited megabit internet connection when i wasn't looking ;)

    i think you're asking for trouble. once again, with the unlimited everything.

    basically, stop falling for the whole unlimited trick.

    for quota, sure you can get enormous quotas and some are actually half trustworthy - if they are enormous companies. for individuals and 15 year old kids hosting from their bedrooms you'll have your account violate some unwritten rule within days and *poof* goes your account.

    if these videos are important to you or making you money, no harm in spending the $5-$10/month (which is what i'm guessing your budget is?) and going for something that's "limited" but at least hopefully reliable.

    You really should go with a dedicated or VPS.

    i second that, not suggested before as i thought it fell outside your price range...

    if you can put $30+ for a vps, strongly recommend it.

    dedicated or VPS is very expensive. Especially if your just starting up.
