    Yeah you will need LOTS and lots of bandwidth for a video sharing site - if it does get popular.

    You can buy a unique script or hire a company to make you one, that way you will stand out from the crowd.

    Be prepared to spend around $2200/year at a minimum for a dedicated server...

    IMO it's just not worth it when you look at the minimal income those sites make

    We host, design, and setup Video Share and Youtube Clone sites. We offer a complete turnkey solution for
    clients that want to have a youtube like website

    The Most Popular youtube script at the moment is PHPmotion And there are many add ons available so that it's easily customizable

    I haven't been here on the forum long enough to use a live link But this is our website www.HDvideohosting(dotcom)

    We offer a proportional use plan that puts you on our Dual Quad Core Xenon Server, 8 CPUs, which should be more then adequate to suit your need

    This allows you room to grow and you'll never be shut down because you have used to much Band Width.
    which is a common issue with most shared hosting companies that have video share sites


    All the software is pre-installed including a proprietary video encoder that gives you stunning quality if you have a fast enough connection

    When the time is right as a result of your site being popular will move you to your own dedicated server

    Here is a typical client site (wwwblu-rayhdm(dotcom) the video conversion process allows the client to adjust the settings to get the right results. Higher Quality video streams results in only viewers with fast internet connections being able to view them as they play; slower connections have to buffer or download the clip first.

    Check out the Rugby clip or Mystery of the Nile Shot in HD video on his site. It’s really easy to get quality when you just have a talking head but running water on the Nile video gives you an idea how good the quality can be check it out at full screen

    So if you want a free 30 day test drive in return for you review just let me know

    What we have found that in most cases clients that have dedicated servers dont use the monthly allocated bandwith

    As far as "Unlimited BW" it can't be done because the size of the port will always limt the amount of BW going thru the pipe. Typically in a shared situation you can never be sure how many other users you will be sharring with.
    Overselling BW is a huge issue in the hosting business


    Depending on how much traffic you plan on getting you may want to consider dedicated unmetered 10mbp/s port which gives you a little over 3TB per mo . There are options at 20 & 50

    If that seems like it may not be enough you can get a plan with a Dedicated 100 mbp/s port ( only 10-$20.00 a month more then a 10mbp/s port)at say 2TB a month but when you start to go over that amount you just pay for the overage. Because it's dedicated you can push as much as 33 TB a month. If you have any other questions just let me know.

    The cost of Bandwidth is directly tied into how much traffic you are receiving.
    As you Video Share website gets more popular you see a corresponding increase in Bandwidth
    as well as an increase in revenue to more then pay for the increase costs

    So you can start off at around $9.95 a month and as your video sharing site gets more popular you gradually use more bandwidth and pay accordingly.

    It’s a win win situation

    Let me know if you have anymore questions.
