    1/ How much space do you think you will need all up?
    2/ What type of movies are we talking about?
    3/ Do you have any idea of your traffic volumes?

    Hi,

    It is good that they are not adult movies and also that it is not pirated content, as that would limit your choice of hosts.

    Also since you are just starting out with presumably a tight budget we would suggest you look for a hi spec, high storage/traffic allowance shared plan to begin with. You can always progress from there to a VPS or Dedicated server later if warranted and when you have more to spend. But pick a host that offers you a plan with a reasonable quota of space and traffic allowance - not 'unlimited' as those type of plans tend to be over sold and subsequently causes your website to run slow.

    There are plenty of good hosts that can offer you a choice of on or offshore servers, just pick one with a 99.9% up time warranty and a 30 day or more money back guarantee so you can try them out risk free.

    Best of luck.

    @sal-designs

    Are you sure that they arent agianst Copy Right?? I think you are embedding new Films.... and Then You would need some Disclaimer too with Offshore. and many hosting providers doesnt take risk to host copyright content on the server.

    Even though you embedd, You would sure have a role in the process.

    Stay Safe, Have a Disclaimer + offshore Hosting

    Thanks

    yeah, Why not, I have written disclaimers for somesites for money ;)

    well here you go.

    Disclaimer : I here by disclaim here that all the videos and stuffs found on this website is not owned or ran be me, but are found on net. blah blah blah... so and so.. then at last. so here by i clear that I hold no responsibilty about the copy right issues and so. and the site which have it embeded will be the source for it.

    Like this it would go.. add some standerd, explin everything..! and it is done :)

    But without offshore, it wont do any help :)

    with Offshore, it would add you some security..

    Thanks

    Take a look at hostingpanama.com. I'm guessing you need an offshore hosting account since you're trying to get away from copyright laws due to your content? I'm not sure if you're immune to it by hosting offshore though. You said you don't need alot of space but you want to put ~250 movies on it? If each movie was 1 gig in size that is alot of space...

    All the best with your hosting search, but be careful publishing material which may be subject to copyright, especially movies.

    You said you wanted offshore web hosting. In this case do you have any preferences for the server location? I know a lot of people prefer NL. What would you prefer?
