What is the best web host for TV show sites?

    I heard Cirtex allows for TV show sites that link their videos, but not host them. What other web hosts allow this?

    Any web host will allow it as long as you aren't breaking any laws.

    ... which in this case is breaking the law. TV shows are still copyrighted content even if available on free-TV, so unless you have an explicit permission from the copyright holder (usually the TV channel), no hosting company that wants to stay out of trouble will allow you to host or link to the TV shows or any copyrighted content.

    You can look for a host with servers in Russia, Switzerland, Holland, etc. Don't ask me why, I've just seen that a few hosts have their servers in these countries and allow copyrighted material.

    It can never be stressed to highly enough that nowadays, cheap web hosting plans does not necessarily mean poor quality and service. Compare any possible places and choose the best for your needs.

    I suppose that there are many web hosting providers that can be suitable for your needs, but you know, not all of them are reliable..
    Be 100% sure that the host you are going to deal with is reliable.

    Hi, I believe you can use any host with high performance so there are a huge list of options for you. What specs do you need?

    I believe that you should look at your current usage and double it at least, triple is even better because coming half way through the month and running out of bandwidth is probable the worst thing you can do for your website.
