best company for video streaming?
    #7893328 - 01/17/08 02:50 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

You guys know any hosting companies that can provide cheap video streaming abilities (like wmv or mov files?) ...

I'm basically doing work on a site for a film festival and they want playable movie trailers on the site which is something I don't have too much experience with this kind of stuff. I can load wmv, and mov files and use the EMBED tag to embed quicktime or windows media player into a page, but as far as figuring out the best way to stream and cache it with BANDWIDTH in mine isn't really my cup of tea.

I've got a couple accounts with various web hosting companies (dreamhost and intermedia) and they provide me with 200-250GB of monthly transfer... which COULD be enough... but I'd rather not take any chances... If that bandwidth even just DOUBLES and I go over my allocation by 200GB I'll get assraped for like 200-300 bucks for that month.

Anyone know any companies that are more geared towards hosting and streaming video files?

I set up a feature on my old personal site once that let people upload wav and mp3 files (was a forum for electronic musicians to swap audio files) but it ended up being a breeding ground for people swapping MP3's... I got friggin 200K hits in one year. I found out how popular my site was when one day I got a bill for 200+ bucks for a single month (which normally is only 9 bucks a month)

Well shit.,.. I actually just found out that my 9 buck a month plan from dreamhost gives me..

6 TERABYTES bandwidth per month!!! as well as a quicktime streaming server and the ability to convert avi/mov/mpeg/mpg files to flash.

I think 6 Terabytes a month might be enough.. god damn

...

I also just realized that I might as well just use YOUTUBE if things get too crazy... A timy watermark in the corner of the video is a small price to pay for letting someone else get charged all the bandwidth

I guess you have a few options.
You could upload all the files to a third party host like say "adrive.com" and then embed the content into a page so it will stream...that way it won't use YOUR bandwidth, it will use the third party (adrive.com is completely FREE as well).

OR,

You could fork out a few bucks and build your own site.
Like the first comment said, you can get a few decent deals on hosting, if you shop around.
You could always host through these guys and get hosting for as low as 4.44/month (and if you do this, you can register a domain name for FREE).
They have a TeraBit package, with a terabit of storage, and a terabit of transfer/month, and it only works out to about $53/year INCLUDING the FREE domain name.

It's always an option
