Best to embed or host vids for tube site?

Hey guys,

I recently started a tube site for an amateur niche. I've got a decent domain name and I'm using wordpress with the adultsiteskins skin and it's looking alright so far! I've also got some ads up from loadedcash, crakrevenue and juicy's mobile redirect. I only have 20 odd videos up at the moment, as I hand-pick each one and write a 100-150 word description for each, so it's time consuming (though I'm thinking of outsourcing the writing) - especially with a full time job!

I'm hoping that the quality of the videos + unique descriptions will encourage people to revisit and spread the word, as well as be favoured by Google.

Anyways, I had a query with regards to the hosting or the embedding of videos. Atm I have a basic package from hostgator (like 8 bucks a month or something) and I embed from the major tube sites, but I'm wondering if I should just switch to a bigger package and start to host my own videos. I do plan on becoming an authority site for this niche (whether that happens or not remains to be seen :P) so I'm wondering if I should just make the switch now, whilst I don't have that much of a backlog of videos. Or should I wait for a bit and see how things pan out?

If you do recommend hosting my own vids, what would be the best way to go about getting them? Atm most of my vids are just embedded from pornhub, would I just use a tube ripper - or are there better methods?

Any help is much appreciated - thanks all!
