I need hosting for a small legal tube network. The site(s) will consist of videos from 3 to 10 minutes, licensed full length content will come later ...not sure on the duration of the movies, I'm guessing up to 30 minutes. TubeX is the back-end script.
I figured starting with a dedicated server now and as the sites grow, my network expands - I'll be ready.
I've gotten a lot of good responses so far and a few recommendations, keep them coming. I'm looking to decide by the end of the week.
That's basically it people.
Requirements for TubeX below:
Must Have
- Unix or Linux based server
- PHP 5.2.0+
- ionCube Loader
- PHP Extensions:
JSON, DOM, SimpleXML, MySQL, PCRE
- MySQL 4.1.0+
For Video Thumbnails & Conversion
- PHP safe_mode off
- PHP open_basedir off
- PHP shell_exec() available
- PHP CLI or CGI version available
- mencoder
- mplayer
- ffmpeg
- yamdi
- MP4Box
For Video Uploads
- PHP file_uploads on
- PHP upload_max_size at least 20MB
- PHP post_max_size at least 25MB
Optional (but highly recommended)
- PHP GD extension
- PHP cURL extension
- ImageMagick installed on server
- Access to cron on server
Control Panel Requirements
- Modern Web Browser
- Firefox 3+
- Internet Explorer 8+
- Safari 4+
Other Recommendations
- A VPS or dedicated server is recommended if you want to do video conversion
