There's more to this stuff than just bandwidth usage.

The biggest "tube" on the internet doesn't exactly "use" and "pay" for this stuff the way you and I will have to sign up and pay; If you are that large your company will acquire a cdn company to serve you needs, or have a very special contract agreement; this is worlds apart from where we live in...
anyway we are going down the rabbit hole here;
to the OP:
Since you have a host and you were planning to use that for your site all along, I would suggest three options - a) store your videos there then use cdn; b) get two umetered servers to store and stream the videos from there; c) get one dedicated server and have your entire site and videos there (in case your host is not dedicated);
Check which option works for your budget and start from there, if your project goes well and the big $$$ starts coming in you won't have troubles to expand.
Don't listen to people saying that you won't make anything, it all depends how good you are in it, some people make money from blogs, others from tgp's... and yes some people make money from tubes.
