So, I want to host my own FLV and Mp4 files

Is rackhost's cloud media hosting plan that uses (cdn) address the best for just this type of stuff?
http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files/pricing/

or

Digital Ocean?

Let mek now your experiences.

Thanks

Unless you need a lot of bandwidth (more than 3TB/month) DigitalOcean is the best solution. That's what I use at this moment for streaming my videos and it's definately the cheapest.

isn't it against Digital Ocean TOS to use their VPS service as CDN? streaming from other servers is treated as using it as CDN, i guess. unless your website is also hosted there, of course.

Streaming video is allowed as long as it's legal.

Yeah, CDN services are really overrated. For small sites VPS might do the trick and for medium/big sites dedicated servers get the job done for much less price than CDN.

exactly...
CDN is good for site design elements (.jpg, .gif, .png. .css, .js) to speed it up.
As for video streaming you don't need it really...
