    Hosting videos on VPS server

    I am thinking about hosting some lengthy but low quality videos on my vps server.

    What you think about, it is a bad idea?

    I will need something like 50gb space (it will be enough for more than one thousand clips).

    The website is getting over 10,000 visitors daily.

    Of course the budget is limited but it is still a better idea than embeding videos from tubes.

    Also what plugins/player for wordpress you suggest?

      What's your budget? How much bandwidth will you be using?

      I have a few i3 dedicated servers that I could unload for a good price.

          Come talk to me and lets get you setup on our vps, our clients love our speed and stability. We have others who also use the server to host videos on it. We have some great bandwidth prices and we can do all sorts of deals for you.

                  Probably your best bet is a cloud setup with multiple VPS instances on multiple hardware.

                  If you are serving videos globally look into a CDN option.

                  Having slow loading video clips will make you no money. if your demo product load times are slow why would people buy a paid service? If you are a freemium model dependent on advertising -- why would people wait for slow loading videos as compared to other freemium websites.

                  You have to be at least competitive in the top 25% in any market to be a viable player

                      Your bandwidth will be the issue - You will be better off with a dedicated server...

                          Dedicated servers do not always give you more bandwidth. You need to make a deal on the bandwidth per # mbits

                              Pickup a cheap KVM Leaseweb VPS...2 cores, 2 GB RAM, 60GB Disk Space, and 6 TB of bandwidth for $5.97/month (unmanaged) and their network is great. Use promocode SAVE40 to get that $5.97/month price.

                              I'm using it for Hiawatha web server and love it, the 6 TB of bandwidth is nice too.
