Free Private Video Hosting?

14 years ago

Who in their right mind would offer such a service?

If you want security you pay for it.

That being said, there may be somebody out there who
is either smart enough or dumb enough to believe they can
somehow not lose money offering free private video hosting
on a less restricted basis than YouTube, which is losing
close over 100 million dollars a year.

Thanks

Maybe someone who figures that if he offers great service and delivers, he would get people who have tons of videos to use his service?

I mean this is for a personal need so there is no need to have infinite amount of hosting, bandwidth etc.

For example, motion box offer kind of the service that I'm looking for (they are better than YT in my opinion), however they quickly run out of bandwidth or number of views- if I'm not mistaken.

I believe only Viddler offers this feature with their business plan (starts at $100/mth).

Otherwise, start hosting them yourself using Wordpress by converting the movies to FLV using Riva and displaying them using the HANA FLV Player plugin.

$100/month? Hmm.. That's a bit pricey..

Yeah I think I'm going to host myself. With the baby plan hosting at hostgator, you are supposed to have unlimited space and bandwidth, however I still don't really know if unlimited really means unlimited.

After all it's a shared server..

Any other opinions?

Thanks

Ya Viddler can do it. A fellow warrior Alan Petersen has a short report on how to do it.
Search his name, i'm pretty sure it's in his sig.

Wistia Private Video Hosting for Business Hands down! The best private video host there is, plus they give you the first 3 for free. They don't how ever have an affiliate program so you know I'm not promoting them to make money. Just helping a fellow warrior.

Wistia has the best reporting and SEO capabilities as well. If you want your video in the search results they have video sitemap capabilities. They kick every ones @$$ check them out!

The other option if you can handle the tech part and is by far the least expensive is using amazon s3, coudfront and the encoder to serve to every device there is. This is also by far the fastest video serving solution there is and what many of the sites serving video as a service like wistia uses. Not saying wistia uses amazon but you could create a service with the power of amazon cloud just like wistia and never run out of bandwidth.You only pay for what you use and the edge servers run flash media server. These servers are placed all over the world and will grab resources nearest the end user. Pretty awesome!

If anyone has any questions, I'd be glad to help

Thanks

You have just posted a response to a thread that is 3.5 years old, so that you could drop a link to your website.

This kind of behavior is enough to get your posts deleted, and potentially your wf account suspended.
