    Upload it to youtube or get an account at Amazon S3 and then embed the video on the page.

    I tried and it didn't work for me so I started an account at Amazon S3 and it is really really cheap.

    You could get a bigger hosting account, or maybe break up the video into part 1 and part 2 (provided it's not a total storage limit but rather an upload limit that is blocking you).

      I'm making a lot of assumptions, but if it's php, and your host allows custom php.ini files, you can create a file called "php.ini" in your web folder that contains this:

      Code:
      upload_max_filesize = 50M
post_max_size = 50M

      If custom inis are supported and your app is php, this will increase the size.

        It's a bunch of flash videos.

        I guess I can split up . zip into smaller sections rather than spending money on amazon or bigger hosting accounts...

    How are you uploading? If you are using cpanel, than there is a limit. If you want to get around this, use an FTP client like filezilla.

    Later,

    Most servers by default are actually set to 2mb in the config. If you have access to your config then you can edit it. If not just upload by ftp as you should not have a limit by ftp.

        Get a FTP program

        Free FTP client, secure file transfer software - download and install..

        Now go to login

        ftp.yourdomain.com

        Username: this is the same username used to login cpanel
        Password: this is the same password to login cpanel

        By default you will end up in the root of your server. Look for the folder public_html and double click it to open it. Now you should see files and folders that look familiar.

        Open the folder you want to put the videos in and drag and drop your vidoes in that folder.
