Re: [videoblogging] Re: Advice about setting up site with downloadable video
They're a good company, excellent communication. The point (as far as I understand - I've not used it) of the files forever system is that, for a small extra fee, you can sell individuals permanent access, via a personalized key, to a file, possibly on a seperate dedicated server, that will continue even if your account should lapse - Anyone else with further experience? j At 23:52 2008-07-29, you wrote: Thanks Joly Do you use dreamhost for your hosting?

Depending on what you mean by available for download, host your files on http://blip.tv and embed the direct links on your site pages so people can download each format, mp4, Apple TV, iPod, 3gp, whatever. If you mean available for people to PAY YOU TO DOWNLOAD, you need a different solution. :) Bill Cammack http://billcammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, caminofilm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying a new venture.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Advice about setting up site with downloadable video
i'm in australia and use them. you get what you pay for. some downtime (very little but you always think its a big deal when it happens) and cheap. Like their attitude: carbon neutral efforts, donations to charity, free hosting for registered not for profits, happy to put my money to a company that behaves like that.

Great to know Adrian.
