Dreamhost sounds pretty great (!), and i'll probably move over to them ASAP; but perusing their features has raised some questions regarding hosting videos... namely their feature for Quicktime Streaming (which they point out is NOT support for live broadcasting) vs. how i've been delivering movies for years, via HTTP on my own site, with .mov files enclosed in html pages. For vloggers, is there any benefit (or detriment) to utilizing the host's QT streaming (Darwin) server? You have to make your movie "hinted", and you need to create and upload to a specific subdomain. Heck, i have so many archived movies, i'd prefer to just d/l my whole site from the old server and upload it as-is to Dreamhost; but i want to make sure that there's no downside as to how they host HTTP video files, as compared to other hosts.... in other words, do they offer Quicktime Streaming in order to make up for some deficiency in how HTTP video files are handled on their server? Please excuse my ignorance of the technology here, but before i sign up and begin the process, i want to rule out any unforeseen hassles. And i think i'm still happily in shock about the new pricing(!) (as compared to what i currently pay Hummingbird Hosting.)
So if anyone could explain the QT streaming vs. HTTP situation, i'd be most appreciative! And Matt, thanks for the Dreamhost referral! if i sign up, i'll be sure to use your referral promo code. $50 off any plan as well? (or is this just the waiving of the set-up fee?) cheers!
