Re: [videoblogging] Re: Looking for the perfect host site....

with all due respect matt, I think you are deluding yourself here about the stability and (prolonged!) quality of service for paid vendors my rule of thumb: as soon as you find a great hosting site (paid or not), use it and start looking for another - it's just a matter of time before they grow too large and unresponsive in bother service and customer support one more thing: the cost of exceeding your bandwidth can be very nasty with some paid services - what does dream host do if you exceed allocation? it happened to Verdi when Dylan spiked if I recall. markus LeanBackVids.com wrote: In my opinion, there is nothing better than paid hosting. If planned and maintained, you do not have to worry about about links going bad since they live on a domain you own and control. As long as I continue to renew my domain name, I can be certain that my video links will be valid. Who knows what will happen to the free services. Of course I wish them the best, but I would have no control if they went dead or changed their linking structure. Also, the bandwidth from a paid services is usually much better than any of the free services. Speaking from past experience, I'd much rather visit a vlog that is not hosting their videos on a free service because my time to watch vids is limited. We're able to post 20-30MB movies and have them autostart and not stall on a high-speed connection. The same cannot be said for some of the free services. I'm a big fan of Dreamhost (as are many others here). The best part is they have a referral program that can eliminate your costs. Given all the time we spend on vlogging, what is $10 each month to have ripping fast downloads and high quality statistics? Two less lattes or two less beers could make your vlogging life easier. http://www.vlogmap.org/dreamhost.php -Matt --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Lossy Graham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi everyone, I'm just curious about what host sites you all use to upload your videos. I have tried Ourmedia and Vimeo and have found good things and bad things about each. Ourmedia is reliable, but very slow and a very complicated process that I don't mind doing but some others involved in my site are not too keen on. Vimeo is great because of it's simplicity, and the fact that it will convert wmv into Quicktime for you on the site, but it seems unreliable and it doesn't give much control on how it posts to your blog. Any suggestions for good sites?? Graham http://lossyvideo.blogspot.com/ ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Fair play? Video games influencing politics.
