A question I'd be asking, whoever you decide to buy server space from, is what kind of speed difference you'll see among all the different options.
see, this is pretty key, no?
i mean, there are 3 issues. storage space, monthly bandwidth allotment and SPEED! The latter is actually the main issue since the former 2 issues have been resolved for some time now (ourmedia, blip and dozens of others). But what is causing frustration in the vlogosphere? SPEED! So I ask, what does a $10 per month Dreamhost hosting service get you as far as mb/sec pipe?
Clint? Anyone know? I couldnt find that spec after briefly browsing dreamhost and other hosting provider sites. thanks for any insight on this.
regardless..... we have options today...all beeing discussed here. its nice to have reasonable options for vodcasting. these are good times. but will these times last? will dreamhost always be so generous? will blip get proper funding? will relying on companies be better than relying on concentrated consortiums of vloggers?
hey, either way, its a good conversation to have. nothing should be discouraged. this is an age of experimentation. we are all experimenting. i'd love to see ourmedia get funding and evolve. i'd love to see blip continue its success and get funded and help the culture. i'd love for 5, 10, 15 new similar projects emerge that respect the vlogosphere as blip and ourmedia do.
i'd love to see traditional web hosts continue to offer more space and bandwidth and performance. i'd love to see consortiums of content creators and community services work together for the same purposes. Its an ecology and we need ALL of these options. nothing should be discouraged. not here.

How much storage for each person?
how much bandwdith?
how would stats work?
If you got a Dreamhost dedicated server for $150 monthly + $150 setup:
-30 GB storage total
-4 TB data transfer
-Stats are given for each separate domain, no problem there.
So...if 10 people:
1st month = $30
Each month after = $15
3GB storage
400GB data transfer
----
Or the mega server at Dreamhost for $475 monthly + $475 setup:
-175 GB storage total
-10 TB data transfer
Say you get 30 people:
1st month = $31.67
Each month after = $15.83
5.8 GB storage
300 GB data transfer
Hmm, those bandwidth amounts don't look so hot compared to the 1TB you get when you buy a cheap hosting plan at Dreamhost. On the other hand, I don't know how many people are actually pushing 1TB per month. Maybe the thing to do is only accept people into the co-op that you know won't go over the limit. Otherwise I think things could get tricky, setting bandwidth controls on individual domains etc.
You'll need someone to monitor and admin the server. Maybe it's a rotating volunteer position?

I hope this stuff takes off. It's a good idea.
I just happen to be researching all these things this weekend.
With that said, if anyone knows any kind millionaires who want to fund a project, please have them make out a check payable to Adam Quirk.
Ok,
