Your problem is twofold. One is throughput as you're
saying. The second and harder problem is montly transfer
limitations. I've spent quite a while researching hosting
providers, and nobody offers more than 4 terabytes transfer for
$200/mo, and about half that for $100/mo. It doesn't take long
serving video times to chew up 2 to 4 terabytes amongst a group of
vloggers (one highly linked video could blow that for everyone).
There are no dedicated server options that I have been able to find
(that doesn't mean they don't exist, but not at the 30 or so providers
I've looked at), that offer anything that comes close to the amount of
bandwidth I'd want to share amongst a group of vloggers. You'd
think that if $10/mo buys you 1 TB on a shared managed server, that
$100/mo would get you 10TB on a dedicated server (probably more since
you're responsible for managing it yourself), but it just isn't the
case.

whats the data pipe at dreamhost like?
if i can get 300-400mb/sec data rate on a dedicated hosting plan, what can i get from a $10 per month dreamhost plan?
this
is the performance issue... the BIG issue in my opinion. and the
primary issue behind the interest in this idea.... i think.
does dreamhot throttle data rate? fat pipes are better ;-)
