Explicit Adult Hosting For Video Sharing Website

Can you please help me?
Video Sharing Script
Jan 1, 2009Does anyone know any video sharing script that allows me to display videos from [url]and [url] on my site.
I am not looking for a script that allows my users to upload videos to my site, but a script that uses the [url] and [url]to search and display videos.
Host For Video Sharing
Aug 28, 2008First things first, we haven't even figured out if we're going to use clipshare, clipbucket or phpmotion for this project. We're going to build a video sharing site where people can share their videos or post direct links to youtube clips etc. Any other ideas or script recommendations are gladly accepted
Now, the hardware part. VPS's at dreamhost cost $15 a month which sounds nice, but how reliable are they? Based on my readings here at WHT, dreamhost and seperate mysql/site servers don't work too well over there. I'll happily pay more if I know what I'm getting is reliable and 100% functional without a lot of uptime problems and server issues.
I have a Hostgator account but they don't support video sites on shared/reseller so we'd have to go dedicated with them. I don't see the point in going dedicated when the site isn't even launched.
So, I guess a VPS it is unless anyone else has another suggestion. Who can tell me about the "big" hosts in the game with the most reliable VPS solutions?
New Video Sharing Site
Jan 11, 2008I am in the beginning stages a new video sharing site (intend to use Clip Share) which will pertain to sports. I have reserved the domain name, filed a trademark application for the name, have the ideas for what I wish to accomplish BUT need help with the design of the site, setup, the administration, hosting, etc, etc....
I will need necessary server, bandwidth, management of site and server and speed with the ability to handle potential high traffic. I HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM Timihosting.com and Infrenion.com.
ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH EITHER ENTITY?
Video Sharing Website ..
Sep 5, 2008I'm creating a video sharing network. It's a project that I've invested quite a bit of money in.
At the moment my hosting (other projects) are with Rackspace UK purely because their hosting is fantastic.
The majority of my traffic will be U.S. based so I'm looking for a solution there where bandwidth is much cheaper (than the UK).
This is a serious project and I expect a couple of hundred users to start testing the site from day 1. Obviously as we grow we will need more bandwidth etc.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience of this kind of project and if so, what advice you could offer relating to hosting solutions.
We must be with a hosting company that offers lightning support. That's why I'm currently with Rackspace but their hosting is very expensive.
Where To Host A Video Sharing Website
Jun 15, 2008I am planning to start a web-site in which video-sharing(video-hosting) is going to be the primary concept. I need support for a very CPU and RAM instensive program called 'ffmpeg'. I also need a minimum of 2.5TB of disk space and 15TB of bandwidth every month. I tried looking for an ideal host all over the web, but I am more confused than ever.

May 6, 2008I am having a video sharing website designed. It's not going to be too busy to start with but I appreciate it will use a lot of bandwidth. I wont be offering the embed option so maybe that will limit the strain.
Any ideas on a good US-based host that can offer me a dedicated and managed solution with fast and friendly support? Any ideas of a monthly cost for a start-up?
Minimum Requirements For Video Sharing Site
Jul 12, 2008Im trying to host a video sharing site. I have been through 2 hosts that told me they support the files that i need (i.e. flvtool2, mencoder, mplayer, ffmpeg, etc.) Come to find out that they dont. Now i am in need of a new host that supports this. I have researched different ones but to make a decision i need this answer:
For a video sharing site just starting out what is the recommended bandwidth, data transfer, and disk space to run this site? I just want to start small and i will expand if the growth permits it. I just dont want to jump in feet first not knowing the outcome.
Server For A Video/file Sharing Website
Mar 10, 2008I have no intention of trying to make some video/file sharing website.
Some people might recognize me as being somewhat cynical in my replies to the people who post these sorts of messages.
What I'm curious about is, after having occasionally told people "You'll make significantly more money throwing the money you intend to waste on this project into a traditional investment..." I still see new people every week asking for the same help.
Now, I understand very few people are going to give up their dream and just throw in the towel because some random guy says their dream is stupid, they are stupid, and may god have mercy on their soul...
But, I don't (always) necessarily try to dissuade people from starting this sort of project simply to be a prick.
What I'd like to find out is if there are any people out there who've created a successful video/file sharing website who'd like to help others out...
Like, what advice they would have for people who want to get into starting a similar site.
How much bandwidth does your site use?
What's the URL?
How are you making money from the site?
How long did it take for your site to make a profit?
etc etc...
Alternatively, if you've tried to start a video/file sharing website and given up on those plans...
Why did you end up giving up?
What problems did you run into?
Windows VPS Needed For Video Sharing Site
Oct 22, 2008I think I have spent over 20 hours searching for an adequate Windows VPS package, only to find terrible reviews of each company I find. I have little-to-zero experience in programming and web development, but I had an idea for a video sharing site that I am seeing through. SO, I hired a programmer friend of mine to develop the site, only to discover he works exclusively with ASP. That has caused frustration, since I would have probably gone with KnownHost long ago.
good Windows VPS for a new video-sharing site, meaning there won't be many users for the first 3-6 months (so 10GB or less disk space should even be enough). I need fast transfer times, mysql, and streaming video capabilities. My friend is utilizing his own CMS, so not sure if I need plesk or the like.
Sites I've been looking at: UltraHost, JodoHost, 3dgwebhosting, WebIntellects. My budget, sadly, is no more than $60/mo, but that's just for the first few months since I don't expect many visitors and don't want to waste money on features I won't need yet.
I am asking for any advice, preferably from third-party users (not companies themselves) on what is the most reliable, features-oriented site that will suit my early needs.
For File And Video Sharing : Dedicated Or Joyent / Amazon S3
Apr 28, 2008I'm building a kind of a file sharing site also with video conversions ( convert a full DVD to flash and stream) and if i can find more ideas, even more features. It won't be free (i'm not sure which way to go though, subscription-based or pay per bandwidth + storage) and it will support download managers. I'm not sure which way to go : Joyent or dedicated servers with RAIDs. If i distribute files over servers, and a users wants the files to be converted to flv etc., it will increase the server load, ( and if i put a lot of users in 1 server it will increase the load even more) so it won't be very good.
So i thought SAN for this, but couldn't find any hosts serving it ( especially for a reasonable price ). Joyent is close enough (Amazon S3 is very very expensive), but although bandwidth and storage prices seem good, server power is low ( and very expensive if higher ) Which way should i go?
Video Sharing Site - How To Handle Bandwidth And Storage Requirements
Dec 25, 2007I will be starting a targeted (niched) video sharing site in the next couple weeks. I know it will require loads of space/bandwidth. My budget is under $450/month.
plan out an effective hosting strategy which will keep the costs low, while giving my providing a fast and reliable viewing experience for my visitors?
Somebody suggested going with Amazon S3 once traffic starts to pick up. But I don't understand how it works. (there is also something called amazon Ec2.. what the heck is the difference )
If I start with say a dual Xeon dedi box, with 2000GB bandwidth, can I serve all my videos/files through amazon while the conversion takes place on the dedicated server? In that case, how would I transfer the files from the dedi box to amazon? Is this even possible?
Could somebody please clarify the whole process? I am expecting about 1000 hits a day within 3 weeks, if they each watch a 200MB video a day... that's a lot of bandwidth!
File Sharing Hosting
Oct 16, 2009Im doing an iphone app related to audio recording. I would like for the user to be able to share these recordings on twitter/facebook. Since you can't encode to mp3 (licensing issue i think), I'll have to do it server side, and then host those mp3s for some period of time (week or month).
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend an inexpensive hosting solution I should look at. Most of the cheaper hosting plans I see would probably consider this as file sharing and not allow it in their TOS.
I thought I would be able to use google appengine, and pay only for whats used... but since it doesn't do direct disk access I don't think there's a way for me to convert to mp3 with them.
Proper Hosting Configuration And Company For A File Sharing Website
May 14, 2009We had written a free file sharing website like rapidshare,2shared,4shared n .... .
We let people add as many file as they want to upload.
People also search and browse among files.

How much should the configuration be? i mean How much Ram?
We need to add extra hard disks in the close future.
Maybe sometime we need to add clustering and ... .
Please tell me in detail about the initial configuration needed to run this website so we ll be sure that the site will never be down or lacks of hard disk and ram or CPU.
and tell me your experience in best dedicated services with online support which will be good friends.

Hosting Options For Video
Sep 30, 2008Just curious if any of you know of good ways to handle the bandwidth costs associated with hosting high traffic video sites.
For a future project I plan a dedicated server, but was hoping there might be a cheap way to avoid bandwidth costs - such as Amazon S3 (however from my calculations this is an expensive option).
Where Do I Go For Video Streaming Hosting
Aug 5, 2008I produce video. My clients want to put education archival video content (Windows media) for students on the web. At most 10 students a day will log on for a few hours.
I also have clients that want live windows media video streaming. Up to 50 users logging in at most for a 3 hour lecture, only a couple times a year at this point.
I'd like to use one company for the archival(on demand) and live web casting/streaming. Any ideas? Or should I just use 2 different hosting companies? Please tell me companies that you like and have used!
Video/Movie Hosting
Aug 14, 2008i would like to start a video/movie streaming website on one of our U.S based servers. But i wanted to do some checking first.
These are the questions i have:
1. If i download torrent movies to my local PC am i allowed to upload them to our server? or if i have purchased the movie at home on dvd am i allowed to upload that onto the site? or is all that illegal?
2. Would this type of thing be useful?
I got the idea from those TV show websites around but when you try to watch the actual show there is all Japanese subtitles and they are full of adds and pop up's

Streaming Video Hosting -- Non-Profit
Apr 29, 2009I work for an NFP and have multiple video files I'd like to setup on my current webserver. As you can guess, i don't have the sufficient bandwidth to support the traffic.
What's the best/most cost-efficient option? What would be ideal is to embed a player into our webpages (similar to what youtube provides) and the streaming is done in the background by the hosting provider. Obviously, there are legal issues around putting this content on any of the free or public video-sharing sites.
Is this something VPS can do or are there separate options?
We're not looking for domain names, IP's or much sophistication other than just hosting the video files and providing us with instructions/code on how to embed inside our existing website.

Video Streaming And Hosting Site
Mar 22, 2008I'm the owner of pwn-tube.com and am looking for a dedicated server. It needs to have at least a 250gb hard drive, preferably two in raid. The processor needs to be good enough to convert the files while still keeping a site up and going. For RAM I'm guessing 2-4GB. But most importantly it needs to have unmetered bandwidth, and a 100mbps port, with room to upgrade.
I am expecting to host a sequel to a video exclusively, and the first video had 100,000 views. I'm also going to partner up with a game publisher with 16 million gamers.
