Hosting For Music And Video That Is Owned But Copyright Protected
Feb 5, 2009
have built quite a library of music now. It would be great if I could upload music to my hosting account, and then just access it from my phone. Would that be allowed so long as I did not share this music with others? Where might I be able to set this up? I checked with hostgator and they said it was not okay.
I'm starting a video/music streaming network and I'm wondering should I stick to American hosts or go overseas to say the Netherlands? Which would be able to offer me a bit more bandwidth for a reasonable price?
Also, if there are any top hosts here that could offer some nice bandwidth for this type of service for a reasonable price, let me know about them to.
Does anyone own any video sharing websites? if so what hosting companies do you use. I cant afford a dedi yet as i want to grow but want to start out with VPS or shared
I have a client who wants to build a subscription online training site. This site will be hosting proprietary videos that need to be streamed (vs. downloaded).
Can anyone recommend a reliable hosting provider that:
Supports ecommerce
Supports streamed Flash video
Provides a way to control user's access to videos (only access what they've purchased)
Just 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).
I 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!
i 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
is their any hosts out thier that are ideal for online video sharing websites (youtube clones) that are good for the added load of bandwith and HD size needed for these situations.
I'm trying to find a good webhost/serverhost where any videos I create will not take forever to view. I have a few videos I made and want to upload them to my server but sometimes it takes way too long for the video to run
Currently, I'm with hostmonster.com but they only offer one package so I dont know if I can have faster/more bandwidth.
I'm not sure if we're leaning on dedicated or VPS yet, but as a starter post, what's a webhoster you guys would recommend for a hosting company that is reliable and robust that we can scale with....as our requirements grow.
We're currently scripting how the new site will be redesigned, but there will be video blog portion that we expect to cheap up bw.
Hi Im new to this and about to launch a site where visitors to the site can upload videos and then they can be checked by me and then submitted to the site. Im looking for a hosting account which wont be madly expensive.
Ive heard about unmetred etc, but ive also heard about being charged large bills for excessive bandwidth etc..
Can anyone recommend a good solution to me that wont literally cost the earth?

I 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.

I'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.
I have a client how want a website that his can go to and view their house/business from video surveilance camera. What type of hosting service do I need.
I wanted to build an Adult Video Sharing and i don't know what hosting to buy some say that VPS some says Shared Hosting
Here is my Plan
1. i will not upload videos from my site i'm just planning to embed videos from others site like redtube, youporn etc. so that i will minimize my bandwidth from my site.
2. i want to create many site like 5 site with my 1 hosting plan
3. my budget is $10/mo below because i will just start from this business so i don't have a high budget for this business.
my question is that.
1. embedding videos from other site will not eat the bandwidth of my site right? (just to make sure)
2. is ffmpeg really needed if i will just embed videos from other site?
3. what plan will i choose VPS some says Shared Hosting?
4. can you help me find or do you own a business like what i planning to do. and can share it to me to buy from your web hosting site. [note they must be allowing Adult Content or Adult Video Sharing]
I've emailed their host about using copyrighted materials, I've discussed it with the owner and now I've ran out of ideas for what to do to stop this guy from stealing my ideas/concepts/coding.
I've had people emailing me and ringing saying that either: I ripped him ... which isn't something I want to be told when my site was out first.
So my question to you is... what's the best way to deal with someone who's:
An interesting question recently came up during a discussion which I wasn't too sure of the answers / replies being discussed - perhaps some members may be kind enough to enlighten me on.
The question is: What would the preferred / best practice be for a website wanting to stream audio (say some sort of music they have created) be?
A) Stream it from their own dedicated server (any advantages / downsides)? (assuming bandwidth is unmetered @ 100Mbps)
B) Stream it through a streaming media provider (any advantages / downsides)?
C) Make it availalbe as a download as opposed to streaming it from their own server?
Now, the issue is that the content is commercial - i.e. users wanting to download / listen to it would need to pay a fee - i'm not sure if streaming providers would handle payment processing, etc?
Any finally, assume the delivery platform to be a LAMP environment.
Some time ago I've found in Google Book Search one of my books, 'published' there by my former Russian publisher, who has lost any rights to my novel 6 years ago. Furthermore, according to our agreement, the publisher was entitled to publish the novel in a book form only (which makes any other form of publication illegal).
I've contacted the Google Book Search Team with a request to change a copyright holder's ...
first time building a website, and was thinking about setting up a blog type website similar to the likes of engadget etc....
However I'm curious as to how I can source images and how copyright relates to a blog news site. Obviously with the quick nature I would be posting like other news sites I doubt there would be time to email the owner of a site and ask for permission and await a response.
So maybe theres a loop hole in regards to blog news sites for permission?
