Need another video host

Droops has been kind enough to let me use his bandwidth for a few months now, but it’s getting to the point where my videos are sucking up too much of his bandwidth. I’m looking for a new place to host the videos. Ideas? I’m more than willing to let the host put a small ad at the bottom of each video page. I think it’s too the point where the videos are taking a few 100 gigs of transfer per month (not sure of the exacts, but Droops will let me know soon). Thanks to Droop for letting me host my videos for so long on his dime.

I would help if I could but that'd kill my bandwith - lol

but I did find this

I dont know if the 100meg is going to be an issue (maybe sign up a few times - once for each video) but it was the unlimited bandwith that caught my eye - and its free

or if you wanted I could prolly throw together a phpmySQL script which would track number of views to each video and then get a group of users to allot a certain amount of bandwith they wish to donate and the script can then judge who is still below their bandwith alotment and redirect them to the correct page :)

thats if you can get a group of people to give over a lil bit of bandwith each.

Thanks, all the videos together are 78.4 MB right now.

Use bittorrent.

Not very user friendly considering the type of content.

errr....
about new free host

My site is database-driven and uses 50 GB per month in transfer. Can I simply use a host with an unlimited transfer plan for $10 per month?

No. Most hosts are in business to make money and they would lose money hosting your site. They have to pay from $0.3 to $5 per GB of transfer to upstream providers themselves. Almost all hosts that have "unlimited" plans specify in their acceptable use policies that no site can use an "excessive" amount of resources. If you use too much disk space, bandwidth, or CPU time, these "unlimited" hosts will ask you to upgrade or leave.

dont think you can host there. Also some hosts dont accept "linking"... you cant host files there and link from another place....

Why not get them on archive.org?

It's VERY awkward to use.
