    Video site...

    Okay so I want to set up a site that can have all the videos that I'm doing... I have 2 options:
    1. I can use youtube and embed the video in my blog (cant change quality or length but doesn't use as much bandwidth)
    or
    2. I can host the videos on my site which is where my question lies...
    How much bandwidth would it use to host videos on these servers? and if they are my own creations would it violate the TOS?
    Any suggestions as to which path I should take and why would be helpful.
    Thanks alot

    If they are your own creations they do not violate any rules. But as to how much bandwidth they use, it also depends on how many people will be looking at them. Maybe start off with them on your server then if you find them using a lot of bandwidth switch to youtube or something.
    Thanks,

    You can see how much monthly bandwith is being used in cPanel.

    You can use the Coral CDN which acts almost like a proxy, by putting .nyud.net at the end of your URL, so, for example, http://<yourURL>.exofire.net.nyud.net/videos/video001.avi
    The physics is theoretical but the fun is real.
