What’s The Best Web-hosting Plan Fo Me.?
Feb.09, 2010 in
Web Hosting Service
I’m looking for a web-hosting plan that I can have Youtube-like bandwidth on. The reason I want this is because I plan on hosting a 3-hour TV show on the Internet for streaming, so it’s going to use up an INSANE amount of bandwidth.

well if you want Youtube-like bandwidth you should consider that the webhost should be fast and reliable and also has high uptime…i am using bluehost webhosting for my shopping websitehttp://www.bluehost.com/track/bluehostwe…

Even with a three hour film in HD, you will not touch YouTube in terms of bandwidth. I think that they are adding something in the neighborhood of 5 hours of content every minute or two.
GIven that you will be streaming, you’ll want to be sure that you they have a pretty quick connection. I’d suggest AGAINST using an unlimited account as they often tend to be quite slow, effectively limiting you by not getting the info out fast enough.
I use two hosts, and am happy with both. Neither offer an insane amount of bandwidth though, so they would not be good options.
There are some companies that rate the speed of different hosts, you can Google that, or I could for you if you like. What I would do is call their sales or tech support and ask if I could download a 500 MB file to see if they are fast enough to get my business. If they won’t help with that, then keep moving.

Look, there is great competition between most web hosting companies , so they do their best to provide the best service with less prices .
also, they provide discount coupons to get cheaper prices for their services and the review of different web hosting companies and their discount coupons you can find in different web sites, but the website i recommend due to continuous updating coupons is : http://www.hostchance.com

I am a web designer. While I do not host web sites I often refer clients to web hosts that make my job easier.
At my web site: http://www.samwilson3d.com is a list of hosts; all offer different plans, and all have excellent web building tools (notice that most have the fantastico script library)
several of these have unlimited bandwidth and hosting space
