The same as if you set it up on your own machine, a Java environment that might be advertised as well as JBoss, Tomcat, Resin, Jetty Server and Postgres as a database, not MySQL. Every service that offers these requirements should be able to provide the other stuff that you will need depending on your material to be archived, such as Storage, Bandwidth, CPU cycles and memory. But you wont find as many as for common webhosting. You will likely have to ask a provider of professional services. Besides, there is one provider specialising in DSpace hosting: <http://www.openrepository.com/> Regarding your question about video, there was a very knowledgeable Presentation at the User Group meeting at Gothenburg you might be interested in: <http://gupea.ub.gu.se/dspace/handle/2077/21337> > can the compiling/building/making of dspace be done > off-line and the uploaded to the host? This is probably not very complicated. But, you will have to become comfortable with DSpace on a test system before you will be able to set up and run a more complex solution. Though, the video part is the much more demanding part of your project. Perhaps, we could give better advice whether DSpace is the right solution for you, if you give us some cornerstones of your project, such as how many people will ingest into and access the repository, what type of organisation runs the repository, Which amount of items do you expect within the first two years, whether you are focused on long term preservation, on detailed metadata, distributed workflows with differentiated responsibilities within the team and so on. Besides, I doubt that you will find any reliable solution when Java makes you frown.
