In my opinion, there is nothing better than paid hosting. If planned and maintained, you do not have to worry about about links going bad since they live on a domain you own and control. As long as I continue to renew my domain name, I can be certain that my video links will be valid. Who knows what will happen to the free services. Of course I wish them the best, but I would have no control if they went dead or changed their linking structure.
Also, the bandwidth from a paid services is usually much better than any of the free services. Speaking from past experience, I'd much rather visit a vlog that is not hosting their videos on a free service because my time to watch vids is limited. We're able to post 20-30MB movies and have them autostart and not stall on a high-speed connection. The same cannot be said for some of the free services. I'm a big fan of Dreamhost (as are many others here). The best part is they have a referral program that can eliminate your costs. Given all the time we spend on vlogging, what is $10 each month to have ripping fast downloads and high quality statistics? Two less lattes or two less beers could make your vlogging life easier. http://www.vlogmap.org/dreamhost.php -Matt --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Lossy Graham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I'm just curious about what host sites you all use to upload your videos.
