I got 20 videos and Im barely using any space.
I got around 10 users and Ive only used about 2 percent of my monthly allowance.

My hosting is 5 GB storage and 50 GB transfer per month

If your site is heavily visited and videos heavliy viewed, your bandwidth usage is gonna got through the roof.

Sounds like shared hosting... did you have any trouble setting up the script?

http://highsecurityhosting.com has $3.99/month shared hosting plans that give you 5 gigs of drive space and 250 gigs of bandwidth, but I wonder if there's any way to set up ffmepeg, mencoder, etc...

250 gigs for $3.99/month is overselling.

Ask them how much bandwidth they will give you if you buy a dedicated server from them paying more than $150 per month. Answer will be 2000 GB or some thing like that. This is because that is the price. They sell 250 gigs for $3.99/month only because they know no one is going to use that much. If you do, they will be hosting you at a lose.

I was also thinking about how fast the connections are. I have not yet opened it for the public on my site. We have 10.000 uniqe users pr day so i guess it will pull alot of load when we launch the video part.

My dedicated server uses 1400gb a month, with 10,000 members and grows rapidly. Im also on a 100mb pipeline, costs an extra 20 a month.

Are there 10.000 members on the vshare clone script? Or all in all.

Do you know what traffic peaks you get? How many mbits/s? And how many users that were online?

My site has 11,662 members atm grows 300 a day, my 100mb pipeline equally shares the bandwidth according to users online but when i watch a video with 100 members also watching videos i still get around 400mb a second download to watch whatever vid i want.

But if you want a tip from someone who has a successful site that grows rapidly continually update servers as you can afford, we upgraded from shared after we had 50 members then when we hit 500 we got a dedicated then at 1000 we put another gig of ram in and updated to a 100mb pipeline, As of now at 10,000 members we are in the process of gettn the top of the line server (dedicated) with 4gb of ram 2500gb bandwidth a month and 100mb pipeline, this is only so we can have 2 dedicated servers running in a cluster till we get the dns shift sorted then we will run 2x of the top dedicated servers in a cluster on 2 100mb pipelines with 5000gb monthly quota.

By 20,000 members we want 3x dedicated servers running 100mb pipelines in a cluster.
