Movies use a lot of Bandwidth
Need a lot
of Bandwidth and dick space for your
Independent Films?
Along with a huge demand on bandwidth your video are going to require a lot more storage space them text or even images. Instead of mega bites your gong to need giga bites. The truth is if your site is going to have any amount of videos your really going to need your own servers. Shared web hosting really doesn't offer the deal your going to need to have videos as your content. Although, having your own servers requires you to deal with a whole different string of problems. You really need to shop around because prices vary greatly. But by shopping around you can find some great deals. Also when considering a server plan you also have to take into account the software needed to run your server remotely. Many companies don't include the price of the software when quoting their server package prices. This needs to be taken into account because this software most of the time will have a monthly fee, directly increasing the monthly cost of your server. With out the software you won't be able to access your server.
The type of software your going to need with your server is first software to operate and configure your server. Next your going to need software to operate the Web aspect of your server. you'll need to add domain names and partition off your hard drives for each domain and relegate resources to each domain name. There is great software out there that makes running your own server child's play. But the better the software the more it's gong to cost monthly.
But setup right you;'ll be able to run multiple Domain Names and have more than enough bandwidth to deliver your content to your visitors. you will also be able to choose the amount of resources you'll have and that will depend on your needs.
Now another alternative is running your own servers at your own location. That runs into some real money. You'll need your own T1 connection, your own server machines, and your own software. This software but not limited to will be Web server software, DNS software, Email Software, and your going to have to setup and configure all of this software your self. Setting up the server software can be done with someone with limited technical experience but the DNS and Email software is going to take some real know how.
Your connection to the Internet is going to run some ware between $500. to $1500. a month. So unless you are part of a big company this not the road one would take it can rum into some real money.
But you don't need to do this, many companies offer everything you need for between $80. a month to around $500. a month depending on what your needs are. You can get some really great deals out there. Hard drives that once cost hundreds of Dollars now cost less then a hundred and with the software on the market today it's as if the servers were sitting next to you. This is really the age for setting up your presents on the World Wide Web.
Things you will need with your Hosting plan or server plan. You'll need a data base, best and most used is mysql.Make sure your offered at least one mysql data base, 5-10 is best. Also PHP will also be needed at minimum. Perl and other languages will be a plus.
