Searching for a Web host


Question

I am currently looking for a web host ( preferably someone that is NOT free. Here are the features i need to have. I need to be able to host videos, and Images. I also NEED to have the ability to FTP into the site. I do not want to have to use some weird web interface for uploading. Also there needs to be no Upload limit imposed on individual files.

Now to clarify what i am trying to do. I am working on the website www.golfworks.com we are trying to find alternative hosting for our videos. currently they are hosted at office live from Microsoft However they have a 10 mb limit to uploads. and there is no FTP interface that we can use. We also do not want to use you tube because it requires that we have the youtube logo in our videos this is something that we do not want.

i recently switched over to www.asmallorange.com (from reccomendations from this forum)

and is possibly the best host i have had.

they are cheap and have no limits.

they also have a seperate service built for hosting large files if that would suit you better.

Thank you for the information i have looked into it and it looks like an amazing service we are writing up a proposal to the finance department to see if we can go through with it.

Asmallorange has been getting quite a few bad reviews on Webhostingtalk lately - I used to host with them a while back and they were always good so not sure if the reports over there are from people who are chuffed off for some reason or the service is going downhill.

I used to do nothing but recommend A Small Orange, but things are changing :(.

I use them as somewhere to keep things away from my main server, and to be honest, in the last few months it's been nothing but trouble :(. I guess their popularity isn't doing much for their technical ability/technical support).

And as for dreamhost, the phrase "you get what you pay for" couldn't be more apt.

I recommend BlueHost.com. They give you quite a bit (a LOT of storage space and monthly traffic allotment, and lots of other goodies, including a free domain name) for pretty cheap. Very, very little downtime, too. Bishop and I have been hosting GuildCom there for over a year now with no complaints whatsoever; best host I ever used by far. :D

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2. Download: VidCoder 12.20 | 47.0 MB (Open Source) Download: Portable VidCoder 12.19 | 89.3 MB Link: VidCoder Home Page | Github | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
