Previously, I shared with you top free video hosting solutions that allow you to straightaway distribute videos anywhere and anytime without costing you both time and budget. If you havent watch that yet, I recommend you check it out first. So today, Im going to be sharing with you all the solutions that I use in my business that are paid but will still not cost you a lot money.
If you usually create long videos such as interviews or podcasts, you could use these affordable hosting services to take advantage of the limited services in free video websites.
The reason why you might consider hosting videos and pay for hosting videos is its private membership site video information which you dont want to share with the public or maybe its information that you dont want to be able to disclose via the videos, free video sites such as YouTube and so forth. The reason why I got some of these is because I host very long interviews with bloggers and successful entrepreneurs and so forth and I usually cant fit all those onto the free service.
Affordable Video Hosting Solutions:
1. Amazon S3 Web Service
have a look at Amazon Web Service which is right here. What its called is the Amazon S3, you can see it here on this website and its basically a service which allows you to host hundreds and hundreds of gigs of data or anything that you really want and what we use the service particularly for is just to host videos and audios for the blog. If youve been passed my blog and youve seen on my blog theres an area which you can just click on that says Download MP3. You see here on my blog it says here Download the MP3.
These mp3s are all hosted on the Amazon S3 service and you can click on this anytime. Youll see that whenever you click on that link, itll take you straight to the Amazon S3 server which is where all the videos are hosted and all the mp3s. Its great for those kind of things because a lot of services out there just dont allow you to host large files. Jumping back into Amazon S3 web services, I just want to show you quick brief pricing of how much it costs. Its very, very cheap in my experience just from using this because the fact is that they really are giving you so much space to store a lot of space for like 15cents per gigabyte.
A gigabyte is a thousand megs. On average myfor example my mp3s are probably around about 30 to 40megs at most, thats max. I can imagine, I can probably be able to store up to 300 mp3s before I have to pay 15cents for the mp3s so thats how cheap it is. This is what it is here, in US standard, 15cents per gig and if you get up to 15 terabytes, its 10cents per gigabyte after that and this is on a monthly basis. So, you can imagine I havent paid more than probably about 3 to 4bucks per month just to be able to have all this additional service and hosting and its really, really do cheap. This is something that I highly recommend if you want a hosting solution for videos and also for audios as well.
Amazon S3 Bucket Explorer
One other thing to mention as well, I found that Amazon web services just to use in general isnt very easy to use because its been designed for programmers and developers but theres a really neat software that acts like a FTP client called Amazon S3 client bucket which you can download here called Bucket Explorer or the S3 Amazon Bucket Explorer. It does cost a little bit money to buy this but I think its not that expensive at all. Ill just click on it and Ill show you how much it costs. I bought this a while ago so I dont quite remember how much it is. There you go, $50 once-off. So once you buy that, you can use this and it acts like a FTP server which allows you to upload all your files directly onto Amazon S3 and you pretty much just run it as though youre using like FTP server.
2. Traffic Geyser
I currently use Traffic Geyser to also distribute not just only videos but also my podcasts, social bookmarks and also articles throughout the website, throughout the web. This is really a good piece of tool if you can afford to use it. It is $97 per month but its really, really powerful once you see how its used. So basically just follow the link that Ive provided below here and you should be able to have access to the Traffic Geyser if you want to use it.
For example, these are all the video websites that you can see that it goes out to. So there are 20 video websites that Traffic Geyser automatically distributes to once you distribute it once or upload it once to Traffic Geyser. Not only that, you also get podcast sites which there are seven of them, it will also send it out to blog sites for you, social bookmarking sites for you, also article sites for you and yeah, pretty much everything that you see there. Its very, very powerful once you set all these up. It allows you to do quite a lot of things.
But the most important part as I mentioned previously in the first video if you saw that, is that it allows you to get lots and lots of backlinks and it allows you to move up to search engines very, very quickly as well. Thats how I successfullyeverytime I create my videos, I automatically have it submitted by my virtual assistants to Traffic Geyser and send out to all those different websites out there allowing me to create lots of backlinks. At the moment, Ive got probably tens and thousands of backlinks coming back to Tyroneshum.com which allows me to rank really well in certain areas of my videos.
Much Powerful Video Hosting
So thats the last thing that I recommend if youre looking to spend a little bit money to host and get some affordable hosting services out here. These things are very, very powerful and these are the tools that I currently use to host all my videos on my website or on my blog and also to distribute it across the Internet.
