  15. Here are my questions:
  17. 1- What kind of hosting is recommended? I am sure shared hosting services like hostgator, or hostgator cloud hosting will not be enough.
  18. Could you recommend good hosting services that I should go for.
  20. 2- Since I will be hosting all the videos on youtube, can I just embed the videos on my site? Or should I host the videos separately on AWS or any other video hosting platform?
  22. What are the advantages or dis advantages of both the above options?
  24. 3- If I host the videos on youtube and embed them on my website, when a user watches the videos, will that be added towards the bandwidth on my server, or will it be considered as bandwidth from youtube?
  26. Thanks

  29. If videos are hosted on YouTube, you will be able to freely embed them on your pages without a problem.
  31. If a customer watches an embedded video, the traffic generated will not be counted against your monthly quota, it will traffic between the customer and YouTube / video storage platform of your choice.
  33. The "disadvantage" of hosting a video on YouTube is that the video needs to adhere to all of their guidelines regarding the content of the video.
  34. Tha advantage, however, is that it adds another layer of discoverability for your content, as a lot of people will look directly on YouTube for educational videos.
  36. How much disk space do you need ?
  38. It also depends on your budget.
  40. 1- Shared hosting should be more than enough to start. You can always upgrade when you will make money with your site.
  42. 2- Read the youtube terms and condition and if you are satisfied with them, I would go with them. You will get visibility from the youtube search and you will get more views.
  44. 3- The bandwidth used by embedded video will be from youtube. You will not be charged by your hosting company for the videos.

  48. 3- The bandwidth used by embedded video will be from youtube. You will not be charged by your hosting company for the videos.
  49. This is correct, definitely check out the shared hosting offers here in the forums.
  51. You should no more than 10GB disk and a decent amount of bandwidth, 100GB+ id say.

  80. First, welcome to WHT Like other members have said, YouTube is a good way to go since that bandwidth will not count against your hosting. I would not go with Hostgator (personal opinion), but shared hosting should be fine for what you've described.
  82. 1- You can try with good shared hosting, should be enough, how much space do you need?
  84. 2- Good option for you is to host videos on youtube, you will just embed them on your website, that way you don't need high resources
  87. 3- it will not use your hosting bandwidth, video will be hosted on youtube, so all traffic will go there, it's good option, because you don't need big bandwidth on your hosting server, that way good shared hosting will be enough, later when you will have a lot of views, and you will see that resources of your server are not enough, you can think about upgrade
  89. Hello,
  91. I am starting a website where education is offered for free. I will be having courses on various subjects for students from 5th to 10th grades.
  93. I am starting with adding a lot of software courses. Apart from my website, I will be adding all of the courses on my youtube channel too.
  95. Here are my questions:
  97. 1- What kind of hosting is recommended? I am sure shared hosting services like hostgator, or hostgator cloud hosting will not be enough.
  98. Could you recommend good hosting services that I should go for.

  102. What are the advantages or dis advantages of both the above options?

  106. Thanks

  108. 1- You can get a VPS and host your website on a free panel like virtualmin to save money.
  110. 2- Yes you can embed videos from youtube.com.
  112. 3- It will be youtube.com bandwidth not yours.
  114. Follow up question:
  116. If my videos are monetized on youtube, if I embed those videos on my site, will the ads play on my site too and will I be paid for the ads?
  118. Follow up question:
  119. Yes if you choose to monetize the videos in your YouTube account when they are embedded they may play ads and generate ad revenue.
  121. It seems to me a lot of the issue are not clear to you and that is alright. Don't worry, some of them will become clear as things progress.
  124. 1- What kind of hosting is recommended? I am sure shared hosting services like hostgator, or hostgator cloud hosting will not be enough.
  125. Could you recommend good hosting services that I should go for.
  126. They are owned by the EIG. I doubt you'd find anyone here who would recommend them, considering the sheer number of horror stories they have against them. You might want to avoid them, too.
  128. Instead of searching on google for hosting provider, search here as it would be more beneficial to you in finding a decent provider.
  130. To start your website, a decent shared hosting should be enough for now. You can upgrade when you need more.
  132. 2- Since I will be hosting all the videos on youtube, can I just embed the videos on my site? Or should I host the videos separately on AWS or any other video hosting platform?
  134. What are the advantages or dis advantages of both the above options?
  135. YouTube is recommended as you plan to embed them. Your clients will be able to view them faster than AWS. Hosting the videos offsite will also reduce server load and resource usage.
  137. 3- If I host the videos on youtube and embed them on my website, when a user watches the videos, will that be added towards the bandwidth on my server, or will it be considered as bandwidth from youtube?
  138. It will be considered as bandwidth from YouTube.
  140. Welcome to WebHostingTalk and thank you for your effort in offering free education, it is much needed in the modern world.
  142. If you are mainly sharing your courses via videos and your website is mainly being used to embed or link to these videos (which are hosted externally) then I think a shared hosting package is more than enough because everything else is really going to be very static. I am not sure if you have decided how you want to proceed with creating the website yet? But assuming you are using a content management system such as WordPress, as long as you do not install unnecessary plugins and also assuming my description of your website is correct, then I think with a proper caching mechanism such as LiteSpeed Cache, you should be able to handle tens of thousands of visits on a daily basis without any issue.
  144. Youtube videos can easily be embedded on your website and any visitor streaming them will use Youtube's bandwidth instead of your website (which is why I mentioned your overhead is going to be very low if you are embedding videos from a third party server). AWS can be costly and since you are able to monetize Youtube videos, I think it is the better solution and you could put the funds towards better use such as developing more/better content and sharing them for free.
  146. Best of luck and you have my appreciation for your contribution to the community!
