Hosting Considerations for Online Video
Overview
Incorporating video into your website can significantly enhance promotional efforts and capture your audience's attention. However, there are crucial factors to consider, primarily file size and bandwidth.
File Size
Videos are among the largest files online, combining both audio and moving images. If you intend to host videos on your website, it's essential to monitor the available storage on your hosting account, as videos can quickly consume space.
On average, a medium-quality video uses about one megabyte per minute. So, a five-minute video typically takes up around 5MB.
Bandwidth
Due to their large file sizes, videos require substantial bandwidth. Each time a video is downloaded or streamed from your site, considerable bandwidth is consumed. It’s important to check your hosting account’s bandwidth limits.
For instance, if you have a hosting plan with 5GB of data transfer per month, a single 5MB, five-minute video could be downloaded 1,000 times without exceeding the limit. However, when combined with other site elements like web pages and images, this number will drop. Adding more videos will reduce it even further.
Alternatives to Self-Hosting Videos
If hosting videos on your website demands too much space and bandwidth, consider using a video hosting service. Options include both free and paid services.
Free services like YouTube and Google Video are readily available. For paid services, you can explore various options online.
Paid hosting services offer the advantage of hosting videos without third-party branding, ensuring all content aligns with your website’s aesthetics. In contrast, free services often include branding, which might divert traffic away from your site.
