How big are your files? How often are they requested? How much server space does your hosting company allow? How much bandwidth per month? Some hosting companies offer MUCH better deals than others. This is a case where it definitely pays to shop around. I've heard great things about DreamHost from a lot of different sources: http://www.dreamhost.com/ I plan to publish a full blown report on the subject of hosting. If anyone has already done the research and has something ready to go, please let us know. Pesha,

If I want to put 100's of videos on a site I understand that I should have to pay for my bandwidth/usage. However is bandwidth/usage dependent on visitor usage? If so, how do we cost our expenditure? Is there a way round this possible problem? Pesha Thanks Ken I always open your emails!

Google "stock footage" and you'll have plenty to choose from. Hi Doug,

Really enjoying your posts about online A/V! Teri & I are running around with our GL2 putting some stock material together for future use, but had a quick question: Are there any sites you can recommend as sources for stock Internet video clips with rights? Thanks, Doug & Teri Champigny. Hi, Ken!
