Novice looking for a great website host.

My needs are.


I want to build a site for myself to host Videos and have a jukebox.* not porn,just vegas studios movies,flash movies etc that Id like to make for myself.
Id also like to be able to host a gaming site and forums and possibly a team speak server.
I plan on making training videos for a game I play and want to be able to host them.

Being new to web hosting a host that has good support,easy to use,room to grow,stable and possibly even an above average site building program.* am am working on building some myself,but if the opprotunity arises to make my life easier all the better.


Thanks in advance

Since you're going to need so much disk space and bandwidth it would be a good idea to use 1and1.com. They are very simple. Their control panel takes just a little bit of getting used to but after you see the deals they offer it won't even cross your mind (for example 200 GB disk space 2 TB AKA 2,000 GB bandwidth with I think 50 MySQL databases, PHP/Perl support, 2,000 emails, and 3 domains all for 5 bucks a month). Very reliable. The only time I ever had a problem with it being slow, or timing out was about an hour or two today and I've been using 1and1 for about a year or 2 now.
Godaddy.com is also a good choice but to me at least a little more confusing. Their deals aren't as good but still really good.

if you wish to host videos and songs etc that are illgeal i suggest you get a dedicated server or else a vps server.

if you tell me what you need i can help you choose a host and make it fit into your requirements

The videos are my own..... just using the site as a platform to post my own personal works and some training videos,of my own...... as far as the music... I bought the coffeecup jukebox program.... looks like fun but I hope its NOT going to be a problem with legality.......

Link to jukebox here http://www.coffeecup.com/web-jukebox/


My first videos =) be gentle


First Video has some strong language right at the end.. I edited in a answering machine recording I got a few years back...

As it has been said above, dedicated is the best solution, but since your project isn't mission critical (I mean you don't need 100% uptime), l you can go for a plan with plenty of disc space and RAM, so this should be your priorities while choosing a hosting plan, then definitely go for a host with flash support, multiple domain hosting, plus think about the most suitable support forms. I recommend you to look at ahosting.biz resellers plan and westhost.com, the latter allows you to have 10 domains.
Good luck in choosing a hosting plan!
