Hi & help!!

We produce video. My clients want to put education archival video content (Windows media) for students on the web. At most 10 students a day will log on for a few hours.

I also have clients that want live windows media video streaming. Up to 50 users logging in at most for a 3 hour lecture, only a couple times a year at this point.

I'd like to use one company for the archival(on demand) and live web casting/streaming. Any ideas? Or should I just use 2 different hosting companies? Please tell me companies that you like and have used!!!

Thanks!
MAV

Hello,

You could get a good VPS server and install what you want.

That's the best way to go if you cannot find a host supporting your needs.

I would have to agree with everyone else. A VPS or a Dedicated server may be the best route for you. Or you will need to find a expensive shared hosting plan that would suite your needs.

Streaming video usually requires a large amount of server resources depending on the size of the file. As suggested, a VPS or dedicated server is the preferred option over shared hosting, however this is unlikely to be available on demand.

I concur with what the others are saying (I have been doing that a lot lately). A low-mid level VPS would be right up your alley.

Cheers.
