    Google announced sometime ago that they host youtube at HostGator, giving them unlimited diskspace and bandwidth for 3.95$ a month.

    Hello Friend,

    Youtube is a company of Google and they have their own data centers at multiple locations. And As per my knowledge youtube runs from multiple servers using multiple very very high config storage.
    But it is highly impossible to say how much is total disk space they have to keep the data.

    Server Master.

    Somebody estimated in 2012 that it was 76 petabytes a year.. so, a lot a lot.

    EDIT: updating for their new stats it would be about 127 PB /year.

    But is it all SSD disk space?
    Also - don't they know that "unlimited" is just a marketing gimmick and there is always a hidden limit?

    It isn't I mean google recently entered the domain registration business nothing is stopping them from encroaching the hosting sector they already have one of the worlds best infrastructure. If they do get in hosting the only way we could compete would be providing better support, competing with them in terms of infrastructure would be quite impossible

    I am not sure you can host a SMTP server of your own on a shared hosting. This account must just be used for youtube only

    That is the reason, because unlimited is a bunch of lies.
