Video hosting on VPS and Bandwitdh questions
A colleague and I are making a website that host Japanese cartoon called Anime. We are both fairly new in web-hosting and we were wondering what type of server would hold up the load and how much bandwidth usage are we looking at each month.
The videos are 70-100mb each. We expect to have about 300-500 users on at any given time. (or maybe around 70k visits/day)
We did some research and found some options:
1. VPS hosting with unlimited bandwidth ($35/mo)-surprisingly cheap
2. Amazon S3 (charge $0.12/GB bandwith)
3. Dedicate server with 5TB bandwith ($150-170/mo)
Any info on how much bandwidth we will need a month and which option is the best would be kindly appreciated.

You'd be best off finding a host with affordable per TB addons and going from there.

Forget about VPS with "unlimited bandwidth". You might consider "unmetered", which means to be tapped on a certain bandwidth limitation (For example 20 Mbps, 50 Mbps or 100 Mbps speed). This will cost you certainly more than $35/month.
I do not know about Amazon. However i'm sure that it would not be cost-effective solution! A dedicated server would be fine and yo should be able to get a good machine at $15- $170 per month. Dedicated is probably the best option!HostColor.com ★★ Edge Infrastructure - US Dedicated Servers & Europe Dedicated Hosting ★ since 2000

I guess CDN is much suitable for you.
But you have to budget your bandwidth cost.█ ControlVM.com :: Elastic Cloud Hosting Alternatives to VPS ● Reliable Cloud Server

If your 100mb videos are 15 minutes long, then the math is so:
500 People watching a 15 minute 100mb file at 500kbps = 7,500 viewing minutes requiring a total of 26.822gb - lets call it 27gb.
27gb x 4 = 108gb per hour * 24 = 2592gb per day.
2592gb * 365 = 946080 gb yearly / 12 = 78840gb monthly = 78.84 tb monthly. This equates to 9.855 TB per month data requirement on a 50-60MBPS line.
Please note that the maths was completed using BITS and the final result given in BYTES.
Hope this helps(and is correct lol)Last edited by LuxuryVPS; 05-04-2012 at 08:19 AM. Reason: New Math!
