Title: Condsidering starting a site for AH movies
Post by: o0Stream140o on January 09, 2005, 02:03:12 PM

I am considering starting a site for guys to submit AH films they have made in the AVI format.  

2 things I need to consider..

1. Nameing the site... something like Virtual War Cinema... that one is taken but I am up for suggestions.

2. Finding a host that can support high multimedia content.  So I can host more than one film at a time... have a featured film like every 2 weeks or every month...  So any of you internet guys have any hosts in mind, I could use the input.


I am open for suggestions...

So long as I dont have to pay your bandwidth bill....go for it:rofl

I'd get at least 100 gigs if you plan on hosting quality content more than a few NEW films at one time.  Residual hit counts to about 30% of my bandwidth, so keeping older stuff up isnt that big a deal (unless you get a blurb on a mainstream site with millions of visitors....thats happened to me a few times and it eats up a months bandwith in two days:D )

Also be careful about setting up remote download blocks.  You want to ensure people cant link directly to your files without being on your site.  Otherwise you will find just how much 'hot linking' lame sites like to do.  Not only does this ensure your site gets the proper credit, but more inportantly it prevents hotllink bombs (like having your file listed as "super hot asian babes" on 300 or so less than ethical sites).

I have it setup so that only My site and this BBS allow direct connects.
