I want to buy a 2 for 1 promo. I want to use it for a multi media site. Can I serve many video files on them?

SmartGuy

As long as they are not copyrighted and are your original work.

how many is many?

maybe 30-40 videos a month

Now that depends. In a shared server environment you have to be a 'good neighbour'. This means your website needs to run without slowing down the others on the server. Each server hosts around 200 websites.

30-40 videos a month is a lot. That sounds like a site that would be high traffic anyways. You might want to look into a dedicated server soloution. Quite a bit more expencive but your going from sharing it with 200 other people to being just yourself on there. Size is also another issue. They could be like 30-40 500k videos which is not as big of a deal. If you are thinking to serve 30-40 videos at a size of say, 10 megs (small for a video file), thats still 300-400 megs of videos. You might run into trouble in a shared hosting environment.

You might want to wait for a member of the staff to reply with a more stable reply. But I think I sota covered it :fish:

If I can only use 300-400 megs space, and few GB bandwidth, why I buy a 20gb space, 200GB bandwidth plan? Do you mean I want use as much as what I paid is fault?

You just need to be sure you don't use more than your allowed amount of system resources.. Allowed amount of CPU-power and such.. Except from that i think it will go good..

what will happen if I did? suspend my account for a while? and any way to avoid it? can I restrict the max download request number by cpanel?

I think restrict bandwidth/# of connections on a folder or restrict IP access will help me have less traffic and use less system resources. how can I set them?
