Any good hosting company will be able to provide you with that. What you should do is start out small with a regular hosting plan until you start getting a decent amount of hits. Then you can move up to the next plan level up. Eventually you will need to get the plan with dedicated servers to support the amount of data and traffic. If you go to http://www.dakotawebhosting.com they have plans at different levels depending on the needs so you would be able to add as you go.

Reply:First you will need to know how to program the back-end subsystems to process the video and deliver it. Then, after that you will need a massive amount of bandwidth, which you will pay an ISP/hosting company for. And then you will need massive storage space to hold all the content.





Any serious host will allow you to have as much storage space as you want. Provided you can pay for it. You'll need a solid business plan if you really want this to work.





So I'd focus on getting #1 down first. Then you can worry about finding a good host.
Reply:To make your own "mini-youtube", you can get a vidiac account for free! People, including you, can upload video's to your site (up to 500mb), and the best thing is that you have control over all the video's on your site! You approve, and decline video's of your choice that people upload to your site! For an example, here's my site: pillarproductions.vidiac.com .


Hope this helps!
