Looking for a VPS to stream videos
Hey.
I'm the owner of an adult website (focused on amateur content). I already have a server that fits my requirements, and now I want another VPS just to serve the videos of my website.
I have 8GB of videos and my main public is from Brazil. I will probably use around 5~7TB of bandwidth per month.
So, do you have any suggestions of host companies? I can spend something like $120 per year.

Take a dedicated for such purposes instead of a VPS. Should it be in USA?
No, it doesn't have to be in the US.
Is Moldova OK for you?
Yeah no. Check out OVH and then use something either their CDN, or CloudFlare to speed things up a bit.
Only 8 GB of videos? That's barely anything. I think BuyVM would work for you since they offer some of the cheapest VPS bandwidth. Well, there's also OVH with "unlimited 100 Mbps" for really cheap too.
Or pick any VPS for your needs and host your videos on a cloud service like Dropbox or Box. It should be fairly cheap. They seem to allow porn. Not sure how a video player off their content would work though. http://cloudtimes.org/2012/08/27/comparing-tos-microsoft-google-box-dropbox/
Or what if you upload it to other porn video sites like redtube, etc? You can just embed their player into your site.
Grab a 11€ KS-4C
A little bit out of your budget but it worth that price
OVH or Scaleway (online.net)
Hello,
We still have a couple of atom @ 5.53 $ / month
Bandwidth is unmetered @ 100mbits
Green Fish
Do they easily terminate the accounts?
I think I should get a server with a port of 1Gbps, right?
I saw here some servers of HostMaze and they seem to fit my needs. Are they good? Has anyone ever tried it?
Scaleway:
To delete account:

And to delete the server is very easy.
You handle it for hours. No complication.
OVH: I don't know
Think what he wanted to know is more like if he is going to be kicked off their services if he causes any trouble or receives a complaint.
Sorry.
OVH is easily terminate. Scaleway I don't know
But in this case
hostsolutions.ro
@cociu
You can get a kvm instances from us for $2.50/m with 2TB bandwidth and 20GB disk. Checkout our offers or pm me.
@JoaoCAM it depends what codec and how many users we are talking ?
I think 2TB bandwidth is pretty low for me. I'll probably use above 6TB per month (a number that could easily grow up).
It's a regular codec, x264 (.mp4 videos, most of them with low resolution). Around 200GB of usage per day.
PM me, I am sure I can offer you a deal. In DE or US.
I was thinking of a VPS with SSD drives, unmetered bandwidth and a port of 1Gbps.
And all of that for $10/month? Good luck.
How much do you think it is a regular budget?
for $15 i can do
2 cores
20gb SSD
and 7tb bandwidth
No one cares.
Get a provider tag first of all. Mr. SuperBad
He's so bad, he won't get a provider tag
I was thinking of Online.net/Scaleway. Are they good?
Edit: nevermind, they don't accept PayPal.
@JoaoCAM or you can test our Cloud service, everything is stored on SSD and it is hourly billed if it does not feet you can just trash the vm.
