Hi, I have good download speeds for most of the world with my unlimited hosting plan, but I get some people that complain about the speed so I've had to make my files available to download. While that makes these members happy, it also opens myself up to piracy. This I don't like!!! I looked into Amazon web services but it's just way too complicated for me. Not even sure if that would solve my problem. I'd like a simple Upload to FTP solution that would mirror the files globally. I know many pay video sites do this so there has got to be a easy solution. (This is not porn, so the speeds for my members are critical.) I host about 3GB of videos currently. Anyway, does anyone have suggestions for services that can be a solution for my problem? I assume I need servers all over the world that host the files so people get fast connections everywhere. Thanks, -B
@mglmstr1: I have been using Panther Express to deliver audio and video files and have been fairly happy with the set up. It supports: 1) Easy setup. essentially just create a subdomain (cache.yourdomain.com or whatever) and you and point it to them. so cache.yourdomain.com\videos\video1.flv caches videos from yourdomain.dom\videos\video1.flv and streams it from whatever content server is closest to your customer. 2) Works with my existing amember security meaning they check the path to ensure the user has access before delivering the file. 3) Supports referrer checking so you can limit hotlinking They have worldwide distribution of their cache servers so in addition to being fast, they are also as close to your customers as possible.
