FFmpeg Web Hosting Features and Benefits

I'm sure you've noticed the massive popularity of video sharing community sites in the last few years. Thousands of people are visiting web sites such as YouTube, Vimeo and Metcafe every day not only to watch the entertaining and informative videos created by other members, but also to publish their very own videos for the world to see.

Now a lot of website owners are deciding to launch video community sites of their own in order to tap into this very large amount of traffic, and they are creating these types of video sites with FFmpeg web hosting plans.

FFmpeg consists of software modules and plugins which can enable video files to be uploaded, converted and streamed from a web server. FFmpeg web hosting providers offer this collection of video software and plugins pre-installed, usually on high speed web servers which have been optimized for streaming video.

For brand new sites with small amounts of traffic traffic a budget level, shared hosting plan will usually suffice. Note however that video streaming will place a high demand on web servers and can use up a lot of bandwidth so prepare to upgrade your FFmpeg hosting plan when your video site becomes more popular and traffic increases.

If you expect to have a large number of visitors soon after launching your videeo site you should consider starting out with a VPS (Virtual private server) web hosting plan or a semi-dedicated plan.
