Hi all,

First of all - thank you in advance for any feedback you could give me. I’m starting a youtube clone / streaming video site and I need some info on hosting and bandwidth.

1.) Does anyone have any information, or can provide me with a link to information, about the costs required?

2.) I know bandwidth is the biggest cost. Does anyone know what kind of prices I will be paying per gigabyte? I heard its 5 - 15 cents per gigabyte (and dropping) - is this accurate, and where can i get the best rate while still having a reliable host that can handle a lot of traffic? Is there any kind of a list out there?

3.) Besides bandwith, what other costs are involved - for example, is storage space expensive? Will I need a dedicated server, and how much does this run? Other costs?

Thank you all again so much for any help with these issues!!!

Andrew
