Where to host my videos ?

[rorschach123]

Hello friends

I need advice.
I have my own porn site that I have been working on for almost half a year so it is not yet available to the public. It is not a page where I throw links from other porn sites.
I do everything separately every single video. Because it's a project that doesn't appear anywhere else and offers more than the others.

But to the point.
I'm constantly encountering problems with video hosting.
Here I will list the problems:

Doodstream: sometimes a video doesn't work, but it happens, but the problem is that even after paying for a premium membership so that they don't delete my videos after 2 months of inactivity, I don't have any membership and the support doesn't respond at all.

Lulustream: when you upload for example 20 videos, more than half of them do not go and the error 232011 is displayed, it does not help to clean the cookies or other browser or VPN, so probably the internal error

Filemoon: here I have not encountered that some videos give an error, but sometimes (often) they load slowly and many times I have to refresh the page to get the video to load at all

One porn site hosts videos on turboviplay, I've never encountered a video not working if was uploaded on this site. The problem is that after registration I don't get mail at all so I can't verify my account. Support also does not answer.

Amdahost: this one is more no go than go

Can you please advise me where to put the videos ? I know that nothing is perfect and that every page will have an error, but when you upload 100 videos and 70 of them don't work, you can't work like that.


It's not about making money from views, it's about functionality. I am serious about my website and I want it to work as well as possible.

I am still an amateur and I am learning.
I was also thinking about cloud storage. Is it possible to connect the cloud storage to my site to be able to stream videos on my site ?

Thank you all in advance for the answers

Hey, sounds like you’ve put a lot of heart into your project, and I totally get why these hosting issues are driving you nuts. You’ve got a vision, and tech hiccups shouldn’t be holding you back.

First off, yeah, a lot of these free or semi-premium hosting platforms like Doodstream, Filemoon, etc., are hit-or-miss. They’re not built for high reliability, and their support can be painfully unresponsive. If functionality is your top priority, it’s probably time to ditch those platforms and go for something more reliable, even if it costs a bit more.

Cloud storage is absolutely an option, and it might be the best route for you. Platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or pCloud can be integrated with your site for video streaming using APIs or embed links. For heavier traffic, consider Amazon S3 or Wasabi, they’re super scalable and cost-effective. Pair them with a video player plugin like Video.js or JW Player, and you’re set for smooth streaming.

If you’re serious about the long haul, look into self-hosting. You can rent a VPS or dedicated server from services like DigitalOcean, Vultr, or Linode. Use a media server like Plex or FFmpeg to handle video streaming. It gives you total control over your content, and you won’t have to worry about arbitrary deletions or errors. Just keep in mind it’s a bit of a learning curve and might need more hands-on management.

Cloud storage or self-hosting are your best bets for functionality. You’ll have more control, and your site won’t be held hostage by flaky hosting platforms. Keep experimenting, and you’ll nail this, your dedication is already half the battle won!

Thank you for your reply and for your support I appreciate it very much

thank you also for very valuable information
although it all takes a long time, but I'm still learning and when I start one day I want to give people a great site.

In truth, dedicated servers are probably a bit complicated for me to set up, but cloud storage like Wasabi intrigues me.

My site has a built-in video player so linking it to the player is not a problem.

But I have a question. I created an account on Wasabi as a free trial, uploaded a video and used the link, the video is there but it won't start. So I wanted to allow it to be public because the error is probably there. But write me there:

The following policy items are not available to you:
Public Access

Do you know why ?

And if I may ask. How do these cloud storage sites like Wasabi, Amazon, etc... how do they treat adult content ?

Yea, trying to setup dedicated servers are too complicated. I'd recommend using a file host. Your best bet is to hedge your bets and use multiple different file hosts on your website. That way, incase a host goes down, they don't completely destroy your entire website.

Hi, I know sendvid.com and vid4me.com, both are free of charge and censorship-free. sendvid is relatively long, and vid4me is a bit new. Besides them, Google Driver might also work with a little pay, or use Azure Blob and/or AWS S3 for cheap price.
Another option is that you open up your channels on Pornhub and Xvideos and upload the videos there, and then you embed the videos in your website, this solution might work as well.
