What is the best CMS for selfhosted adult videos?

Hi BHW,

I have been working on my adult tube site for a while now.

And I have come to the conclusion that it would be better for me to self host my mainly video content, as I am tired of having users be redirected to the source sites of the content.

I have been running with WordPress, but I am unsure if that's the best solution when it comes to self-hosted videos.

Do you guys have any suggestions to what CMS would be best for self-hosting video content, so I can get the most out of my server, performance-wise.

Thank you

The simplest solution is to have a separate server or cluster of servers for videos depending on ur traffic running on nginx & Refrerrer + cors restrict the content to be accessed only from your sites.
If you place your main site & video host on same server, you will run into trouble during hightraffic times, 1000users can suckup ur 1gbps dedicated easily.

I suggest Rails, or Python for this (and not just a simple cms). Would you be able to code in it? That's the big question. Just use what you can. Use wp if you want to. Also, like @SteveWhite suggested, look into having different servers for hosting the actual videos. Think about the content more than the cms for now, as that's the hardest part of the project.

the question is, do you have problems sofar? i mean are you having too much traffic that videos load slow or the site becomes unresponsive ?
if so, like others already suggested have a sperate server for hosting the video content that will reduce the load on your site a lot.
using wp as CMS is fine, any other CMS also has more or less the same requirements. what would be really faster is using static HTML instead of a CMS, then you don't have tons of db requests.
for the webserver: while nginx is faster as apache, that is only a matter for really high traffic sites. otherwise there won't be a huge difference.
apache is also fast and even though nginx is faster, that is only making a difference if you have millions of visitors a month.

Should you host the vids on S3 buckets? I'm thinking of building a amatuer xtube site.
