Hosting capabilities

The Web hosting requirements for multimedia websites are considerably different from standard sites. The sizes for large media files can add up quickly, and you must have the hosting capacity to store all of your content. If you plan to stream video or audio from the site, your bandwidth requirements will be higher. A significant amount of traffic can cause you to outstrip the alloted bandwidth on a standard hosting plan, which will make the site crash. When in doubt, call your hosting provider, explain your site requirements and ask about recommended hosting plans.
