need web hosting

[Buddy_Christ]

where can i go for it? i've got some vids i'd like to put up. they're vids from today in the gym. i mainly wanna put up a deadlift vid for critique, and watching it now i think i see where i need to improve.

nothing overly impressive, i worked 175lb deads today (5x5, well, last set was for 10) and before that did 5x5 seated OHP with 125lbs.

the video was shot on my digital in 640x480 resolution. the largest one is 28.8mb. even yahoo won't let me upload that (limit is 5mb for an upload) and my cable company has a limit on me of 15mb of web space and they'll charge me $1/mb for going over it.

knew i should've shot the video in crappy resolution...files would've been half size or even smaller.

thanks for help.

You're not gonna get many d/l's per month with files that size with the entry level hosting packages. They give you 500-1,000MB transfer per month. Try www.dreamhost.com or www.he.com , I think that's hurricane electric.

where can i go for it?

Download Windows Media Encoder (free)

Have it recompress your video into windows media format AND resize it to 320x240....that will shrink it waaaay down.

OR:

Download Virtual Dub (Vdub) and the Divx codec..... re-encode and resize using that stuff.

hmmm, i was lookin for some freebies. damnit, i need to figure out how to host my own stuff off of my own computer. this thing was up for 73 days straight until the damn power blinked out this afternoon. kinda pissed too, cause i love the stability linux gives.

jnuts - can't do that. i don't use windows. thanks for the tips though.

ah... download xvid and command line re-size and re-encode...

Apache is probably on your distro... enable httpd and open port 80 on your firewall.... host files off your machine.


and watch all the little script kiddie shits try harder at hacking into your machine

i'm running mandrake 9.2. walk me through this if you can.

i only switched to linux cause i wasn't going to buy winXP and i hate win98. i know about enough in linux to get me by and that's about it hey, this thing runs itself, well, it did for 73 days til that damn power blink

no no no no no i will NOT use XP. i actually have it on a spare hard drive. i used it for 3 weeks and i HATED it. i don't have room for that hard drive in the computer either. EIDE connections and i'm already running 4 things (2 hard drives, 1 CDRW, 1 DVDROM).

if you can help me out when you are able i'd more than appreciate it. i'm on a reasonably fast cable connection, so hosting some of my own stuff wouldn't hurt, as long as i can control what is and what isn't availible.

wonder if my router will get in the way of this. thanks.
