Hi,

Not really sure were to post this question so I hope this hits the right eyes.

I have a technical blog and I make videos using camtasia studio on my PC. This creates nice FLV videos for me to put online and stream to you, the viewer. [8-|]

The problem is that I am running out of disk space on my ISP so I need to find a file storage place online that allows streaming media to be hosted. I don't mind paying but I would rather not.

Currently, I use hotlinkfiles.com but this is proving A. Slow and B. fairly unreliable in terms of up-time so if anybody has any bright ideas I am all ears.

Thanks in advance.

Tom.

p.s. This isn't as easy as it sounds. Finding a online file store that allows streaming media is not easy.

Are you sure you’re streaming this video or just doing a progressive download? The difference in cost between the two methods of delivery is gigantic. Finding a free streaming host will definitely be much harder.
On the other hand, if all you need is progressive download, just get yourself a Web host, set up a domain which holds your files and then make request for the video from that domain.
For prices comparable to the hotlinkfiles.com pay accounts, you could have your own Web site and host huge amounts of video storage. For example
www.lunarpages.com
Even the most basic plans, less than $10 per month have multiple TB storage and bandwidth! That’s HUGE!
Good luck,
