The Best Services for Hosting Your Website’s Videos

1. Don’t host them on your own website 00:51
   • This takes up a ton of space and drains your website resources.
2. YouTube 01:21
   • This is the most popular and largest platform for hosting videos.
   • It’s also the second largest search engine in the world, which means a whole lot of people are using it.
   • The best part is that YouTube is free!
3. Vimeo 02:37
   • This is another free platform, but not as popular as YouTube.
   • However, it can be fantastic for hosting videos for your online course.
   • We use Vimeo for our online course, Become a Divi Business Expert, which is opening up for new students soon!
   • A great feature of the Pro plan is that it locks down your videos, so people can’t share videos in your online courses.
4. Wistia 05:32
   • This is a more high-end video hosting provider for businesses.
   • Their bread and butter is the built in analytics features.
   • This software is much pricier than other options, but it is feature rich.
   • The Wistia blog has a ton of great content for creating great videos.
5. Amazon S3 07:39
   • This is another popular options for hosting videos.
   • There are not analytics, but the hosting is super cost effective.
