Hosting for video storage and streaming?

Question

Web development

Guys, there is a desire to make a site similar to YouTube, so that I upload videos there and, accordingly, visitors watch. In this regard, there are several questions:

1. Tell me what kind of hosting is suitable for this? Anyone with unlimited storage and bandwidth?
2. Imagine for a moment that the site has become popular, is there a chance that the hoster can squeeze it out, and if so, how to protect yourself from this?
3. If there are problems with the copyright holders of the video, how can this affect me? Can the hosting disable me or these problems do not concern them?

Answer 1

1. Amazon S3.
   
2. To Amazon, mastodons like Walmart are rogue and small fry. If your site ever reaches the same scale, you can build your own data centers.
   
3. Any good hosting will block pirates instantly. Abusive hosts are expensive, unstable, have bandwidth issues, and tend to disappear.
   

Answer 2

Oh, those enthusiasts with their wet dreams...)))
When you can keep your own data center, then you can make a site like YouTube.
In the meantime, study what is "layout", what is "front / back", what is "find an investor and sell him an idea", etc.

Answer 3

"Squeeze" is not such a thing in the law. The hoster can block the site for violating the laws of the country. And then there are providers.
Are you trying to make a banned video site? Then run away with your content, to some Cocos Islands, because here even Amazon is not your helper.

Answer 4

Imagine 1 point for yourself, calculate how much you will have to vomit and ... forget
