Where are video services hosted?

Question

Network administration

Good afternoon.
I wonder where all these numerous sites with series and films store content. It can be seen that many of them are simply made on ready-made engines and their owners obviously do not have much knowledge in web development to organize their own server for storing content.

Answer 1

Often hosted in the Netherlands. There are a lot of ready-made engines at a reasonable price.

Answer 2

and what is there to organize
just a server with nginx and ftp for uploading
, the setting is minimal for the most part

Answer 3

The films themselves are in storage, if there is not enough space, then increasing it is not a problem. CDN is also often used so that the video is loaded quickly anywhere in Russia / the world, because. if the video storage is located, for example, in Moscow, and the users are in Russia or around the world, then without a CDN it will slow down in distant regions. Examples of such storages with CDN: SkyparkCDN , G-Core .
To add a video to the site, it is enough to insert a link to the video in the storage into the site code and everything works. You don't need much knowledge for this.
With this usage, you pay for the amount of storage + traffic for the CDN.
