Hats off to Bruce Wedding from Mexico for some brutal, \u201cjust get it done\u201d talk on a recent WF post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Quit screwing around and get an Amazon S3 account. There’s no money down, no monthly commitment, just pay for what you use at DIRT cheap rates. I’d be surprised if your bill is more than $1 a month. After that, produce MP4 files, upload using the S3 Organizer Add-in for Firefox, set the ACL to everybody and copy the url to the clipboard. Install the JW Player plugin for your blog and use the shortcode: [jwplayer config=”myplayer” file=”myamazonurl.com\/bucket\/video.mp4″]
\nDone.
\nIf you want more protection, use S2Member and they have built in ways to really lockdown your videos making them impossible to share and very hard to download.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"s3\"<\/a>Can\u2019t get much clearer than that!<\/p>\n

Thanks Bruce. I had a similar issue about hosting videos offline when my government clients locked down access to YouTube. Now, I\u2019m sorted.<\/p>\n

Oh, and another cloud host service to watch is MaxCDN \u2013 annual rate but competitive. There are a TON of cloud hosts around now. Amazon seems to be (a) built for the job and easy to load\/stream video (b) around for the long haul which means my assets won\u2019t disappear into the ether (I hope).<\/p>\n

I tried S2 but opted for WishList Member<\/a>. They seem to have the membership site space locked down but S2 had some good features.<\/p>\n

CHECKLIST<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
