Tube site on Amerinoc?
 

I`ve been doing some research on hosting for a tube site. I think I`m going to go with an Amerinoc VPS for a start, until traffic grows. What VPS plan would you recommend for a start ? Keep in mind that I`m trying to keep the costs low in the beginning and that I will only be embedding sponsor videos. Also, I couldn`t find anywhere if their VPS plans include ffmpeg, which I understand is needed for thumbnail generation. I`m going to use the TubeAce script, if that is of any relevance.

Not currently using them but when I was I used their 2nd tier managed (MVPS2) and it was just fine with a medium-ish traffic tube site. That seems to be the best value.

If you are going managed, they will install whatever software you need. Just message them with your requirements and they'll take care of it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Does "managed" mean that they will install scripts for me and stuff? I`m not sure it`s worth paying an additional $200 or so a year just for that (at least in the beginning), because I only need to install the tube script, and that won`t be a problem. Is there any other difference between managed and umanaged? Do I still get a control panel (like cpanel for shared) of some sort to make things easier? If there`s no major difference, then I`d rather go with the unmanaged equivalent of the MVPS2. Any other suggestions guys?

Maybe you can take a look at smutnode.com a full hosted tube solution! Still in the early beta stage, but it's getting better ;)

Yeah I`ve seen your service but I`m not that big of a newbie, I want to host my own tube and I can handle a tube script. :)
