Recommendations for new tube site - GoFuckYourself.com

Mike_P · 09-09-2013, 07:50 PM

Well I've read a bit about the biz and I'm ready to get my feet wet with a tube site.
Can you recommend me:
cheap template
cheap video editor
cheap cms
Cheap hosting that can handle well a tube site
Should I host the videos myself or just embed them? What's the difference? (apart from the obvious bandwidth usage on the host server).
The idea here is that the site can be handled well by one guy after it's ready.

You will prob need a custom template, zuzana designs has some pre made ones that look good.

As for the script I would go with smart tube pro or mechbunny .

I use XR Networks as my hosting doug the owner is a nice guy and is always online to help.

I am brand new to the industry and still learning feel free to private message me ur skype or ICQ and we can chat.

Thanks for the recommendations but some of those are too pricy for me (I'm starting with only a couple hundred bucks).
Is the wp tube interface worth it or should I check kernel video sharing (pricing is quite reasonable)?

We would love to host your tube on our very fast cloud network.

We can have your setup for as little as 7 dollar per month 5gb SSD space 50gb transfer

Next option would be

13 dollar per month 10gb SSD space 100gb transfer

Is it best to host the vids of just embed them from another site?

Mike

I am currently hosting at diploy and their SSD severs just scream catch me if you can.

Since you're on a budget, embedding is the way to go.

Mike_P · 09-11-2013, 10:37 PM

Yeah, it sounds like it. I'll probably upgrade once the money starts coming in. Since I`m only embedding, which is the best cms for the job?

Tdash · 09-12-2013, 04:05 PM

I've never used a CMS, always written my own scripts. But I would recommend Wordpress based on its popularity.

Hello Mike,

For your Tube CMS and Theme, check out Tube Ace for WordPress. Tube Ace can handle Sponsor-Hosted videos or user/admin uploads.

I recommend Certified Hosting which has FFMpeg already installed should you need to generate thumbnails and/or do video conversions.

Thanks,
Chris
