Hello
I am very curious about the unlimited disk space that you mention in your wordpress hosting plan.
Can i host video files as mpg , avi, mkv ? The website would be video streaming related. For this money unlimited disk space is HUGE.....Try to consider that i woukd like to use maybe 20-30 terabytes

Hello, Thank you for your question regarding disk space for video files. While it is unlimited disk space, often streaming this many videos from a Shared/Business server may affect other users. Shared Hosting is very similar to living in an Apartment Complex. All residents are in the same location and must share the available resources with everyone. For more information, see our article Differences between Shared Hosting, VPS Hosting, and Dedicated Hosting. When adding video to your site, you will have the option to either embed or upload the content to your site. There are benefits to each, though overall embedding is the strongly recommended choice. Here is a helpful link to our article on Embedding vs Uploading videos in WordPress posts and pages. It discusses and compares the benefits of both options in detail. Thank you, John-Paul
