Mr-Protocol Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 If you are hosting it from your house, I doubt you have the bandwidth needed to supply to the users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 What is the upload speed for the server and how large is an average page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRGRIM Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 If you are hosting it from your house, I doubt you have the bandwidth needed to supply to the users. Please provide details of your WAN connection, this is likely to be the cause of the problem. Have a look at getting the video contented hosted externally (I'd guess your clients may not want this) on somewhere like YouTube and then embed the videos into your website. I assume that when you view the videos internally (e.g. on your LAN) that they play ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) If you are hosting your website from a web hosting company, you might want to check out with them to see if there are any issues at their end, or you may want to upgrade to a better plan or service. Now if you are hosting from your own computer at home, then the slowness is your internet connection. Generally your upload speed is a lot slower than your download speed. I run virtual servers at home and I can tell you, the speeds aren't that great. I get an average of 60Kbps to 100Kbps upwards which is OK for what I do. But for hosting a website like Youtube forget it. The users will get very frustrated because its taking a very long time for the videos to load. Hope this helps!
