Can I use my website hosting to store and play videos?

You can publish videos on your website if the hosting environment and service terms allow it. Storage is not the only consideration, though: playback can generate data transfer and simultaneous connections, while visitors’ experience also depends on file formats and their internet connection.

Before uploading a video library, check storage and data transfer limits, any restrictions on media files, and support for browser playback. Compress your files and avoid autoplay. For longer or frequently watched content, consider a dedicated video platform with a player embedded in your pages. Also check its privacy settings if the videos are not intended to be public.
