VideoPress for self hosted and some vlog info

Vlogging seems to become more and more popular these days, in fact i feel like getting into it sometime soon. Getting a good video hosting site are a pain in the ass especially if you worry or know nuts about formats, bandwidth and stuff like that. Well wordpress have an option for you to post video using wordpress own video host ; VideoPress (watch the video above).  I did mention about VideoPress earlier before (saw it off wordpress Planet). Saw another videopress earlier(above video) , thats why i’m sharing it right now.

Sadly VideoPress is still not open to self host like myself to D.i.y. Instead i will have to go through wordpress.com , sign a account there(if you dont have yet) , pay for the service, install a plugin to allow easy embedding and , WP.com will do the magic for me. Which i think will work since i don’t really have to worry so much about formats and bandwidth.

Personally if you’re a vlogger that already gets an “Ok” amount of $ from your current blog or rather have a day job that gives you a steady rate of income, maybe its time to try out VideoPress. Here’s what VideoPress can offer you ,

  1. No bandwidth limit (unless you use up too much)
  2. More than 10 mins of video time (Here’s an hour long vid )
  3. HD as standard (1280 x 720)
  4. Loads pretty fast
  5. Easy embedding (either plugin or HTM, i use HTML to embed)
  6. Is it made by wordpress after all, what more confirmation do you need? :P

Or maybe you prefer to view it in action again? Let the video explain to you perhaps?..

Anyway , check out wordpress.tv for more VideoPress hosted video and decide for yourself if videopress suits your needs. In anyways, there’s still other host , check out Make internet TV for info on both popular and alternative video hosts and how to get started on vlogging.

Here’s also a link to CNET guide to paying for a webhost. (read it off make internet TV)

PS : not affilated or paid by make internet tv, CNET and wordpress. Watching the video or clicking on the links does not make me a single cent. I stress again, i’m not paid. I think i need a donation option soon :( ..
