Alternative to Vimeo for business use

	Re: Alternative to Vimeo for business use by David Roth Weiss on Jun 27, 2009 at 1:31:50 pm The Vimeo fine print does say "no business use," however, they are simply trying to discourage big companies with millions of users from overwhelming their servers. If you're doing work for a Fortune 500 company and they want to use Vimeo's servers in lieu of paying for a dedicated service, that's one thing, but if you're working for a small business that another matter.

	Re: Alternative to Vimeo for business use by Franklin McMahon on Jun 28, 2009 at 3:17:54 pm A good rule of thumb is any content on a "free" site (YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, etc) can usually be pulled at any time and for any reason. And the small print typically also says they can re-purpose the content. I have recommended Libsyn/Wizzard for storage and good stats but also look at domain hosting places such as Dreamhost.com who have unlimited bandwidth. You pay a small amount for unmetered bandwidth and a secure server and never have to worry about anything.

If you read Tim Wilson's post in this thread, you can find a FREE hosting service that will support unlimited (up to) 900 pixel wide (including 720p HD) 100MB files that can be embedded and won't be pulled unless a lawyer contacts our lawyer for copyright infringement -- or if you, as the owner, want it pulled. We have a pipe that is as big as General Motors and many major multi-national corporations. Feel free to use some of it. We won't mind at all. ;o) Free. You'll find it, as Timmie says, in the orange bar at the top of the screen. It's called our REELS section.
