  • If you can’t afford the bandwidth costs (and for large movies, it can be pretty huge), you have two choices:

    1. Find another free hosting service like YouTube that will allow your videos.
    2. Get a CDN and store the videos there. You will have to pay for this, but it will be cheaper then serving the videos through your standard hosting account.

    well i really appreciate your suggestions but problem is that youtube is banned in my location

    tell me how can i upload videos and they can play in html 5 player

    if it is possible to upload videos to my google drive n then get their embed code to publish on my site if it is so tell me

    Notice that I said like YouTube. I know other places/comapnies/etc that have blocks on YouTube as well. There are a lot of other video hosting services around, so I’d avdise you to do a search or two to find some that suit your needs.

    Uploading your own videos is easy. Just host them somewhere and use the video tag. As an exmaple…

    <video poster="https://site.com/poster.jpg">
  <source src="https://site.com/myvideo.mp4" type="video.mp4" />
</video>

    There’s lots of options that you can use for that so do some research.

    You should be able to host video files on yor Google drive. I haven’t tried it before, but as long as you can get a public URL for the actual video file you’ll be fine.
