QUESTION (without abusing or “using too much much cpu”)
1) what web hosting?
2) how many people can view the video at the same time?
3) how many people can view the video each month?

i know that dedicated hosting is more suitable, but
is there any shared web hosting where we can put that kind of website without running into any “too much cpu”, “abuse”, or other similar problems.

Most happy people never take the time to post. Of course small companies with fewer customers will have fewer complaints and generally better support (until they get big). Try comparing the number of domains (to show relative customer base size) using a truly non-biased site like http://wwww.webhosting.info. Here's how your top 4 stackup: BlueHost - 329,760 domains HostGator - 275,381 domains Parcom - 7,949 domains 1&1 - 2,005,327 domains Regarding quality. It's all relative to what you need, what you expect and what you are willing to accept from your provider. In my opinion, all negative reviews online shoud be considered with a degree of skepticism.

Quite a good deal for your money. They have doubled space and bandwidth while I am a client I got 5 accounts, no (major) problem, only a foreign alphabet issue which was resolved in a 12 min (including waiting time) phone call. I didn't noticed the downtime on bluehost, may be the time difference played a role. Real useful article. I confirm what I say about Bluehost.

By the way, other than the downtime, I'm a big fan of bluehost. Unfortunately, that's a pretty big concern. Any thought on the validity of a denial of service attack being a legit excuse for as much down time as the two of us on blue host experienced? Great resource. Well done.
