Hello everyone,
As you may know, I always offer sample clips for all of my videos so people can get a good idea what the videos are like before ordering them. Unfortunately, the server where several of my most recent clips used to be hosted is currently down. Very inconvenient. It may be temporary, but I have no way of knowing, and it seems possible that it could be a permanent situation. In either case I'd very much like to know if there are alternatives to the system I've been using for the last two years. I mean, even if it's temporary I'd like to have a backup, just in case.
I realize this is asking for a lot. A bunch of sample clips like mine can take up a fair amount of space and involve a huge level of bandwidth use. I don't have access to the download statistics of my clips, but I assume a lot of people check them out. Maybe thousands, I don't know. I might try to host the clips myself, but I'm not sure I can afford the bandwidth.
Do you know of any person or site that can provide such a service? I mean host a bunch of files, with virtually unlimited bandwidth, all this for free or nearly so? The files should be accessible to anyone at no cost, being free samples. I can't imagine such resources are very common, but I guess there's no harm in asking.
Again, it's possible that the current situation with my clips is only temporary. I certainly hope so, because having access to such an important service for free has been a godsend, and I'd hate to lose it. But I'd certainly be interested in hearing about any alternatives, in case they become necessary. Thank you for any advice you can provide.
