+ <h2>Note on Bandwidth</h2>

+ <p>
+ Video sharing is the most bandwidth intensive thing on the internet!
+ If you plan on just having a small personal site with a few viewers and friends, that won't be a big concern,

+ This level is far beyond what most sites need, but it might be an issue with a video site!

+ So if you plan on having a big video-sharing PeerTube site, it's a good idea to host it with a provider that offers infinite bandwidth.
+ I strongly recommend getting a separate VPS with <a href="https://my.frantech.ca/aff.php?aff=3886">Frantech/BuyVM</a>.
