Note on Bandwidth

+ +

+ 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, + but most VPS providers like Vultr have caps on how much bandwidth can be used within a month without being throttled. + 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 Frantech/BuyVM. + They have unmetered bandwidth, extremely cheap block storage for hosting many, many videos and they even have a good record of being censorship resistant. +

Prerequisites
