Affordable Video Hosting for Small Business
Affordable is not a plan name, it is an arithmetic problem: how much video you keep, and how much of it people actually watch. Those are the two dimensions a plan band is priced against here, so a small business can work out its own number before committing to anything. What each plan includes is recorded against that plan and read from the live catalogue on the pricing page — never restated on a marketing page like this one, where it would go stale.

The honest version
What “affordable” actually depends on
Two numbers move as a video library grows, and a small business can usually predict both.
The first is storage: how much video you keep, which grows every month you publish and rarely shrinks. The second is delivery: how much of that video is actually watched, which moves with your audience rather than your library. A five-video site with a popular launch page can use more delivery than a hundred-video archive nobody opens, and the reverse is just as common.
Plan bands here are set against exactly those two dimensions, which is why an honest answer to “what will this cost us” starts with your own numbers rather than with a plan name. Estimate both, then read the plan cards — each one lists its own inclusions from the current catalogue, and that is the only place those inclusions are published.
The two dimensions
What a plan band is priced against
Predict these two and the plan choice largely makes itself.
Stored video
Everything you keep: published material, back catalogue, recordings you have not deleted. It grows steadily and it is the easier of the two to estimate, because you already know roughly how much you publish each month.
Monthly delivery
How much video is actually sent to viewers. This moves with your audience, your launches and your busiest month — not with the size of your library. Estimate it from real traffic rather than from hope.
Inclusions, per plan
Capabilities are recorded against each plan rather than priced per dimension. Read them on the plan card you are considering; this page does not list them, because a marketing page is exactly where such a list goes out of date.
When the bands do not fit
If your storage and delivery sit outside the published bands, or you need particular terms, ask about a custom plan rather than forcing a band that does not suit the business.

Common questions
Small-business questions
Answered without a price, a promise or a plan name.
What will video hosting cost my small business?
It depends on the two dimensions above — how much video you keep and how much of it gets delivered in a month — so the useful answer comes from your numbers rather than ours. Estimate both, then read the current bands and inclusions on the pricing page, which are generated from the live catalogue. If you want help sizing it, the bandwidth estimator is linked below and we are happy to look at your figures with you.
Do small-business plans include enterprise features?
No, and it would be misleading to imply otherwise — an earlier version of this page did exactly that, and it has been removed. Capabilities are recorded against each plan, and several of them, including certain protection features, are entitlements checked against your account when you switch them on. Read the plan card for the plan you would actually buy, and if a specific capability decides the purchase, ask us to confirm it in writing before you commit.
What happens if we outgrow the plan we start on?
Both dimensions can move, and a growing library or a successful campaign will move them. That is a conversation to have before it happens rather than a surprise to discover afterwards: check where your usage sits against the published bands, and if it falls outside them, ask about a custom plan. We are not going to tell you your bill cannot grow, because that depends on how much video you keep and how much of it people watch.
Can we try it before deciding?
Yes — start a trial and run the checklist above on your own material rather than on a demo. Upload something representative, put it on a real page, and check the behaviour that matters to your business. A page you have published and tested tells you more about affordability than any comparison table, including ours.
Put this on your own pages, under your own rules
Estimate your storage and delivery, read the inclusions on the plan card, then try it on a page you have actually published.
