What web hosting provider would you recommend for a website that has a lot of video uploading/downloading or something similar to video conferencing?

The following post in our Reader Question series is an actual user submitted question:
Q: What web hosting provider would you recommend for a website that has a lot of video uploading/downloading or something similar to video conferencing?
For a media intensive site, we would probably recommend Lunarpages. As our web hosting report card shows, Lunarpages has exhibited very fast download times as well as consistently speedy server response times. Bluehost and Hostmonster are also very good, and a bit cheaper, though their server response time is not quite as high (though when you're talking about fractions of a second, it's not that significant). Those should be fine for video uploading and downloading, provided that you're not running a massive video distribution service.
We never tested any sort of web-enabled video conferencing with web hosting, so it's hard to give you advice on that. We did test several video conferencing solutions when we tested online meeting software, but these are not made to run from a website.

It doesnt really matter much as only as you pick the right package. Make sure that you plan has the sufficent amount of storage space and bandwidth. Many hosting companies now provide unlimited storage and sometimes unlimited bandwidth*. I have been using HostGator and our experience has been great.
