Video Hosting allows for people to upload video bits or video clips to an Internet website. By video hosting, one means that the website itself will store the video clip on its server and then have it available for other individuals to watch whenever they want. Since most people do not have personal web space or web hosting where they can have their own video hosting, then sites offering video hosting services are quite popular today, especially among young people who also surf through blogs, forums and other interactive content throughout the web.
In addition, the purchasing of camera phones has increased greatly and with it, users' access to cameras which can record video. The camera phones are available to shoot anything – any social event, party, conference, friends and anything else that might come to mind. Therefore, with it increased the demand for video hosting services. Today, traditional forms of personal video distribution, such as making a DVD to show your soccer team highlights of the last game, are not as popular as using video hosting services to upload a video clip. In addition, at home, resolution and high volume of camera phone clips are not suited, while internet connections have a much better effect and once again, video hosting is the solution. The most popular among video hosting sites is YouTube, although it has several competitors and local sites which offer similar services.
