10 Best Video Hosting Sites for 2025

When you hear "video hosting platform," your mind probably pictures YouTube, right? YouTube has become a household name for hosting (and watching) video content. In fact, it had over 2.5 billion monthly active users worldwide in 2024.

However, YouTube is not the only online video platform available. Depending on what you want your video to do, other social media video platforms may be more suitable for you. 

In this guide, we'll cover ten of the best video hosting platforms (paid and free) to help you better understand the options available as a content creator, professional, or small business owner.

What is video hosting?

Video hosting is an online service that stores, manages, and delivers video content through dedicated platforms. It’s specific to digital tools. Sharing videos via a USB stick or physical memory card doesn’t count as hosting.

Video hosting platforms upload your videos to their servers, manage privacy settings, and enable easy embedding on websites. While some video software may include hosting features, most platforms focus on efficient storage and distribution.

If you have a WordPress (or other website development service), you might have thought, "Why can't I just host a video directly on my website?"

Large video files can slow your website because they consume significant bandwidth and increase page load times. This negatively affects user experience, as visitors may leave before engaging with your content.

By using a video hosting platform, you can embed videos via links while optimizing your site’s speed and performance. Many hosting platforms also provide built-in audiences, analytics, and advanced features, which make them ideal for content creators and businesses.

Best free and paid video hosting sites

1) YouTube - Best for: Content Creators looking to monetize

YouTube

Of course, we couldn't make a guide about video hosting platforms without discussing the most iconic video-sharing platform, YouTube. Behind Google, it's the second most popular search engine, with an average of 33.04 billion visits per month. 

Started in 2005, Jawed Karim, one of the YouTube co-founders, uploaded the very first YouTube video titled "Me at the zoo." Since then, YouTube has exploded in popularity, and Google bought the platform just a year later, in 2006.

These days, video creators of all kinds upload videos on the platform. For most, it's a passion project, but for other professional creators and small businesses, it's a lucrative income stream.

YouTube key features

Access to certain features on YouTube depends on three stages, Standard, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each stage also varies depending on the level of identity verification you provide. 

Standard features include:

• Upload videos (daily limits apply; higher limits are available with verification, though exact numbers are not clearly documented).

• Create a playlist (same as above).

• Community tab (same as above).

Intermediate features include:

• Longer videos (more than 15 minutes). This requires verification—a phone number only gives you limited daily limits, and ID verification offers higher limits.

• Live streaming on a computer (same limits as above).

• Customized thumbnails (same as above).

• Create a podcast (only requires phone number verification).

Advanced features (ID verification) include:

• Content ID appeal.

• Embed live streams.

• Apply for monetization (as long as you fulfill the eligibility requirements).

• Clickable links in long-form video descriptions and community posts.

• Add related videos to YouTube Shorts.

• Adding chapters to videos.

• Pin comments on videos and community posts.

• Create additional YouTube channels for your account.

YouTube pros

• Uploading videos on YouTube is 100% free.

• YouTube has a massive built-in audience your videos can reach.

• You can find almost any niche on YouTube.

• YouTube monetization is fairly straightforward. Plenty of creators make their living from the platform.

• YouTube has great ease of use, and it's accessible on virtually any device with an internet connection.

• It's easy to share YouTube videos to other social media platforms (or cross-post social media videos to YouTube).

YouTube cons

• The competition for creators is huge—more than 500 hours of video is uploaded to the site every minute, equating to 82.14 years' worth of content daily.

• Since it's free to use, YouTube can be a breeding ground for trolls and unhelpful criticism.

• The algorithm is dynamic and can change at any moment, making it challenging to stay on top of what works and doesn't.

• Video editing is not an easy skill to learn. It takes time and practice unless you get expert video editing services to help you.

YouTube pricing

• The platform is free for uploading videos.

• There is a YouTube Premium plan designed for consumers priced at $13.99 per month (individual) or $22.99 per month (family), though prices may vary locally.

• This plan gives users an ad-free experience, offline viewing, background play, and more.

YouTube technical specifications

• YouTube prefers original 1080p HD broadcast format in MPEG-2 or MPEG-4:

  • MPEG-2

    • Audio codec: MPEG Layer II or Dolby AC-3

    • Audio bitrate: 128 kbps or better

  • MPEG-4

    • Video codec: H.264

    • Audio codec: AAC

    • Audio bitrate: 128 kbps or better

• Framerates should be native without resampling, but it's generally recommended that videos should be in 24 or 30 frames per second (FPS).

• Generally, YouTube video aspect ratios are 16:9 (landscape) or 9:16 (vertical/portrait).

• Aim for the highest resolution available to you—a recommended minimum resolution is 1280 x 720 (720p), but 1920 x 1080 (1080p HD) and onward (ex. 4K) is better.

2) Vimeo - Best for: filmmakers and internal business content 

Vimeo

The next biggest name in the video hosting platform world is Vimeo. Vimeo actually launched a year before YouTube in 2004, under the parent company Connected Ventures (the folks who made CollegeHumor). 

The platform itself offers a significantly different experience. It's not just a video host capable of video-on-demand (VOD) and live streaming. You can also use it to create videos. 

In terms of content, the platform is known to be one of the best places to find high-quality indie and professional filmmaker content. Plus, creators will likely find constructive criticism from other creators instead of random comments.

Vimeo features

• For viewers, the Vimeo platform categorizes content for easy navigation to what you want to watch. Plus, "Staff Picks" typically offer extremely high-quality viewing.

• For creators, Vimeo offers a place to store your video content online and a platform to create and edit your videos with AI functionality.

• Vimeo also has different monetization strategies (instead of ad-based), including creating your own OTT digital subscription or paid, premium VOD.

• For businesses, Vimeo offers a platform with enhanced privacy and security for internal business content and video events. Additionally, businesses can use the platform for training videos with a video knowledge-base.

Vimeo pros

• The most well-known video hosting platform (besides YouTube), which means you can find an audience there.

• Content on the platform is categorized, making it easier to establish yourself within a niche as a creator.

• The platform is multifunctional instead of just a video host and player.

• With the paid plans, the platform is much more secure if you need internal business video content.

• You can make your videos interactive with polls, Q&As, and more.

• The platform itself is ad-free.

Vimeo cons

• Unlike YouTube, you don't have virtually endless storage. The free plan only comes with 1GB of storage. The most storage you can get (publicly available) is 5TB on the Advanced plan.

• Proper privacy controls only kick in on the paid plans. At the free level, you can only have public or completely private videos—there is no unlisted option.

• The platform being ad-free means it must make its money elsewhere. That comes from platform subscriptions for those who want to upload and host content.

Vimeo pricing

• Free plan available.

• The starter plan starts at $9 per month/seat with annual billing ($15 billed monthly).

• The standard plan starts at $19/m/s with annual billing ($31 billed monthly).

• The advanced plan starts at $60/m/s with annual billing ($100 billed monthly).

• Contact sales for Enterprise plan pricing.

Vimeo technical specifications

• Regardless of the plan you choose, there is a 250GB and 24-hour limit per video file. Additionally, each self-serve (non-Enterprise) plan has 2TB of bandwidth.

• Vimeo supports 4K and HDR, as well as Dolby Vision.

• The Vimeo player is not necessarily designed with vertical content in mind, so it's best to go with widescreen formats like 16:9 aspect ratios.

• Video storage size options vary depending on your plan:

  • Free: 1GB

  • Starter: 100GB

  • Standard: 1TB

  • Advanced: 5TB

• Vimeo has a page for recommended video, color, and audio settings for your content on the platform.

3) Vidyard - Best for: Businesses with lots of video content

Vidyard

Launched in 2010, Vidyard is a video messaging and asynchronous communication platform. It's designed to help businesses with prospecting and introductions in sales, sales support, marketing, and corporate comms. 

Like Vimeo, Vidyard is multifunctional. You can use it to host your video content, but it offers a whole suite of tools and integrations for business use cases, including AI Avatars and AI script generation.

However, the platform itself isn't for general video content consumption—users can't use it to browse video content. That means it does not have a built-in audience, and your content is not discoverable.

Vidyard features

• Fast video uploads with a wide range of format compatibility.

• Embed videos anywhere: your website, emails, company portal, knowledge base, or wherever you need them with an embed code.

  • Video: H.264, progressive (deinterlaced), framerate: same as source file, bitrate: variable.

  • Audio: AAC, 2-channel stereo (mono is supported if part of source file), 48khz sample rate. Bitrate is an allowable min/max range based on source file:

  • Resolution: Up to 4K video (360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 2160p). Vidyard encodes the video and makes it available in all resolutions, from the original resolution to 360p.

How to choose a video hosting site

With all the options available, you're probably thinking, "How do I choose between them?"

The answer lies in creating a list of criteria to compare each tool against. We'd recommend using the following list:

• Cost: What is your budget? Do you need a comprehensive solution? Or do you just need a simple video-sharing tool?

• Video player quality: Depending on what you need the video hosting platform for, the quality of the video player it offers may matter. Does the player have all the controls you want viewers to have? Is it customizable to your brand?

• Upload limits: If you have an extensive library of high-quality video content, the storage limit of the solution is a significant factor you need to consider.

• Platform reach: If you're a creator looking to build an audience, you'll want to consider the potential reach of your content.

• Privacy and sharing controls: If you're a business that needs video hosting for internal needs (like video onboarding and training), privacy controls matter. What level of security do you need?

• Embedding and customization: How easy is it to do with the video host if you own a website you'd like to embed videos on? Can you customize the player to match the destination page?

• Monetization: If you want to make money with your content, what type of monetization matters most to you? Or does having a variety of monetization options matter more?

• Analytics: Whether you want the general public to watch your videos or your business employees only, it's always good to have analytics. You should be able to track and improve your audience views, retention, and engagement at the minimum.

Using this list of criteria and answering the questions should help you narrow down your best video hosting site options.

Video hosting FAQs

What is the best website to host videos?

Determining the best video hosting website depends on what you need one for. If you want to build a large audience, YouTube is the best option. But if you need a highly secure video host for internal business needs, SproutVideo might be the best option.

Which website is best for uploading videos?

For pure ease of use, the best website for uploading videos is Vimeo. Uploading videos is simple and doesn't require you to fill in a lot of information just to upload. 

Which video hosting service offers the best features for small businesses?

For small businesses, Wistia offers marketing-focused features, professional player appearance, meaningful analytics, and more manageable pricing than other hosting options. 

But other options are also great, depending on your small business needs. For example, Jetpack VideoPress is the most affordable option for WordPress site users, while if you want to focus on sales and lead generation, Vidyard offers more sales integration features.

What is better than Vimeo?

Vimeo is an excellent option for filmmakers looking for a fellow artistic critique. If you want a wider audience reach, YouTube is a better option.
