If you are a low traffic website, you can host your videos on your own web server. Since there is not a whole lot of traffic going your way, there will not be any mishaps. If you are looking to increase traffic to your site, use a hosting platform. We recommend Brightcove. It ranges from $30 to $40 per month and achieves what you want and more.
