So I've got a relatively straightforward, simple business model that I think could compete with pornhub (no joke). I have a good idea of my approach, how to break into the market, etc etc. I have some background in IT (albeit on a broad level) but I'm trying to figure out exactly how I should be starting a video sharing website.
The general consensus appears to be to host with wordpress, potentially using an amazon instance. Where I'm at a bit of an impasse is on what approach I should take to host video content. Most people seem to agree that hosting your own content isn't smart (although couldn't a scalable amazon instance solve this problem?). So what's the alternative? This is porn, so I can't have material being pulled down, and it needs to be seamlessly integrated for the user to upload.
Any advice is much appreciated!
-p.s., if you're in the Richmond or DC area, I am looking for a CTO type partner for this venture. Let me know if interested.
