Video Gallery

The video gallery allows Insty-Site users to provide videos for their visitors. This is a difficult thing for many website designers because operating a video gallery can quickly fill any website's space or use up its bandwidth, assuming your hosting service even allows you to upload files large enough to make a decent video.

Insty-Site gives its users two options. You may upload videos to the web space, internalizing the cost of housing and displaying them or upload your videos to Youtube and embed them here in your video gallery. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Housing your videos with a third party, like Youtube, means you must conform to their terms of use policies and that may mean limiting the size of your videos.
