I had already made a list of known youtube clone scripts in our signup page ( http://meekhost.com/compare_hosting_packages.php), but I never had the chance to make reviews about these youtube clone scripts, and I believe that this post will help you choose the best for you.

Vshare YouTube Clone - it has free templates available, yet theming vshare with a custom template is hard (from my experience).  Yet, the features are great and simple.  Support is great also.  Price is cheap!  It has lots of potential for a low price.  It include SEO’d urls.  Can be a great starter and long term video script.  It’s just not that easy to install in some cases. Requires PHP5 (see help if you are going to install VSHARE) - http://buyscripts.in

Clip-Share Video Sharing - The most supported and common youtube clone script.  The design for their new version is great!  It has lots of mods (paid and free) available in the forums.  The usual problems with clip-share other than installation problems, is the cost.  License is not cheap, and great mods costs mid $XX too.  Clip-Share can be the best choice if you have the money to invest in it. http://clip-share.com

Rayzz Multi-Media script - Can be also termed as the gods of all clip-share scripts.  Features, design, support, and security are great… it’s just the costs that really unfortunate.  Around $400, and asking for more assistance will cost you more.  If you were to run rayzz, I recommend running it atleast in a VPS if you are expecting over 3000 uniques a day.  http://products.agriya.com

phpmotion - do doesn’t know this script? Free and well supported.  Design is good, and as well as security since the developers are aware of the bugs since reports are easily done in their websites.  Installation level is somewhat from easy-moderate.  Very few had problems with it installed, yet some people just don’t know how to chmod files right.  They have few mods now available, yet people are still wating for the ultimate multi-server support. http://phpmotion.com

vidiscript - the fast rising competitor of phpmotion.  Installation is a breeze! Very easy.  Design is acceptable, features is also nice, but what’s also nice is that they have these great upgrades which are somehow affordable. http://vidiscript.com

We are having issues with the compatibility of php5 with FFMPEG.  We will update everyone via e-mail and community forum once we have fixed this problem.

This problem was caused by an update of FFMPEG which has affected PHP5 in executing conversion with FFMPEG tools.

We are now currently developing our forum as a community were webmaster can share revenue through advertising.  Through posting, forum members will be able to earn real $!

We are still organizing the idea on what kind of advertisement and on how these earnings will be divided to the participating members.  All of these will be fully automated.  We are considering Adsense publisher ID as the adsense revenue sharing program we are about the apply in the community.  Expect this feature in the next few days!

We are a Host that you pay by posting, and you earn by posting!

Great things happen in Meek Host. :)

We have successfully transfered our forum and index page in a different server.

Incase you have troubles with your websites, or a hosting server — our forum is most likely up even the hosting server is down. This will not put you into any panic or worried if meekhost is gone… well, we do not plan to…

The current issues we have right now is the overflow of e-mail that we have in our server which causes delays for e-mail verifications, other than that we have terminated over 200 accounts, and 20% are spam or phising accounts. Some banks have contacted us about this, some e-mail police and we took care of these problems. That is why we are now much stricter in the new signups, 1 IP for 1 account. 1 account for 1 hosting package. Although, you can always ask to upgrade anytime you’ll be needing it, upon our approval ofcourse.

We apologize for the 5 hours downtime we had for the past 2 days.  It was caused by a hardware failure.  The memory to be exact.  This issue has been fixed, and we are in sensitively monitoring the server.

We have just activated our MeekStarter for post-for-hosting plan.  For 15 post a month, you get 500 MB space, 30GB Bandwidth.  This includes ffmpeg tools for running youtube clone scripts, cPanel and Fantastico auto-installer.  All you have to do is manage your packages via MH Accounts ( http://accounts.meekhost.com ) and click the eedit package button image beside your hosting package.  From there, you will see text boxes where you will place your forum username and password.  Every post you will make will be recorded and our system will tell you if you reached your monthly post requirement.

 What happens if I do not reach the monthly posts requirement?
We do not suspend/cancel right away websites who can not meet the monthly post, but rather we place our advertisements on their webpages in order to compromise with Meek Host.  For more information, go to this link: http://help.meekhost.com/entry/17/

Who are affected?
Affected accounts are only those MeekStarter Hosting Packages created after the date march 01, 2008.  Acounts created before that date will have no changes with their accounts.  They will be offered with space lower than the Meek Starter plan available today.  If you want the new plan, the free order is easy. For more information, go to: http://meekhost.com.

Will there be anymore changes?
We do not expect any changes right now.  Sorry for all the trouble, but we are doing this to supply you, and keep our financial health better in the comming years.  We are not here to stay for a few months.  We gaurantee that we will be reliable in serving quality free hosting.

Meek Host is known to be one of the first providers of free ffmpeg hosting.

Mar 8

Meek Host is happy to say that we ranked number 1 in google search engine with keywords “free ffmpeg hosting” and “free ffmpeg host”.  Because that’s what we are!  Free hosting providers that supports youtube clone scripts (not limited just for youtube clone scripts of course!  We support any scripts running in php)

Cheers for all Meek Users! :P

This MeekStarter hosting plan is now updated, kindly visit: http://blog.meekhost.com/2008/03/meek-host-updates/meekstarter-now-a-post-for-host-package-500mb-space-30gb-bandwidth-cpanel-with-fantastico-for-15-postsmonth 

 — OLD MESSAGE BELOW — 

We are planning to MODIFY the MeekStarter with 500MB Space, 30GB Bandwidth, for 15 posts/ month, or 1 post for every 2 days.

WHY IS THIS?
We would like to let you know that as a provider, we also love to see people in our forum. We are building a community for webmasters, which can be really helpful for the optimization of services and your websites. We just do not love hosting, we love talking. And we are funny people.

IS THIS HARD?
Of course not. It’s just like talking, and waiting for responses. Do not worry, our forum is well-regulated and moderated. We add moderators when in need, and to provide the optimal services, we need you too.

ARE YOU BROKE?
Well, this is a funny question. If we are, then we will not be buying with hundreds of $$$$ for licenses and a server (yes, we are all using legal scripts!). We are not broke, but we need funds for helping us add it to what we pay. We do not pay our servers monthly. We pay for what we have such as servers yearly. So, do not worry. We are a free web hosting host that started to buy a year long of dedicated servers. You deserve to receive the most convenience.

ARE YOU IN A HURRY?
No sir. We are just fast. :) It’s better to start early while we can accommodate all of the people who needs hosting. We are just few of those hosting providers who can actually say we provide quality and rich feature hosting. Even better than those paid.

We will love to hear from you! :)
