If уου′re going tο host a lot οf videos, уου probably need a dedicated server (аѕ opposed tο a shared hosting account, wһеrе many sites аrе hosted οח a single server).

Because it is sure that the videos uploaded by people would be much unorderly, then your site must contain a video to flash video (.flv) converter that can convert all kinds of video files which are uploaded by all customers to flash video (.flv) format file.
As far as I know, Adobe® Flash® Media Interactive Server 3 can complete these tasks if you can afford it. However I think there are plenty of other solutions to accomplish the same end goal.
You will need a flash video player maker to make a flash video player to play these flash video files.
To this point, Moyea Web Player Pro can do that.

It can create a web page named index.html embedded with a web video (flash video) player named mwplayer.swf with scrollable thumbnail playlist and customizable control bar, you can add as many videos to the playlist of the player as you like. And this tutorial is for this program: http://www.flash-video-mx.com/webplayer-resources/add-videos-to-website.html
Hello,
It depends..
Will you host the videos?
Then you want ffmpeg enabled in your server.

You just need a web host supporting multimedia.
Take a look at: http://www.threehosts.com/multimedia
There you can reach the three reputable companies that are leaders in the multimedia web hosting industry.
If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months’ time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.
I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.
