I don't want to do just what I do. But would like a hosting site exclusively for hosting both video and sound of what other people do. And I am interested in having a tech corner dealing with using all types of media, including, especially, what pertains to security and privacy. Anyone here have platforms like that or could give advice otherwise?

I use hostwinds.com: https://www.hostwinds.com/ They have low priced plans that you can sign up for monthly or for a few years. The prices double after the initial trial, so if you are sure you are going to do it for a long time, sign up for 2 or 3 years! I don't know if you need "shared" (cheaper) or VPS, but if you are just storing videos then shared might work. They have good chat support. GoDaddy and a bunch of other companies do the same thing -- do your due diligence.

Broadjam has hosting sites: https://www.broadjam.com/ $200 a year or $300 for two years. My broadjam hosting site: https://johnlarenceschick.com/home Never had any problems with them. They have a lot of templates. Best, John

I use Stablepoint https://stablepoint.com/They are in the UK and have plans starting at 3.25 pounds for a single site or 6.25 pounds for up to 6 sites. That's monthly. If you pay for a year, those prices are 39 and 74.99 pounds. I host audio and video on my site mysteriousbeings.com without a problem. It is a Wordpress site. Although they are based in the UK, my sites are hosted in servers in the US. I also have a site with a forum along the lines of this one, though with a lot less traffic, and it runs smoothly, all included in the 6.25 pound deal (currently about $8.50 per month). The reason I use them is their outstanding customer service. I had to move several sites from another host and they held my hand through the whole process and made it really easy.

If you are looking to host your own site, make sure your hosting company offers C-Panel It is a service that can automate the installation of many of the most popular server script based software...such as Wordpress....but so much more It also has lots of good tools. You need a basic understanding of website design and how to use the tool you download, but installation and maintenance is pretty easy https://cpanel.net/Note you are not their customer...web hosting companies are.
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

This is great advice! A lot to consider with user with hosting sites.
I have listened to people on terrestrial radio where I live, like Kim Komando and Leo La porte. I want to do something like that but want to create with the web. This will be bookmarked. Thanks very much for the info!

Keep in mind you can't play or otherwise use other people's music. That requires a license.

I know those confines with the public domain. The more conventional route would have been posting covers to find a reference point for an upstart. With the permissions Easier for me than originals, but I want to create.
It can be hard to know what is original or covered since so much has been picked over. It is another thing altogether making original thoughts understandable.
There is quite a bit to wade through not being good on the instrument or a natural talent.

You can post covers on YouTube, just not on your own domain as I understand it. But certainly consult an attorney in your jurisdiction. There are thousands of years of public domain music, depending on your jam. I suggest starting with those, perhaps repurposing them to your needs.
Good luck,
Brian

I don't state enough the influence of sites like this. I like originals specifically. I have been on and off again in the public domain. But want to stay more with it. I was considering a domain site regarding works, both video and audio from various members, as well as a site that gets in to internet security and tech experts.
My next step is in a good domain server.
