<h2>Note on Bandwidth</h2>
<p>
Video sharing is the most bandwidth intensive thing on the internet!
If you plan on just having a small personal site with a few viewers and friends, that won't be a big concern,
but most VPS providers like Vultr have caps on how much bandwidth can be used within a month without being throttled.
This level is far beyond what most sites need, but it might be an issue with a video site!

So if you plan on having a big video-sharing PeerTube site, it's a good idea to host it with a provider that offers infinite bandwidth.
I strongly recommend getting a separate VPS with <a href="https://my.frantech.ca/aff.php?aff=3886">Frantech/BuyVM</a>.
They have unmetered bandwidth, extremely cheap block storage for hosting many, many videos and they even have a good record of being censorship resistant.
