video hosting

Online clip storage

Video hosting is the service of storing and delivering video content online.

Platforms like YouTube and Vimeo provide video hosting, handling the technical infrastructure so creators can upload and share videos without managing servers themselves.

The term covers both free consumer platforms and paid services for businesses: We need reliable video hosting for our training materials.
