Which hosting plan for a content creator: videos, links and sponsors

Choosing the Right Plan··· 123 views· 3 min read

The short answer: a content creator lives on platforms, and the platforms are not theirs. A site of your own is the place nobody can take from you: a page with your links, your best videos, an e-mail list and a contact for brands. It is a light site, and the entry plan will do.

What the site needs

What What to do
Links page A page that gathers your networks, the latest video and what you sell. It can be your main address instead of a platform’s link: Pointing your domain at a social page.
Videos Embed them from a video service; do not store them on the hosting: Videos on your website.
E-mail list Your audience, which is yours. A newsletter reaches those who follow you without depending on the algorithm: Subscribers and newsletter.
Sponsorships and contact A page for brands: who you are, who you reach, what kind of collaboration you accept, and an e-mail on the domain.
Products or support If you sell courses, templates or merchandise, a link or a small shop: Which plan for a shop.

Getting started

1 Choose a short domain with your name or the channel’s: Choosing the right domain.
2 Start with the entry plan and a home page with links, the best videos and the list sign-up.
3 Put the address in every network’s description and every video’s, and as a QR code at events: UTM links.
4 Write the page for brands with your audience’s true figures.
5 Measure where visitors come from and choose where to invest your time.
If a platform closes your account, you lose the audience. That is why the e-mail list and the site must exist now, before you need them. And never invent follower numbers for brands: they get checked, and losing credibility costs more.
Sponsorship requests arrive by e-mail: use the domain’s address. Free e-mail or e-mail on your own domain.

Courses, templates or merchandise with many filesUltra or Businessunlimited sites, 30 to 200 GB SSD NVMe

WHEN TO MOVE UP: when you start storing large files (videos stay with the video service), when a second or third channel wants its own site, or when a newsletter sent from the hosting itself reaches the hourly limit of e-mails: 100 on the Pro plan, 200 on Plus and 300 on Ultra. Moving up does not lose the site.
