  • 0

If I embed a Youtube video on my web page, what are the data usage implications on my server?
I have a shared web hosting plan for my website with a data transfer limit of 5 GB/month. When a user plays video on my site, is my server taxed for data transfer i.e. if the video is of size 1GB, is my data transfer limit decreased by 1GB?
And is my server processor taxed for video streaming?
What other things should I be concerned about?

Is there any link you can point me towards? That will be helpful.

Thanks

    Both the youtube player and the video content is streamed from Youtube’s server. The only price you pay is the few bytes it takes to add the video player embed code in your HTML pages.
