Internet has now let us share possibly anything under the sun like thoughts, images, and videos. Now we can share our self made videos with relatives and friends across the globe. Just upload your video to an online video-hosting service, and all of your friends and neighbors can watch your latest masterpiece. Here are some of the leading sites that provide video hosting services:

1. Youtube- You Tube is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. It is the most popular and widely used video hosts now. Viewing You Tube videos on a personal computer requires the Adobe Flash Player plug-in to be installed in the browser but that cannot be called a downside because this plug in is a very common software installed on PC s and almost all videos on the net use this. The videos can be a maximum of 100MB. The one drawback is you can’t keep your videos private. You can just stop them from being unlisted on Google video search. Anyone who knows your URL has access to your video.

2. Dailymotion- Dailymotion is a video sharing service website, based in Paris, France. According to Comscore, Dailymotion is the second largest video site in the world after YouTube. Dailymotion’s large global audience and content-protection technology have also led the site to be a top partner for high-profile content publishers, while also offering an effective, brand-safe platform for advertisers. It is now the 32nd most visited online destination in the world

3. Google Video- Though Google now owns YouTube, it’s going to keep running its own separate video service. The image quality here is better than you tube and other features are almost same.

4. Grouper - Grouper is unique because they also provide desktop software that allows you to edit your videos, and upload them directly to the site. SONY bought Grouper, so you can probably expect your clips to lay next to Sony’s library of music videos and movie trailers.

5. Motionbox- Motionbox tries to cure the problem of sharing long videos by allowing you to highlight and tag portions of the video that are the most interesting parts.
