Need Suggestions for Adult Content Host with FFMPEG for multimedia sharing site

Hello -
I'm building a site that will allow users to upload and sell photos and videos. The site will use Wordpress with several plugins to enable my particular use case.
To this end, I am looking for suggestions for web hosts with the following features:
1) FFMPEG for video encoding, thumbnail creation
2) DDOS protection
4) Hosting in Europe or Iceland
5) Shared hosting (to build MVP, but willing to move up to VPS as well)
7) Cpanel
8) Domain alias / parking
9) Allows adult content (legal as defined by U.S. laws, of course)
11) Responsive tech support
12) PHP 4-7, PHP.ini management, .HTACCES management, ImageMagik and GD libraries
What's a reasonable price to pay for either shared hosting or VPS for the features listed above?
Have tried two hosts already, and one couldn't handle Wordpress with no traffic, oddly enough - won't name names here.
Thanks in advance for the insight.

oioi
Shared for video encoding? You're going to reach your limits fast. And possibly will get suspended for cpu abuse since its a shared enviroment.
Get a crate with dedicated resources.

No webhost is going to take this on lol. Media hosting is incredibly intensive hardware wise. Your looking at probably multiple dedicated servers depending on your traffic/audience locations not a vps and certainly not shared hosting.
Get 2 vCore dedicated VDS from

Good luck ...
work this with semi dedi hosting from namecrane?
how much @emgh can earn with total reveal ?
lmao, thanked by @Francisco
Its basically a managed VPS with dedicated resources - I dont see why not, but best to ask beforehand.
You'll be a nightmare for any host.
It'd be fine if we enabled ffmpeg I guess? Problem is people will want to use/slam it on some $8/year's or try to use it as a 24/7 encoding box or something.
The other issue is people expect to use ffmpeg-php which doesn't even support PHP 7. There's some classes like php-ffmpeg (note the swap in order) which seems to work on newer PHP's.
All depends on what OP is trying to accomplish. Is this straight up encoding all the time or is this thumbnails?

Thanks for the mention , unfortunately we don't support adult content.
haha is this real or ai?
ask @emgh
all AI's break when reaching that spot.
Hi,
We allow adult content in our Hosting.
FFMPEG in our Web Hosting? Is a NO, no. Due to Resources Abuse.
Is better to check VPS

We recommend you take a dedicated server for such things and VPS to host the main website.

Anything please open a ticket support.

I want to know whether it's a shirt ripped open or it's a towel.
f++k
Does you pay money for adult content videos who will upload there own contents in your website? Or its a freebies site?
Towel. We had just got back from the pool. The bottom is faked, the real photo has me in pool trunks.

party pooper.
Bamboozled and disappointed
Ffmpeg is a resources consuming program not a simple basic command, you won't find it with web hosting services even those who offer limited SSH access
Faked is a strong word. It’s me imagining
Edit: seriously though, if you want it gone just ask
Have fun.
Francisco
I would offer Optimal Web Hosting plans as a solution with Plesk, but do accept Adult Content like that.
As many have suggested, you will either need dedicated server or at least VPS/VDS with a host that doesn't overcommit or has too much overcommit to the hypervisors, allows adult content, and is ok with your service ramping IO and all your allocated resources to the rim most of the time. Best go with a Dedi server for the encoding.
Good luck
I don’t think you’ll find what you need with shared web hosting; you should consider a dedicated solution.
