I need to set up streaming videos behind a paywall for an education membership site.
The website is running on Wordpress and we have plugins for membership. But one limitation with Wordpress.
We will eventually have well over 100gb of video content. Which we will need to host/stream and then embed in the site. But what we don't want is someone being able to take the URL and embed it in their site, or worse still to copy it, post it to Facebook and then be able to watch the videos. As that would circumvent the need for a membership.
Using a free service such as Youtube or Vimeo seems out of the question, not only because it's too easy for someone to gain access, but also due to adverts which would just appear amateurish on a paid for membership site.
Hosting the videos ourselves on the page also would not be a great option as the page would become too bloated, slow and not to mention we would be forking out astronomical fees through Wordpress for the extra storage
So my questions are:
1) What are the best services for storing and streaming this content? (Having looked around Amazon offer a range of cloud and streaming services that seem good and cheap.)
2) How can we ensure that people cannot just take the URL and embed it elsewhere?
Thanks
