Need Solutions, Switching Website Platforms

    We are launching a new website in the next two weeks. The website has a variety of products including 90 GB of video classes. The largest single videos are 5, 6 and 7.1 GB. We are launching the website on WordPress, hosting on A2. We need to make sure we can store said videos on some platforms where by multiple users can access them simultaneously without any buffering challenges. Do you know or do you recommend any combination of platforms we should consider that can store videos as large as ours and offers the predictable bandwidth to prevent buffering? We are also concerned about security once someone purchases any of the products so that multiple users aren’t given access off one purchase. We have been looking at Vimeo for hosting the videos, and have purchased a membership on LearnDash to monetize and manage or learning videos. Can you please respond with ideas as soon as possible because our website developer needs the platform/plug ins in the next few days.
    In regard to the e-commerce component we are wondering if or how it would work to transfer our Chase account we have been using for this purpose on our Wix platform to WordPress but we also need to have it set up seamlessly where someone can pay for a product and immediately access it, how is that accomplished?

    I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

    Hi there! You’ve landed on the forums for sites hosted here on WordPress.com, were you intending to get to the community forums for the WordPress software over at WordPress.org?

    This is the link to those forums, for reference:

    That said, it might be worth looking into the VideoPress service from Jetpack, which is another product in our family:
    https://jetpack.com/videopress/

    It may not be the best fit as the file sizes are generally limited to 5GB and you mentioned going up to 7GB per file, but it’s one option. We’re not too familiar with the other services around however, but the WordPress.org forums are likely to have additional suggestions!
