Like YouTube, only totally not.

Can anyone recommend a video-hosting platform for small business?

I have a client who wants to make available a 10-minute video to select individuals who have been duly NDA'd and so forth. In addition to hosting it in the client's own Web space, I am wondering whether there are services dedicated to hosting and service streaming video for small-to-medium enterprise. I know about Google Video for Business. Is there anything else along these lines you've had a good experience with?

I'm the webmaster for a small publishing company. We have a custom video player that we had a flash developer make for us, and we host the video files themselves on Amazon's S3. It's very affordable and seems to be working out well.

Vimeo's not strictly for businesses, but it does come across as a lot more professional than YouTube.

It's a bit expensive to run and the documentation sucks, but work for a small business that uses Panda for video hosting via Amazon Web Services and are pretty happy with it.

Thanks, everyone. I knew MeFi would hope me.

Viddler also has a no-ads option for businesses.
