Not that I'd recommend wix, but what kind of website do you need more than 2.5GB of space for?!

Don't host your own videos. You don't have the space, your hosting company most likely doesn't have the bandwidht, if you exceed a certain bandwidth a month you will most likely have to have per mb up/downloaded.

Use Youtube. Host your videos on YouTub and put a link or embed the video into your website. Much better way to go.

i checked out a few and one of the premium packages gives unlimited bandwidth

As said, don't host your own videos. YouTube, Vimeo and the like are flexible enough for your needs.

Also, try Wordpress. It's simple and powerful, and no longer just for Blogging, as it's adaptable, easy to use, and the possibilites are limitless with all the free plugins that are only a few clicks away.

I use a certain Irish webhost which I would post a recommendation of, if I was allowed, that has Wordpress and many others available built-in, that can be installed automatically in minutes, should you be interested in that. Sure, if you're advanced, you can do it yourself, but you may not be, so it may cater to your needs well. Packages start at €4 per month, or there abouts, and have great services and the like. If mod's say I can recommend, I will. Or, if a mod wants to edit the post for me, including a link, I welcome it.

Mods: It's a certain host in Carlow. They've also got a verified representative that post on the forums.

We have about 10 GBs of video, but again it's not something we'd host directly on our hosting account. We use a service called BitsOnTheRun, it's a kind of CDN for video delivery - you should also look at Amazon S3 (cheaper). HTH.
