I am administering a drupal based website for a small company. We want to start offering our customers video content, streaming preferably.
What we would like to do is have a log-in on the website where after authentication the user could access the videos.
Since I am quite new to do this I don't know
A., what streaming provider to use, lot of people mentioning amazon s3
b., is it possible if using amazon s3 to have my conent be "secured" so only people with neccessary login details access it.
(There is no need for purchasing infrastructure. We hand out the login/password to the customer personally, we just want that if someone copy/pastes the link he or she would not be able to watch it)
I just need some general guidline, googling streaming hosting gives up way to much results and I couldn't find the best solution for this type of question... :(
Thank you for your help!

Check out http://wistia.com/ its one of the best service.
As for showing the video you embed them in a content type and set permission for that type for authenticated users.
This is a basic example. If you needs is more complicate then you can try making a module or use commerce module .
Cheers,
Vishal

I always host wordpress with Godaddy and bluehost but now my client asked if it will be possible to host it in Google cloud platform if it is better.
My question are:
1- What are the benefit I will get comparing to other hosting?
2- what is the annual price? I checked it in Google but it is not clearly mentioned. It only says you pay based on usage.
https://cloud.google.com/php/tutorials/wordpress-app-engine-flexible
3- Does they provide an easy access to cpanel ( file manager – database and phpmyadmin).
4- Do I need to have developer skills to use it? Or they will provide 24 hours support?
Thanks in advance
That's totally different. Google cloud platform using Cloud server and it can't compare with traditional shared hosting and of course the fee will be more expensive.
Yes, you can check directly via that link. I never use Google, but I use Azure. My experience Azure is very costly, but the deployment is very easy. The cost that I need to pay at that time is 6 times higher than my shared hosting. So, I moved back to shared hosting again.
You can login directly to the server
You need to know about managing server

Am building a membership video library where user has to register and pay the monthly fee then he will be able to view the videos.
Is there any way to prevent downloading the video ?
I read a lot about VIMEO and their business service (199$/Year) prevent users from downloading the video, Vimeo refused to provide me to testing account, is it good solution to use VIMEO ?
am using asp.net technology.
While it's possible to use DRM etc to protect your videos, it ends up being a bigger hassle for you and your paying customers. No matter how hard you try, there will always be a way for people to download the videos. The harder you try to prevent that, the more difficulties you will make for legitimate customers.
Need more real world examples? See DRM in the music and computer game industries.
The best policy is to offer your content at a low enough price and make it very convenient for the user, that way piracy is impractical. You can't eliminate privacy, but you make it a bigger hassle than being a legitimate customer.

I wanted to crate an mobile app (using Flex) that let user upload some user generated content (eg. Text, Picture) to my website and also able to display/view it on the website as well.
I don’t much on the back end (web programming, website database, cloud).
What is the best way to do this or is there any ready build solution out there?
Thanks.
Look at httpService for your user upload and tie it to a back end web service using POST or GET parameters. Personally, I recommend PHP but any web capable service would work. Then, tie that service to store your images on your web server or in a database. Reverse the process to get it back out. Can this all be done in Flex? No. Can you tie it in with a web service easily? Yes. Good luck.

I'm trying to find the way to do paid memberships in a Drupal site, for example, access some content when I pay some membership. I have read a lot but most of the example are for Drupal 6 or using moneyscripts.net. Also I have read some tutorials about ubercart, uc_recurring, etc but none of them work well.
Is there some way to add paid memberships in Drupal 7? Maybe someone can give me some direction, thread, tutorial, etc.
Thanks!
I asked in the Drupal forums and they helped me with the solution, here is the thread: http://drupal.org/node/1607152 and here you can find the solution: http://drupal.org/node/1312418
I am also looking for a solution to this. Commerce subscription products looks like the best option but I am still researching options and haven't tested this solution yet due to some limitations:
This modules does not implement a recurrent payment solution and automated subscription renewals. Though this could be integrated via add-on modules.
The module provides only one kind of subscriptions on a site. If multiple subscription types are needed, the module and its configuration could be theoretically cloned (and renamed) though.

I am trying to find out if I can get notified when a site is down, or when a service running under WAS is no longer running.
I don't want to code a monitoring tool, I am sure there must be something out there...
I'm using this
http://tools.pingdom.com/
Beside the cool online tools you have a subscription for monitoring your site.
I found a couple more, haven't used them. These seem totally free while pingdom tools is only free for one site.

I also had this need, so I created an open source app called Pinger. You can do unlimited URLs with intervals of your choosing. The docs has instructions for getting running on Heroku quickly:
https://github.com/austinthecoder/pinger
I personally use Content Site Monitor. It has a really simple and cool web interface that allows you to view your site’s up-time statistics on a desktop or mobile screen. It’s easy to configure your monitoring parameters as well.
It doesn't just ping your server to make sure that it's alive. It allows you to specify certain content/keywords that you want to monitor. It will send you alert email if the content/keywords are missing from your site or if your site goes down.
Best of all, it’s free to monitor up to 3 sites!
