And they will delete your account without warning. Reading their TOS it's a very very fine line as to what counts as commercial or not, and if you've spent much time on either one of those sites then you've probably seen countless videos that most would consider commercial in nature.... Video is still one of those business things that is a little difficult. Hosting the video yourself is often the best way, however if you're video becomes popular then you're going to either bring your web hosting down or go over your bandwidth limit and cop a big fat invoice from your hosting provider. I've been playing around with Amazon's S3 service, it looks the goods for commercial video hosting, and it's pretty well priced too.
