    I currently use 4shared to host fanvids I make for fun, then embed them in my site (my domain's host doesn't allow video or music uploads)

    Lately, when I upload, I can't view/embed my vids, only download. I've let it sit for a few days and it still says "Preview for this video is not yet available."

    Can anyone give me links of similar site that I may have success with.

    Also, I want to mention I have 100-150 videos.

    Why do you not want to use Youtube?

    Vimeo's an alternative.

    Sounds like you may have hit your limit... Most "sharing" sites limit by number of videos or bandwidth allocations... Then they start restricting you...

    Vimeo is good ( so I hear )...

    If I ever needed to something like that I would use Vimeo.
    YouTube has an unproffesional connotation, IMO.
    Others are just too unreliable.
