There is a Christian Apologist named David Wood. Whatever one things of him, love him or hate him, he had over half a million subscribers. However he beleived that his days on YouTube were numbered as most of his videos were controversial. So about 18 months ago he gave away his YouTube channel to a fellow apologist Hatun Tush.
Then he had his own website created and now publishes all his videos from his website. It is now much more difficult to shut David Wood down. He may even actually beleive what he says as his absence from YouTube has not stopped him making videos.
If one uses YouTube then one is at the mercy of whoever calls the shots at YouTube. It is a private company after all, they will do what they like. Eli the computer guy, also on youtube, realises the dangers of posting on youtube.
The only solution is to post stuff via ones own website.
Apparently the Government can still shut one down under RIPA legislation but it is a lot harder for them. Whereas youtube can just flip a switch....no legal process needed!!

Do you have your own web servers, on your own premises?

No - possibly wish I did, but I am hosted abroad, so not so easy for the
UK to shut me down.

As it's a co.uk address nominet control the domain, so if you were to do
anything nafarious on the website they could just pull the plug on the
domain.

I can't see any reason why that might happen

That is true, but I have found nominet much more reasonable to work with
than the people who control .com addresses.

The big question is, how many users can log in at any one time? My
understanding - which may be incorrect - is that a home system can only
host one visitor at a time.

Entirely dependent upon how you/it sets it up.

Michael appears to be running Debian/apache so I guess it deals with
rather more than 1 unless he's configured it that way.

Michael - all of your Church related links appear to be broken.

Thank you. Maybe I'll look into it a bit more. It would probably work
out much the same cost-wise to host my sites myself.

Not true as far as i know.......but i am only using a raspberry pi for the web server, so if i started getting thousands of hits a minute the raspberry pi would be overwhelmed.

Fortunately I don't expect thousands of hits per minute.
