URL is the webpage URL of the file host.

Maximum Filesize/Time Limit is the maximum size and length of the file allowed to be uploaded.

Removal After is the length of time the hosting service will keep your video on their site. Some sites have no time limit, some delete your file after a certain amount of time, and some only delete it if it hasn't been viewed in a certain amount of time.

Requires Registration indicates whether you need to register for a free account on their site before you are allowed to upload videos.

Streaming indicates whether videos are provided in a streaming format (e.g. web player) or not. If this is Yes, the video is automatically re-encoded by the site - these sites are not suitable for quality tests or run submissions. If No, the video is only available through a direct download. If listed as Optional, both options are available.
