Before buying hosting, verify how original files leave the service and which links must be replaced.

The practical answer

Before buying hosting, verify how original files leave the service and which links must be replaced. A migration is a file project and a publishing project.

A production company has fifty website embeds and private client links. Copying the library does not update those pages or preserve every review record.

Put it into practice

A three-step working sequence

  1. 01

    Inventory originals and external links

    Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.

  2. 02

    Test original download with a small project

    Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.

  3. 03

    Map old links to new destinations before canceling

    Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.

Worked handoff

A concrete example

Take one film with an embed and a client review record. Save the original, record the useful feedback separately, replace a test embed and compare the new page. This exposes migration steps that a download button does not cover.

Keep the record

Your project worksheet

Old URL, owner, destination page, original saved, replacement URL, verification date.

Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Product fit

Where uncompressed.io fits

Use uncompressed.io when you want hosted playback of a compatible uploaded export without another platform re-encode, alongside client review. Check current storage pools and allowances on the pricing page. If you require learning assessments or unattended exhibition scheduling, evaluate those systems separately.

Compare hosting plans

Make the next step concrete

Test it with one real project.

Check the client handoff, then choose the plan that matches the work you need to deliver.
