Bunny Stream is the video product from bunny.net, a CDN company. It is infrastructure: you pay for storage, delivery and optional premium encoding, you build the front end, and you get a player, an API and a pricing model that scales with usage. Developers and SaaS companies like it because the bill follows the traffic instead of a fixed tier.
FileHost.net is a finished service. You upload, you get a page and an embed, and you are paid for views. The audiences barely overlap, but they sometimes meet in the same search: a creator who wants to host video and has seen both names. This page compares them using the Bunny documentation and FileHost.net own pages as of November 2026.

Bunny Stream gives you building blocks. You create a video library, upload through the dashboard or API, and use the supplied player or your own. The service handles encoding and delivery. Everything else, such as accounts, billing, a catalogue page and the way viewers find videos, is yours to build.
That is a strength for a company with developers. It means the player, access rules and analytics can follow your product design. For a creator with no developer, it can be a barrier, since every feature beyond playback is work.
FileHost.net sits at the other end of the spectrum. The dashboard, file pages, embeds, view counts, referral programme and payout system already exist, and the API is available when you want to automate.
According to the Bunny documentation, storage in the default region costs $0.01 per GB per month, with each additional replication region adding more. Delivery on the standard network is $0.010 per GB in Europe and North America, rising to $0.030 in Asia and Oceania, $0.045 in South America and $0.060 in the Middle East and Africa. The Volume network is cheaper, at $0.005 per GB up to 500 TB a month. Standard encoding is free, and there is a $1 minimum monthly usage charge.
A simple example makes the model concrete. A 1 GB video watched in full by 1,000 people in Europe moves about 1,000 GB, which at $0.010 per GB is about $10 of delivery. The cost is predictable, and it is also a cost: every view has a price, and the revenue to cover it has to come from somewhere else.
On FileHost.net the relationship is reversed. Views earn between $1.50 and $33 per 10,000 views depending on viewer country, with a $10 minimum payout, and premium accounts cost $7.99 a month, $37.99 for six months or $77.99 for a year.
If your videos are paid content, protection matters. Bunny offers token authentication, referrer controls and an optional DRM add-on, listed at $99 a month per video library plus a small charge per license. Those tools help you keep paid videos from being shared freely.
FileHost.net is built for open distribution. It offers protected embeds and a searchable toggle, but it is not a DRM service. For subscription courses or premium films that must resist copying, a developer platform is the right tool; for public videos that you want people to watch and share, a host fits better.
Some teams use both: Bunny Stream behind the paid product, FileHost.net for public trailers that earn.
Ask who the customer is. If the viewer is your customer and you charge them, you need infrastructure that lets you control access and design the experience, and Bunny Stream is a strong, fairly priced option. If the viewer is simply an audience for a public video and you want to be paid by an advertiser through the platform, a ready-made host is the shorter path.
Ask who will maintain it. Infrastructure needs someone to wire up the player, handle failed uploads, build analytics screens and watch the bill. A host needs a person who can click Upload and paste an embed code.
Finally, ask how spiky your traffic will be. Usage pricing is kind to quiet projects and unforgiving to sudden fame, while a revenue-sharing host turns the same spike into income. Your answers will point to one of the two quickly.
Create a free account, upload a video, get a shareable link and an embed player in minutes. No card needed.
