Courses Plus Student 1,126 PointsHey Richard thanks for the response due to the nature of starting my own video company I do plan to utilize YouTube and social media but not in that way for my business website. A dedicated server is in my future with BlueHost and I actually would like my logo imprinted in my site videos just as YouTube's appears at the bottom someday. In that case would you have another suggestion?
