Dailymotion is a video sharing website.
The site is based in Paris, France, its domain registered with gandi.net, a French internet domain name provider, and at least one name server is based in France with the .fr name extension.
As of November 2006, the site was getting about 9,000 new videos posted daily, and page views in excess of 16 million per day[2].
Dailymotion allows users to browse videos by searching tags, channels or user-created groups; the search system also introduces results based on things other users have searched for. The maximum size of video per file is 150MB (compared to 100MB for YouTube) and videos should be no longer 20 minutes (compared to 10 minutes for YouTube), with the exception of using MotionMaker, which is similar to YouTube's director accounts, but, there is unlimited file size and unlimited time limit.
