Where to host commercial videos?

I am looking for some place to host commercials and promo videos and the like. most free hosting sites like vimeo, blip.tv etc frown on videos that "sell a product or service" .. and while they won't necessarily take it off the site immediately, I'd like to host somewhere where it won't be an issue. I am not trying to make money with this, just have a place that I can host something that I can show to clients easily. I have been hosting on my own server but managing the content is getting annoying.
Brightcove seems good but is a pay service (although i couldnt figure it - in the couple mins i looked at it - exactly how much they charge). Any others out there?
Thanks!
 
I have my own dedicated server, I just upload videos there when I want to show clients work privately, but in the future with my Website now mostly complete, it will run everything. It's database-driven, with a complete back-end, so I can create project pages for anything I want, they are added automatically to the section page if I so choose, but if not I can make them private, password protect them, then upload any content I feel like uploading, the Flash file, a Quicktime file, text for the project, etc., then send them the link and the password and they can review it, then later I can make that project page live when I want it on my site. It's a good system.
 
It is a hassle creating the system, but when you have it then all hassles are gone. That was the point for me. I figure I'll be in business for a long time, so I wanted a site that would last a long time, and be able to be changed regularly, easily, etc.
 
Photobucket has a video hosting service now, but I have never used it so I can not tell you anything from personal experience. Might be worth checking out.
