Are you looking for the way to embed videos into your site that you don’t want anyone else to share? For example if your videos are only for certain people or users should pay for watching them. If so you might be interested of this article.

Vimeo has launched Pro account 1.8.2011 which makes sharing private videos much easier and cheaper. Price of Vimeo’s Pro account is 199$/year (150€/year = ~12€/month) and that’s all you need.

Here’s couple screenshots how you should configure secure way to embed private videos.

Vimeo Embedding Result. As you can see Video does not have any links to video's page or information how to embed video.

 

Embedding Source Code. Videos ID is visible but embedding other than huilaaja.net domain is impossible.

 

Vimeo Video is not visible for anyone. Even if you try to use video's ID to access video it's not possible.

 

I have done some Googling but I haven’t found any other service that would do the same with less than 100$/month. So I’m definitely recommending Vimeo for commercial use.
