Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Why not host on both platforms?

I agree that internal hosting can be more custom not direct traffic away from your site once the clip is over.

Is their a way for the you tube videos to point towards your site?

Personally i feel that people (not us) don't understand you don't need the www. part of the website URL.  So do to social engineering I would leave that part in.

The only pros and cons that i could think of is if you don't specify the specific version.  You should also do 301 redirect in addition simply because not everyone uses google to search for website.

A family friend asked me to take a look at her website.

www.designsbymaida.com

First thing i noticed is what seemed a 301 redirect or a forward to

http://funktionaldesignstudios.com/dbm-old/

So her site is hosted with what it looks like, in his site(funktonaldesigns).  What does this means in terms of how google sees her site and in terms of SEO.

My thought is that he is boosting his domain name.  He is getting the link juice.

Thanks for the insight and help.

She is paying for "website" hosting.  Apparently Funktion Designs also does SEO.  How could a company view this as acceptable.
