Im working on a streaming service (like Netflix), but how do I create a server/database,
by server I mean a place to store the video files, and once created how do I link it to bubble.io.

Hi there. Did you watch any tutorial videos on creating a new site?

3

i know how to make the site but i would like to know how (if possible) to source the video from my server

I have to do a similar app to Netflix for a client.
We are going to use API.video for hosting the videos there

5

do you know of anything on the cheaper side?

As simple as api.video nope.

But you could host your videos then in AWS, firebase or another cloud hosting service.

I believe they would be cheaper.

The problem with hosting videos is the file size of them. I personally like supabase and rails app for hosting SQL databases, but the file upload size is quite limiting

After looking for a while I decided API.video was the best one.

For a cheaper option maybe you can use something like Vimeo private. And create a database item with a link to it. And users can click to watch it there or embed it onto your page?
