Where to host tree online so I can share it

I want to be able to share my family tree online and share it to specific users only.
Can you tell me which services offer this.
Ideally I want to show the tree - have users click on individuals - then they can see pictures and videos of these individuals.
Thanks

Check out Tribalpages.com.
They have various security options for your on-line tree, so you can bar/allow whomsoever you wish.
I have a tree on there, (See below) and my settings mean I allow everyone to see 'non-living' individuals, but I restrict access to 'living' with a password.
I do not make use of the photo option at present, but how many you can have is determined by your type of subscription/annual fee, which I consider quite moderate. You'll need to check the site to see whether videos are allowed.
You can upload your tree via gedcom.

There are the usual places of Ancestry, FindMyPast, FamilySearch, MyHeritage etc as well as Tribal Pages which I personally do not like. You could consider WikiTree or Twile. Personally I prefer self hosted and there your choices are TNG, Genealone, WebTrees or even using the create website option within Family Historian.
My personal choice at the moment is a combination of Wordpress and Genealone but have been playing with WebTrees lately and this may suit my Surname study better than my current hand coded site.

Welcome to the
FHUG.
In addition to those mentioned there is
http://www.zoompast.org/ that offers a novel presentation.
Consider using the
Export Gedcom File Plugin that has specific export modes for many of the products mentioned.
Beware that many such products do NOT automatically upload your
Media image files, which must be done manually after uploading the
Gedcom file. Not sure which products support
Media video files.
You did not say whether you wanted a free service or were prepared to subscribe. You will have to checkout each product.
Another option is to create a
DVD by using the FH
Publish > Make a Family Tree CD/DVD command supplemented with the
Improve Website or CD DVD HTML Plugin to support
Media videos, PDF, etc. Then post the DVD.

That is a popular product with many
FH users also using
TNG. I presume you know that you must provide your own web hosting space as it says on their front page "
TNG is a powerful way to manage and display your family tree on your own website".
The
Export Gedcom File Plugin has a preconfigured export mode for
(TNG) The Next Generation with full details of how to manage the transfer to
TNG in its
Help & Advice pages such as plugins:help:export_gedcom_file:export_gedcom_file|Export Gedcom File ~ Introduction and plugins:help:export_gedcom_file:tng_the_next_generation|Export Gedcom File ~ (TNG) The Next Generation.
In particular, all
Place records transfer intact, and all
Media can be transferred in various modes.
TNG users will be able to offer much advice about how to migrate your database successfully.
