Youtube – How to upload a high quality video to YouTube

How can I upload a high quality video to YouTube?

I have a 1080p video in format of MP4 and I want to upload it to YouTube with its original resolution, so I don't want YouTube to reduce its resolution to 360p. How can I do it?

Do I have to convert the MP4 to something else and then upload?

Edit:
When I upload the video, YouTube doesn't store its original size, and doesn't give an option to choose resolution; it really resizes the video and make it 360p. (So the user cannot choose other than 360p).
Is my video upload settings may be the reason for this?

When you upload a video to YouTube, it converts your video to allow to the user to choose the resolution. The original resolution will still be available. Example: If you upload a 1080p video, the user will have 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p to choose.
