Required Details

Provide in a ticket:

  • Server IP
  • SSH root password, port
  • Recommended Server

    Most important specification for streaming video is connectivity. Make sure your server has a big connection (1000Mbps preferred) and is physically installed in a reputable datacenter well connected to your target client networks.

    If you also use server for web hosting, WHM/CPanel is recommended for easy web management. Clarification: Managing and troubleshooting web hosting services is not included with Streaming Server Management service. Using a configuration similar to the live demo servers (with WHM/CPanel) is highly recommended to achieve similar results.

    Recommended OS:

    • Linux: Centos 7+ Recommended ; via SSH root access

    Turnkey Hosting vs Own Server

    When using own infrastructure higher costs are involved for licensing server software (Wowza SE $2100/year, stream session control $200 + $50/month, web whm/cpanel $45/month or alternative), SSL, server setup and administration. Also lots of time to configure, troubleshoot and administrate servers.

    We recommend our Complete Turnkey Hosting Plans from $50/month (for all features) during development and early project stages.

    VPS/Cloud vs Dedicated Server

    A VPS can be used for live video streaming project development and testing but are not recommended at production times.
    Dedicated servers are recommended.

    Multiple VPS (Virtual Private Servers) share same server with same hardware (disk, cpu, memory, connection).
    While resulting performance issues are not visible when serving http pages, frame loss/latency/temporary freezing can occur in live streams on a VPS, depending on how the other VPS on same server use the shared physical resources and temporary lock these.

    Cloud elastic servers are similar to VPS but can be adjusted to use more of the servers resources for that instance. An instant can not use more than available on the server where hosted and also has to share hardware with other instances.
