Speed matters. Especially in streaming. The success of your streaming business depends on your capability to stream high-quality media with minimal latency. If you're looking for a video hosting service, our dedicated streaming servers provide the bandwidth, speed, and scalability you need to offer users the best viewing experience possible.
Consistently low latency times and zero packet loss are the results of overprovisioned 32+ Tbps network, real‑time network monitoring, routing adjustments, and the use of hundreds of networks interconnected through OctaServer’s global private backbone.
Bandwith pool allows you to have single traffic plan for servers within same continent. For example, your servers can share 20 Gbps regardless of their individual consumption.
In-stock servers are deployed the same day, usually within 6 hours, with free initial OS installation and server setup.
OctaServer has servers with both single and dual-CPU configuratioin in stock, suitable whether you need them for transcoding, streaming or storing your video content.

A video streaming solution is a dedicated server for streaming designed to serve audio or video content to remote mobile, desktop, or set-top devices. This server could be used for video streaming, audio streaming, and radio streaming. It is equipped with software that can transcode the files so that users can begin playing the media in real-time without having to download the entire file. Most media servers utilize some form of encoding and compression in order to reduce file size to increase performance.
Our dedicated servers support any video streaming software that can be run on a remote server such as Plex, Icecast, Shoutcast, HTS Server, Nginx RTMP, etc. There is a variety of open source streaming server software to choose from. As long as the software can run on Linux, Windows, or another operating system that our servers can run, then you will have access to install and manage the software with us.
The cost of the dedicated server will depend largely on the amount and type of media being streamed and the number of users who will access the content in a monthly period. A radio streaming server will typically have lower bandwidth costs than a video streaming server.
Our dedicated servers start at $70/month generally and can be customized for the bandwidth and hardware requirements of your project.
We offer a variety of Linux and Windows operating systems to choose from. We can also install a custom OS for you, or you can use our dedicated console in order to load your own operating system.
