streaming · every product · one page

Streaming at Server Room. Start with the question.

A radio station, a live channel, a library people press play on, one big date, delivery to viewers far from your origin, a channel that needs several renditions, or a whole machine on an unmetered port: each is its own product here, with its own page. This one is the map. It says what each product is for and hands you to the page that owns the details and, where there are any, the plans. Nothing is priced here.

we run it

Platforms we run. You broadcast; the server is ours.

Five products on machines we own, on our own network. You get a login and an address to send to, not a root password, and the page for each one holds its plans.

Internet radio

Where does my radio station live?

On an Icecast server we own in New York, with the Centova Cast panel in front of it, for Icecast and SHOUTcast encoders alike. The radio page holds the three plans and what each one allows, Auto DJ on the paid two, and it is the only radio page that talks money. Two pages beside it describe the servers themselves: what Icecast is and how a station on ours is put together, and the same for SHOUTcast, which a station is switched to on request.

Live video

Who receives my live stream, and where does it sit?

Wowza origins we own in New York and Bucharest, announced by our own network. You push RTMP from OBS, vMix or a hardware encoder, viewers play HLS, and the page names every part of that path: the machine, the city, the network, and the published limit of each plan. It also says at exactly which point a channel has outgrown a share of a server and should move to a whole one.

Video on demand

Where do my video files go, and how do people play them?

A hosting platform for the files rather than the feed: upload them, organize them, and hand out a player that works on every device, with transcoding and viewing analytics built in. Live is not this; this is the library. The plans are on that page.

Event streaming

One date, a large audience, and no second take?

Live event streaming for webinars, conferences and town halls: RTMP or SRT in, delivery across more than one region, and an uptime SLA behind it. Built for the day the audience is ten times the usual and the stream cannot stop.

Video CDN

I already have an origin; who carries it to the viewers?

A managed video CDN: edge servers on both sides of the Atlantic sit between your origin and the audience, so a stream from one machine reaches viewers far from it, and the delivery is ours to run rather than yours. Traffic and viewer allowances are by plan, on that page.

you run it

Machines you rent, and the software that goes on them.

When a platform's limit is the problem, the answer is a machine of your own: root, the whole port, and whichever engine you choose. None of these four pages is priced here. The port is priced on the 10 Gbps page and its neighbors, the machine on the price list, and the software on its own page.

Dedicated streaming serverthe whole machine

What does a whole server for streaming get me?

A whole physical machine, an unshared and unmetered port, and your choice of software on it: Wowza, Flussonic, Nimble, Cue, or whatever you install yourself as root. Nobody shares the port and nobody counts the traffic, so it can run at full speed all month. That is the one page here that answers “dedicated streaming server”, and it carries no price: the port and the machine are each priced on their own pages.

Transcoding server

One channel in, several renditions out, without buying processors for it?

A dedicated machine whose GPU does the encoding: the channel arrives, the card decodes it once and encodes every profile in hardware, and the processor stays out of it. Flussonic, Wowza and FFmpeg all drive it. The whole machine is yours at one flat monthly figure, which that page states.

Cue streaming engine

Can I change the engine without changing everything that points at it?

Cue is the live streaming engine we write ourselves and install on your dedicated server. It answers the way Wowza does, the same RTMP sign-in, the same playlist paths, the same REST API that MediaCP drives, and the way Flussonic does for channels imported from it, so encoders, player URLs and the panel stay where they are. The page says why run it instead of Wowza or Flussonic, what it costs, and how it is ordered.

Cue reseller panel

Can I sell streaming to my own customers from my own server?

A white-label streaming control panel installed on your machine: you sign up resellers and their customers, hand them live channels, TV stations, on-demand libraries and radio stations, and the server enforces every limit you sold. It answers MediaCP’s API, so the billing modules written for MediaCP keep working.

Not sure which one?

Tell us two things: what goes in (a microphone, an encoder, a folder of files, a channel you already run somewhere else) and who watches (how many, where, and whether it ever stops). That is enough to name the product. The chat answers at any hour, and the guides cover every encoder we have met.
