What does “streaming” in a CDN mean?

Streaming in Serverspace is about live video transport and delivery. You send your stream into the network once (ingest), then it’s delivered to viewers via delivery protocols like HLS/LL-HLS. If you need it, you can also push the same stream out to other platforms in parallel.

The key idea: we’re not a video platform - we’re the delivery layer. No forced players, no watermarks, and no “platform rules” dictating how your broadcast should look or where it can go.

How does a CDN deliver a live stream?

Send one stream in → deliver it via CDN, and restream
it elsewhere if needed.

1

Send your stream

Connect via RTMP/SRT using OBS, FFmpeg, or any professional encoder.

2

Choose the mode

Select between direct delivery or multi-restream to multiple platforms.

3

Get your URLs

Ready-to-use HLS/LL-HLS links for ultra-low-latency integration.

4

Integrate easily

Use your own player and access logic. The CDN delivers globally.

5

Optional multi-output

Restream to multiple platforms or build automatic redundancy.

6

Monitor in real time

Track live metrics, stream quality, and connected viewers.

Supported protocols and codecs

Ingest your stream via RTMP/SRT and deliver to viewers over HLS/LL-HLS, with support for H.264 and AAC/Opus.

Who is it for?

Who needs cloud video streaming?

Media / broadcasters / news

Why: ingest live video “from the field” and deliver it to your website/app + partners.

  • A reporter/operator sends the stream from OBS or a mobile encoder → RTMP/SRT ingest.
  • The stream is received in Serverspace as a single entry point.
  • Viewer delivery on your website/in your app → HLS/LL-HLS.
  • In parallel, enable restreaming to partner channels and/or a backup path.
  • Peak load is handled by the CDN — no “event-only hardware” needed.

Sports and events

Why: send one stream in, deliver it to multiple viewing endpoints, and keep a fallback route if a platform drops.

  • Your on-site camera/encoder pushes the feed → RTMP/SRT.
  • Serverspace receives it as a single ingest and gets it ready for viewer playback.
  • Primary viewing on your website/landing page → HLS/LL-HLS.
  • Optionally, turn on multi-output to external platforms to expand reach.
  • If a platform “goes down/gets blocked/bans you” — your stream is still live on your own domain.

Corporate live streams and education

Why: run your own delivery path and access rules without being tied to webinar platforms.

  • A speaker or studio pushes the stream → RTMP/SRT.
  • Serverspace distributes it to your audience → HLS/LL-HLS.
  • You control access on your side (SSO, registration, permissions) via your portal or LMS.
  • If needed — separate links or streams for specific regions and branches.
  • The CDN takes the load off your corporate network during peak viewing.

IoT / drones / industrial video

Why: stable video transport over unreliable networks and fast delivery to the operator.

  • A camera/drone/robot sends the stream via SRT (resilient to packet loss/jitter).
  • Serverspace ingests the stream and provides the delivery transport layer.
  • The operator/situation room watches through your interface → LL-HLS/HLS.
  • Parallel distribution to multiple stations/locations via the CDN.
  • Storage, analytics, and access permissions — handled in your VMS/SCADA/portal.

E-commerce and brands

Why: absorb traffic spikes and keep control instead of relying on platform rules or takedown decisions.

  • A studio or host sends the stream → RTMP/SRT.
  • Your primary broadcast lives on your landing page or app → HLS/LL-HLS.
  • You own the experience end to end: catalog, cart, forms, and on-page flows.
  • At the same time, you can turn on restreaming to social networks to grow reach.
  • If a platform limits or removes the stream — your main channel on your domain stays live.

Live streaming pricing

Your streaming bill scales with your viewership, not against it. Traffic-based pricing means the more you deliver, the cheaper each GB gets.

Volume Quantity Cost
Up to 500 GB 1 GB $0,015
From 500 GB to 5 TB 1 GB $0,013
From 5 to 10 TB 1 GB $0,011
More than 10 TB 1 GB $0,009

FAQ

What is the best hosting for video streaming in 2025?

The best hosting for video streaming combines CDN delivery with low-latency infrastructure, so your audience gets smooth playback regardless of location. Unlike traditional web hosting, a streaming-optimized setup routes video through edge nodes closest to each viewer — cutting buffering and reducing origin server load. Serverspace gives you full control over your streaming pipeline with no platform lock-in, predictable billing, and the flexibility to integrate any player or encoder you already use.

What makes CDN hosting different from regular web hosting for live streaming?

Regular web hosting serves files from a single location — fine for text and images, but a bottleneck the moment hundreds of viewers request a live video feed simultaneously. CDN-based video streaming hosting distributes that load across a global network of edge servers, so each viewer pulls the stream from a node physically close to them. The result is lower latency, fewer dropped frames, and a broadcast that holds up under real traffic spikes without requiring you to over-provision your origin.

Which video streaming hosting service works for both live and on-demand content?

The best video streaming hosting services handle both live broadcasts and VOD from the same infrastructure, so you're not managing two separate pipelines or paying two separate bills. Look for a platform that supports HLS and DASH output, allows custom CDN configuration, and doesn't force your content through a proprietary player. With Serverspace, you deploy the streaming stack you need — Nginx with RTMP, FFmpeg, or any other toolchain — on hardware that scales with your audience.

How do I choose the best web hosting for a live video streaming website?

Start with three questions: where are most of your viewers located, what peak concurrent viewership do you expect, and do you need the stream embedded on your own site or distributed across third-party platforms. The best web hosting for live video streaming gives you a UAE, U.S., or European server location depending on your audience, per-minute billing so you're not paying for idle capacity between broadcasts, and full root access to configure your streaming software exactly as your workflow requires.
