Streaming VPS for
Live Video & Restreaming
High-bandwidth KVM servers built for live streaming, 24/7 restreaming, and video delivery. 10 Gbps ports with unmetered traffic, NVMe storage, and instant deployment across 12 EU and US locations.
Performance at a Glance
Built for Video Streaming
Run your own ingest, packaging, and delivery stack on dedicated KVM resources with full root access — no managed-platform lock-in.
KVM Virtualization
Full hardware virtualization with guaranteed dedicated resources, so a neighbour's traffic spike never stutters your stream.
NVMe Storage
NVMe SSD arrays sustain the read throughput HLS segments and VOD libraries need when hundreds of viewers pull chunks at once.
Instant Deployment
Your streaming server is ready in under 60 seconds with automated setup and immediate root access.
Run Your Streaming Stack
Full root on Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux — install any self-hosted streaming server.
Nginx-RTMP, MediaMTX & SRS
Take an RTMP or SRT feed from OBS or a hardware encoder and repackage it to HLS for browser playback. A small plan comfortably handles ingest and packaging for a single stream.
FFmpeg Restreaming
Push one upload to YouTube, Twitch, and Kick simultaneously using Nginx-RTMP push directives or FFmpeg — your encoder sends a single stream and the server fans it out.
Owncast & Restreamer
Host your own channel page with Owncast or datarhei Restreamer: built-in chat, embeds, and full ownership of your audience without platform rules.

How Many Viewers Can Each Plan Handle?
Required throughput is simply stream bitrate × concurrent viewers when serving directly. The estimates below use each plan's minimum sustained throughput on our 10 Gbps shared ports. If you restream through YouTube or Twitch, the platform delivers to viewers — even the smallest plan then has ample headroom.
| Plan | Est. Min Throughput | 720p @ 3.5 Mbps | 1080p @ 6 Mbps | 4K @ 16 Mbps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1-2 Gbps | ~285 viewers | ~165 viewers | ~60 viewers |
| Basic | 2-3 Gbps | ~570 viewers | ~330 viewers | ~125 viewers |
| Standard | 3-4 Gbps | ~855 viewers | ~500 viewers | ~185 viewers |
| Pro | 4-5 Gbps | ~1,140 viewers | ~665 viewers | ~250 viewers |
| Business | 5-6 Gbps | ~1,425 viewers | ~830 viewers | ~310 viewers |
| Enterprise | 5-6 Gbps | ~1,425 viewers | ~830 viewers | ~310 viewers |
*Estimates based on each plan's minimum sustained throughput; real capacity varies with routing and viewer distribution. For audiences in the thousands, put a CDN in front and use the VPS as your origin.

Network & Connectivity
CPU Transcoding, Honestly Sized
These servers are CPU-only — no GPUs — and for most streaming setups that is exactly right. Relaying a stream or repackaging RTMP to HLS is network-bound and uses almost no CPU: a 2-core plan runs a 24/7 relay comfortably.
Live transcoding with x264 is the CPU-heavy case. Budget roughly 2–3 vCPU cores for a 720p30 rung and 4–6 cores for 1080p30 at the veryfast preset. The Standard plan (4 cores) handles a single 1080p30 transcode; Pro and Business add headroom for a multi-rung ladder. If you need several full ABR ladders transcoded at once, a dedicated server is the better fit.
Compare dedicated servers →24/7 Streams Are Allowed
Unattended round-the-clock streams, restreaming relays, and sustained egress are normal use on Streaming VPS plans — that is what they are built for. Traffic is unmetered with no overage billing and no hidden fair-use throttle tied to monthly volume. The only requirement: stream content you hold the rights to broadcast.
What People Run on Streaming VPS
From unattended 24/7 channels to live event ingest and VOD delivery
24/7 Restreaming
Keep a channel live around the clock without your own PC running: loop playlists with FFmpeg, relay a live ingest to multiple platforms, or schedule unattended broadcasts.
- FFmpeg looped playlists
- Multi-platform RTMP push
- systemd auto-restart
Live Event Ingest
Take an RTMP or SRT feed from OBS or a hardware encoder, repackage to HLS or DASH, and serve viewers from a location near your audience.
- OBS & hardware encoder ingest
- RTMP, SRT & WebRTC stacks
- 12 EU/US locations
VOD & Media Delivery
Serve video-on-demand libraries, podcast audio, and HLS archives from NVMe storage with unmetered egress — or use the VPS as origin behind a CDN.
- NVMe-backed media storage
- Unmetered delivery
- CDN origin ready
