Red5 Hosting

As an advanced solution for high traffic sites we can provide managed Red5 hosting (optionally managed Wowza Media Server) on one or multiple dedicated servers.

We recommended these for high volume sites using VideoWhisper standard or custom applications with advanced load balancing on multiple servers.

Each server includes 4 Dedicated IPs, WHM + cPanel and latest Red5 and Java available. Our staff setups your rtmp applications and restarts the red5 server as needed so you don't need to pay an administrator for the linux servers.

• Contact us to ask for plan order links are not available or you need custom hardware . In example 1000GB HDD can be exchanged with 200GB SSD if you prefer speed to space or bigger disks can be added if you need more space.
  
  
• * Unlimited C server bandwidth is for standard site usage (hosting a regular site that also includes bandwidth intensive functionality like streaming, vod or file sharing but does not focus on it).
  Servers have 1000 Mbps dedicated connection (maximum speed available for bursts) but average use should be around 500 Mbps. Canada servers are with a different data center that mainly targets regular site hosting. If datacenter determines that server connection is used mostly for streaming, video sharing or file sharing, connection may be limited until upgrading to a different bandwidth option. Site will need to be transferred to a server with dedicated 1000Mbps connection (like S1), that's more cost efficient in this situation .
• * 100Tb bandwidth on dedicated 1000Mbps port for S servers, can be used each month (input and output) as needed, without restrictions. Usually 100Tb is not reached due to other hardware limitations or usage distribution in external networks. 100Tb/month is equivalent for using server's connection at around 30% capacity (within good performance parameters).
  100Tb/month means ~ 3 333Gb/day or ~ 139Gb/hour or ~ 38.5 Mb/second which is ~308 Mbps.
  
• If you calculate cost per Gb for this streaming server, it starts from ~0.01$/Gb which is at least 10 times less compared to most rtmp streaming providers (including Cloud) where 1 Gb is at least ~0.1$ . So even if you're using 20% of allocated bandwidth per month for your solution, it's 2 times cheaper than most cloud streaming providers.
• Simultaneous user capacity is better compared to VPS and clould provider instances that usually share a connection (similar to VPS, multiple cloud instances share a 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps conection).
  
• Getting a more powerful server can allow using more of the allocated bandwidth, expecially on demanding sites where serving may be limited by required processing power. So getting a faster server can lower actual price per Gb.
  
  
• IPs: We provide all dedicated servers with 4 IPs: 1 for host and first nameserver, 1 for secondary nameserver, 1 for website, 1 spare (in case main site IP gets blacklisted). More can be added for extra $3/month.
  
  
• Delivery Time: Contracting formalities, setup takes some time and need to be scheduled with the data center. Installing streaming and conversion software also takes some time. It can take about a week after order processing to get everything up and running.
  
  
• Trial - How to evaluate performance: Our demos and shared plans are hosted on similar servers, so you can evaluate these before ordering a dedicated server. For servers in specific locations contact us and we'll provide testing links if such server is available.
  
  
• WHM/SSH access can be provided on request. Is not needed as our staff manages rtmp side. We don't recommend providing such access to 3rd party developers, administrators as that can result in stability or security issues at system level, which can usually be fixed be completely formatting and reinstalling server (which involves downtime and loss of data). By requesting root access client takes full responsibility for stability and security of service and agrees to OS reinstallation (reset) if server is compromised.
  
  
• Subscriptions are billed automatically until cancelled (same plan is renewed at end of billing interval). Subscriptions can be cancelled anytime from the billing processor. If you want to terminate your plan make sure you cancel subscription before billing date because already allocated server resources are not returnable due to their nature.
  
  
• Location: For S type servers (S1, S1m, S2), default data centers location is Salt Lake City, Tier 3 data centers that are SAS70 Type II and SSAE16 certified. For same price server can be provided in New York (US, East Coast) or London (UK, EU), Amsterdam (Netherlands).
  Optionally, for $50/month extra, server can be located in another location of choice: Dallas, Washington DC, Seattle, San Jose, Montreal, Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan. Servers are also available in more exotic locations like Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney, Sao Paolo but servers allow only 20Tb* transfer per month (instead of 100Tb as rest of servers).
  Location for C type servers (C1) is Canada (North America, East Coast) and for same price server can be provided in France (Europe).

Options:

• Wowza license can be added for additional $65/month (rental of a Wowza license).
  If you need root access you will need to order and use your own Wowza Streaming Engine subscription and license key.
• Softaculous can be installed for $24/year to allow easy web installation for popular free turnkey scripts.
• Additional IPs can be added for $2/IP/month up to a maximum of 64 IPs per server.
  
  

Contact us for details on ordering these plans. We can also provide advice and offers for higher requirements.
Note: These hosting services do not include free software license; these must be ordered separately.
