Streaming server rental
Why host with us?
When it comes to streaming video, managing audience expectations can be very challenging.

The service we provide has multiple network connections for redundancy and speed ensuring your audience will enjoy a reliable viewing experience.
Why outsource video hosting?
Storing video files on a web server is not best practice for delivering corporate grade video communications over the web. When it comes to putting a webcast out under your brand you must provide your audience with the best possible delivery mechanism - a streaming media server.
Why video should not be hosted on a web server
Web servers are designed to host text, images and even Flash content but are not designed for sending 25 frames per second of quality video down to the browser. Videos will buffer when the server receives more than one request at time and there are limitations in terms of reporting for video content. To ensure the user experience is a positive one video content should be hosted on a dedicated streaming server.
