CPU-only streaming server for live video (Owncast), internet radio (Icecast/AzuraCast), and RTMP restreaming. Bandwidth is the real cost driver here — every plan ships high TB caps and unmetered ports where possible. Built for Streamers, podcasters, internet radio operators, IPTV resellers.
Every streaming / broadcast plan includes free DDoS protection, full root access, IPv6 networking, daily snapshots, and 24/7 human support.
Order, wait 30 seconds for deploy, log in — your stack is running.
Owncast for live video, AzuraCast for radio with a full DJ panel, Nginx-RTMP for restream/relay.
Standard adaptive streaming. Plays everywhere — browser, mobile, Roku, Apple TV, smart TVs.
Where the location supports it, we ship unmetered 1 Gbps ports. No surprise bandwidth bills mid-month.
AzuraCast and Owncast both ship analytics — concurrent listeners, peak hours, source IP geo.
These plans are CPU-only. If you need GPU transcoding, contact us — we offer dedicated GPU servers separately.
Pick Frankfurt, Helsinki, or Singapore for DMCA-relaxed streaming. US/UK locations enforce takedown notices.

You could install Owncast / Icecast / AzuraCast / Nginx-RTMP on a generic $5 VPS. Most people who try spend an evening on the install, another on hardening, another on backups, and then it falls over the first time the kernel updates. We've done that work — every streaming / broadcast plan is tuned, monitored, and updateable in one click.
No black boxes — here's the exact software shipped on every Streaming / Broadcast VPS plan.
The Streaming / Broadcast VPS image ships with: Owncast / Icecast / AzuraCast / Nginx-RTMP. We don't fork or patch — we use the official upstream releases, with sensible defaults for our hardware. Update on your schedule, not ours.
Everything runs in containers via Docker, so updates are atomic. If a release breaks something, roll back to the previous image in 30 seconds. No 'I broke prod by running apt upgrade' moments.
The same KVM hypervisor and enterprise NVMe drives we use across every OliveVPS region.
Pick from 20+ datacenter regions worldwide. Streaming / Broadcast VPS VPS pricing stays the same in every region — the hardware specs, the bandwidth allowance, the SSD speed. The only thing that changes is your latency to end users.
It's bandwidth, not CPU. 128 kbps radio stream × 100 listeners = ~6 GB/hr. Pro at 15 TB/mo handles ~2500 concurrent radio listeners 24/7. Live 1080p video at 5 Mbps × 50 viewers = ~110 GB/hr — Premium at 30 TB handles ~270 concurrent viewers 24/7.
Yes, technically. But 24/7 IPTV restream of licensed content (Hollywood, sports broadcasts) will get you a DMCA strike fast. Original content, public-domain, and legal restreams are fine in DMCA-relaxed regions.
Yes — Owncast and AzuraCast both run behind Caddy with auto-renewed Let's Encrypt certs. Listeners hit `https://stream.yourdomain.com/listen` cleanly.
CPU-based transcoding is supported in AzuraCast for radio (cheap) and Owncast for video (expensive — only the Premium plan handles 1080p→multi-bitrate transcoding smoothly).
