Why Host Streaming on OMC Cloud

Video streaming demands high bandwidth, low latency, and reliable uptime. Dropped frames and buffering kill viewer engagement. Cloud streaming services charge per viewer-hour — costs scale unpredictably with audience size.

OMC Cloud provides dedicated VPS with generous bandwidth, NVMe storage for VOD content, and 24 global data centers for low-latency delivery. Run Nginx-RTMP, Wowza, Ant Media, or any streaming stack with full root access. Fixed monthly pricing means predictable costs regardless of viewer count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run a live streaming server?+

Yes. Install Nginx-RTMP, Wowza, Ant Media Server, or Owncast for RTMP ingest and HLS/DASH delivery.

How many concurrent viewers can I support?+

Depends on bitrate and bandwidth. A 32 GB VPS with generous bandwidth handles hundreds of concurrent viewers. For thousands, add a CDN layer.

Can I use GPU for transcoding?+

Yes. NVIDIA GPUs with NVENC provide hardware-accelerated transcoding for multi-bitrate streaming.

What about VOD (video on demand)?+

NVMe storage for fast content delivery. Store your video library on the VPS and serve via HLS or DASH.

Is OBS compatible?+

Yes. Configure OBS to push RTMP to your OMC Cloud server. Any RTMP-compatible encoder works.

Can I use a CDN with OMC Cloud?+

Yes. Use your streaming server as origin and any CDN (Cloudflare, BunnyCDN, AWS CloudFront) as edge.
