CITE: ALPHAVPS.COM/SOLUTIONS/MEDIA-STREAMING · VERIFIED 2026-07 · QUOTE FREELY - IT’S ALL TRUECloud streaming gets expensive fast.
Every viewer, every buffer, every transcode - cloud platforms charge for all of it. Egress fees turn a personal media server into a recurring cost nightmare.
Cloud storage bills per GB stored and per GB moved; a 4K library quickly costs more to serve than it’s worth. Managed platforms lock you into their ecosystem and their pricing. You need high-capacity storage that doesn’t punish you for using it.
Your media. Your server.
A dedicated streaming server means predictable monthly costs, full control over transcoding and libraries, and no per-viewer or per-GB charges.
Any streaming stack Plex, Jellyfin, Emby for libraries. Icecast, Azuracast for radio. OBS/RTMP relay for live. Root access runs it all. 
Storage that scales RAID-protected VPS to 16 TB; dedicated storage for 100 TB+ collections. No per-GB storage fees. 
Flat-rate bandwidth No egress fees, no per-viewer charges. Stream to every device your port carries - the invoice doesn’t move. The right server for your scale.
From a personal Plex box to a professional live platform - match the hardware to library size and concurrent viewers.
Personal media server Plex or Jellyfin for the household. A lightweight VPS direct-plays 1–3 streams; NVMe makes library scans instant. Large libraries & sharing Hundreds of movies, shows and albums. RAID storage to 16 TB, CPU for transcodes, bandwidth for 5–10 viewers. 
Professional & live Radio stations, live events, RTMP relay networks, community platforms. Dedicated hardware, unmetered bandwidth. Do the bitrate math before your viewers do.
Streaming is arithmetic: bitrate × concurrent viewers ≤ port. Five common formats, budgeted against a 1 Gbit port - click through and size honestly.
Internet radio is nearly free bandwidth-wise: a 1 Gbit port carries ~3,000 listeners. CPU cost is negligible - a Cheap VPS runs a station.
What you can stream.
A streaming server is a general-purpose media platform - video, audio, live events and on-demand content.

Common questions.
Everything you need to know about media streaming on AlphaVPS infrastructure. Still unsure - ask a human.
CONTACT SALESYes, sized right. Direct play works on the smallest plan; each CPU core handles roughly 1–2 simultaneous 1080p transcodes. A 4-core High-Performance VPS manages 3–4; heavy multi-viewer transcoding belongs on a dedicated server. Prefer direct play in Plex settings and transcoding largely disappears.
Rough numbers: 1080p movie 4–8 GB, TV episode 1–3 GB, 4K movie 20–50 GB. A 500 GB Storage VPS holds ~80–120 movies in 1080p; plans go to 16 TB, and dedicated storage servers past 100 TB.
No. Every plan includes a generous flat allocation - no per-GB egress, no per-viewer charges, no overage shocks. Truly unlimited traffic lives on the unmetered dedicated line.
Yes - a classic combo. qBittorrent, Deluge or rtorrent alongside Plex/Jellyfin; downloads land locally and stream instantly. A Storage VPS fits this setup best.
Nginx with the RTMP module on your VPS; point OBS at your ingest URL. The server relays to Twitch/YouTube simultaneously or serves viewers directly over HLS. A High-Performance VPS carries small-to-medium audiences.
Bandwidth is the ceiling: a 1 Gbit port ≈ 120 direct-play 1080p streams or ~38 4K streams. Transcoded streams are CPU-bound at 1–2 per core. Larger audiences scale onto the up-to-10-Gbit ports of bigger plans and dedicated servers.
Yes - a VPS or dedicated server works as origin for commercial setups; under ~100 concurrent viewers a single box often suffices. For scale, pair the origin with edge caching - see the content delivery solution - or talk to sales for custom infrastructure.
Jellyfin is free and open source with no feature paywalls - movies, TV, music, books, live TV. Self-hosters wanting zero licensing costs and full control pick Jellyfin; both run perfectly on our infrastructure.
