Streaming Dedicated Servers — Unmetered Bandwidth for IPTV, VOD and Live Video
Streaming is a bandwidth-and-I/O problem: viewers arrive in bursts, transcodes hammer the CPU and storage, and one popular title can triple your egress overnight. HOSTCAY streaming dedicated servers are built for that reality — unmetered 1–20 Gbps ports, NVMe storage and full root access, from €50/month.
*Custom Intel or AMD server models with higher CPU, RAM & STORAGE available. Contact us for a quote. All servers come with up to 40Gbps uplinks for fast performance on our own network infrastructure, hardware, ASN, and IP subnets in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
† Our Netherlands location offers free 2000 Gbit Layer 3/4 DDoS protection, a user-friendly control panel (reboot, console access, reinstall), and high-quality Juniper/Arista network equipment for reliable performance. By default, servers come with 1 Gbit unmetered ports, though some models offer 10 Gbit shared ports. Dedicated 10 Gbit ports are available (subject to availability). Custom hardware setups (higher disk/RAM models) and higher bandwidth are also available. Contact support via Ticket or Live Chat for more details.
† We operate our own network infrastructure, hardware, ASN, and IP subnets in Amsterdam, Netherlands, ensuring full control, stability, and premium performance. We offer up to 40Gbps streaming speeds and custom dedicated server solutions. If you require specific configurations, please contact us via ticket. Not all available server models are listed on our website.
† Self-managed dedicated servers are available with White-label Control Panel Management, SSH (Linux) or Remote Desktop (Windows). We guarantee 99.9% uptime for reliability. Custom configurations are available—please contact support for more details. Activation in the Netherlands location typically occurs within 1 hour on workdays.

Why HOSTCAY
Why streamers run on HOSTCAY dedicated servers
A shared host will throttle you the moment your evening peak lands. A HOSTCAY streaming server gives your platform its own CPU, its own NVMe and its own unmetered uplink.
Unmetered streaming bandwidth
1 Gbps unmetered as standard, 10–20 Gbps on selected models and 40 Gbps on request. No egress invoices when a title goes viral.
IPTV and VOD proven
XUI/Xtream-style IPTV panels, VOD libraries, catch-up services and live channel distribution all run comfortably on our hardware.
NVMe + high-core CPUs
Fast storage and multi-core Xeon/EPYC platforms keep transcoding, thumbnailing and read-heavy streaming responsive.
Scale storage on demand
Start with 1 TB NVMe and add disks as your library grows — 2 TB+ and RAID options available on request.
DDoS protection for live events
Up to 2 Tbps mitigation in the Netherlands keeps streams alive through attacks, which are common around live sports.
Complaints handled under local law
Streaming platforms attract complaints; our abuse team assesses them under the law of the server’s jurisdiction, and lawful streams stay online.
Origin for your own CDN
Use your dedicated server as a high-bandwidth origin feeding Cloudflare, Bunny or your own edge nodes.
24/7 engineer support
Bandwidth, peering and codec questions answered by engineers who deal with streaming traffic daily.

How it works
Launch your streaming platform in four steps
Most streaming servers are online the same day, ready for your panel and codecs.
Choose your server
Pick a model with the right CPU and storage, or ask us to spec a transcoding or high-bandwidth build.
Order
Pay by card, PayPal or crypto — discreet, neutral invoicing.
Install your stack
Deploy your IPTV panel, Nginx/RTMP setup, FFmpeg transcoders or Wowza from the control panel.
Migrate and scale
We move your existing platform free of charge, then help you add storage, ports or nodes as concurrency grows.
FAQ
Streaming and IPTV hosting FAQ
What streaming operators ask before moving to HOSTCAY.
How much bandwidth does a streaming server need?
Bandwidth scales with concurrent viewers and bitrate. As a rule of thumb a 5 Mbps stream to 200 simultaneous viewers needs about 1 Gbps of sustained egress. Unmetered 1–20 Gbps ports and 40 Gbps upgrades cover everything from a small IPTV panel to a large VOD origin.
Can I host an IPTV panel here?
Yes. IPTV panels, reseller systems, catch-up services and channel distribution are hosted by many of our clients on both dedicated servers and VPS plans.
Do you allow 4K and HEVC streaming?
Yes. High-core Xeon and EPYC platforms with NVMe storage handle 4K, HEVC and multi-bitrate transcoding, though for large transcoding farms we often recommend multiple servers or dedicated transcoding nodes.
Is traffic really unmetered?
Traffic is not billed per terabyte and is not throttled at an arbitrary fair-use ceiling. Your practical limit is the port speed of the server you choose.
Will DMCA notices take my streaming site down?
Notices are assessed by our abuse team under the law of the server jurisdiction. Content that is illegal in the server’s jurisdiction is the only exception.
Do you offer DDoS protection suitable for live sports?
Yes — up to 2 Tbps Layer 3/4 mitigation in the Netherlands, which is where most live-event attacks are absorbed.
Can I use the server as a CDN origin?
Absolutely. Many clients run a HOSTCAY dedicated server as origin storage and pair it with Cloudflare, Bunny or their own edge nodes for worldwide delivery.
Which panels and software are supported?
With full root access you can install anything: Nginx with the RTMP module, Wowza, FFmpeg, Icecast, XUI/Xtream-style panels, Plex, Jellyfin and custom applications.
How much storage should I order for a VOD library?
It depends on your catalogue and bitrate. A 1080p film is typically 2–5 GB; order NVMe now and add disks later, or ask us for a storage-heavy build.
Can I run live streaming with low latency?
Yes. Low-latency HLS and WebRTC setups work well, especially from our Netherlands and Germany locations with strong European peering.
Do you support reseller streaming businesses?
Yes. Many clients host their own panel, then resell capacity or run load-balanced node clusters from additional servers at HOSTCAY.
Is adult streaming content permitted?
Yes — see our adult dedicated servers, which are configured for exactly this kind of video workload.
How fast can a streaming server be delivered?
Netherlands stock models are usually online within an hour; large storage or custom builds can take up to 24 hours.
Can you migrate my existing IPTV or VOD platform?
Yes, your first migration is free. We can move panels, databases and media libraries to the new server.
