Creating a Streaming Server

I want create Streaming server, i have more than 100K online users.
this is the first time that i will use servers for Streaming, so i want know how many servers i need for this number of online users?
Will I find support that can equip servers and link them together?

The video bufferings when embedded on other websites are so low. It waits a lot to buffer. So which modules should we install to make it faster?
Server: CentOS7 , Webmin Dedicated Server
Videos encoded with: mp4 Requiring: Fast Static video streaming.

Hello,

I apologize if I'm not using the right terminology or if I am really new to this.

A few months ago, I started a website where people can upload short videos (50 MB max). Unfortunately, some users have complained that the upload speed on my website is lower compared to similar websites. The upload speed on my website only reaches 8mbps but the two similar websites have upload speed between 12-16 mbps. After talking to the host about the problem, they told me the following: There's still an issue which we'll be resolving in the future with our network that when there's a high latency between the server and the client the connection will slow down for some reason.

I have tested my website and the 2 similar websites from my home internet and the internet of several other friends, and I have seen similar results for the upload speed.

I am currently using a VPS from Scalahosting and their customer service has been amazing, but I do want to change providers as I would like my users to have a higher upload speed when uploading videos.

I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions on what host I can use for either a dedicated server or a streaming server? I am really new to this so I would need a managed services. The budget is not a problem so any server with a high upload speed for the users will be good.

Any help would be appreciate it.

one of my new clients needs to buy a new server. He runs a private school online. He runs all courses online. As he said he needs 40 TB monthly bandwidth . According to him , about 15000 students visit his courses every day. All of the course videos have been added to his website. But he does not do live streaming. Anybody can visit his website and watch those videos anytime. Can the following server meet his requirement ? I kindly request the advice of the experts here.

Supermicro 2xE5-2680v1
32GB 2x512GB SSD
100 Mbps Limit - Unmetered

I am looking to buy a dedicated server for my video project, I have multiple video upload at the same time each video I upload is about 2-3 GB in size and about 2-3 hours in length (TV Series/Movies). Currently I am using Intel Xeon E5-1650V3 dedicated server with 128GB of RAM with dedicated port link speed 1GBPS but when I convert mp4/avi videos into HLS using FFMPEG it takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour on each video to convert but I need some faster solution that can do within less then 15 minutes. Some hosting companies recommends to add GPU in it.Please recommend me a dedicated server specification that can handle version conversion very fast. features I will be using CentOS7, FFMPEGLooking forward for recommendations

Is it really that great? Is it necessary?

On a dedicated server with cpanel/whm and 50-200 different websites hosted on it. (standard business sites - no gaming, radio, streaming etc)

Why should we add Litespeed?

Why should we add CloudLinux?

For a dedicated server that houses 50-200 sites (business sites - no radio/streaming/gaming etc)

What would be the benefit to changing to Direct admin?

Will save some money, but...

Are there complications in switching over?
After the switch...Will there be challenges that make me wish for cpanel again?

have you done this? how did it go?

Do you recommend to or not to do? why/why not?

I need good server for file transcoding service like avi to mp4, mp3 to mp4, pdf to doc etc. etc., for small files that is not big problem but what to use for large video files on most servers ffmpeg will need some nice time to transcode 700MB avi to some other format...first I think to use many graphic cards for this job, look like it is possible but after reading some reviews and testing look like speed is a lot better but quality is very bad and look like nvidia cards is best to use...

Somebody have good option for this project? Any info will be nice...

Thanks.

Hi all,

I'm new here and this my first post

So I'd like to get my own dedicated server and set it up at home to be used for games only but I have no idea what kind of specs that is needed when it comes to servers and the distribution of system resources such as CPU, RAM etc. Storage is self explained obviously.
I'm looking to host like a Minecraft server, 7 days to die server, Rust server etc but in general, if possible to say, how many game servers can you run on a single machine?
What is a good server Intel Xeon CPU these days that is not overkilling my needs to run a few game servers on the machine? Is 64 GB of RAM enough to start with?
What is best for my needs when it comes to the server type like a tower or a rack?

I'm just trying to get an estimated cost to set this all up and i'm a bit overwhelmed what is enough and not so my apologies if I don't provide much information so if you need any more details in order to assist, let me know and I'd be happy to be more specific in the topic .
Internet speed is not an issue as I have 1 Gbit up and down.

Thanks in advance!
