Flussonic Server Hosting Sized for Real Transcoding Loads.
Bare metal with the processor headroom transcoding requires, uplink capacity for real channel counts, and storage for recording and catch up. Delivered with a 10-day Flussonic trial licence.
Built for Operators.
Infrastructure sized specifically for IPTV providers, OTT platform operators, systems integrators, and media server migrations.
IPTV Service Providers
Delivering television channels to subscribers, often with catch up and recording. Channel count and transcoding load determine the hardware more than anything else.
Over the Top Platform Operators
Streaming direct to viewers across devices and networks, where adaptive bitrate delivery is essential rather than optional.
Systems Integrators
Building and running services for broadcast clients, where hardware needs to be right the first time and the timeline is not yours.
Operators Migrating Media Servers
Moving from another media server and needing infrastructure sized correctly for the new one rather than inherited from the old.
Where the Server Sits Matters.
For television delivery, the distance between the server and the audience shows up directly as start time and rebuffering, particularly on mobile networks. If your subscribers are concentrated in one region, the server should be near them.
If they are spread across several, that is a distribution conversation rather than a single server conversation. Tell us where your audience is before choosing a location, because it is much harder to change afterwards.
Sized by Channels, Transcoding and Viewers.
Four numbers determine the machine: how many channels you ingest, how many of those need transcoding and into how many profiles, your peak concurrent viewers, and how many hours of recording you need to retain.
The first two set the processor requirement, the third sets the uplink, and the fourth sets the storage. Send us those numbers and we will specify it rather than guess.

WORKS WITH
Why Sizing Matters More Here Than Anywhere Else.
Most hosting workloads are forgiving. A media server doing live transcoding is not. Transcoding is genuinely processor intensive, and the number of channels a machine can transcode simultaneously depends on the processor, the codecs and the output profiles rather than on any tier name.
Meanwhile the delivery side is bandwidth bound: every concurrent viewer consumes their profile's bitrate for as long as they watch. Those two demands pull in different directions, which is why a server chosen only for bandwidth will disappoint on transcoding and a server chosen only for processing will run out of uplink. Tell us your channel count, your transcoding profiles and your expected concurrent viewers, and we will size for both.

What We Handle and What Stays Yours.
We deliver the server with Flussonic Media Server installed on a 10-day trial licence, within 2 to 46 business hours, with full root access and Free Basic Managed Support for quick tasks. Your channels and transcoding stay with you or your integrator; Catena or Watcher on request.
If you need help at that layer, or want us to run the server, hire our engineers from $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour, or by the month.
Contact UsWhat Operators Use It For.
Key streaming capabilities Flussonic Media Server provides for television and IPTV operations.
Live Channels With Adaptive Delivery
Multiple quality profiles generated from a single source so viewers on any connection get a watchable stream. This is where transcoding load comes from and it is what the hardware must be sized around.
Recording and Catch Up
Continuous recording so viewers can pause, rewind or watch a programme after it aired. This consumes storage steadily and predictably, and it is the requirement most often underestimated at the sizing stage.
Multiple Delivery Protocols
Delivery to browsers, mobile applications and set top boxes across the protocols each requires, from a single ingest. The practical benefit is not needing separate infrastructure per device type.
& Support
About the Software Licence.
Worth settling before anything else, because it is the largest variable in your monthly cost. Flussonic Media Server is commercially licensed by its vendor and the licence is a significant cost in its own right, independent of the hardware it runs on.
Every server comes with a 10-day Flussonic trial licence so you can test it. After that you buy your Flussonic licence from the vendor, or bring one you already have; it is not part of the server price.
Flussonic in 2026, in Plain Words.
Flussonic, the company formerly known as Erlyvideo, has moved its product line on. Here is what that means for a server you buy today.
Media Server: still supported
Flussonic Media Server is what we install by default. Flussonic still ships fixes for it (version 26.10, October 2026) and says it stays supported, so it is a safe choice today.
Catena for IPTV and OTT
New TV and OTT services are pointed to Flussonic Catena: streaming, middleware, apps, DRM and timeshift in one product.
Watcher for cameras
Video surveillance, recording and IP cameras are handled by Flussonic Watcher.
A new streaming core
Catena and Watcher run on Sapsan, Flussonic's new streaming core written in Rust. Existing licences can be converted, on terms Flussonic sets per installation.
Our servers run all of them
The same dedicated servers run Flussonic Media Server today and Catena or Watcher when you move. The hardware does not change; the licence does, and Flussonic offers to convert Media Server licences to Catena.
Licence from Flussonic
Flussonic sells monthly subscriptions and one-off perpetual licences, and gives out trial keys for testing. Check the current price with Flussonic: it is separate from the server.
You May Not Need Flussonic at All.
Four ways to stream video with Ucartz, from one channel on a shared server to a full operator platform. Pick by what you actually stream.
Shared video streaming
One channel live from OBS, with recordings, on a shared server. The lowest cost way to start.
VDO Panel dedicated server
Run 24/7 TV channels from a playlist, go live from OBS and restream to YouTube and Facebook at once, with a reseller panel.
Flussonic dedicated server
IPTV and OTT, many channels, transcoding, DVR and CCTV recording, with the Flussonic licence you choose.
Red5 dedicated server
Open source Red5 for RTMP live streams; real-time WebRTC for auctions, classes and two-way video needs a Red5 Pro licence.
Plan bandwidth from your peak viewers: viewers times bitrate, plus about 30 percent headroom. One hour of 720p at 3 Mbps is about 1.35 GB per viewer.
From Specification to Live.
Hardware chosen and configured for your exact channel count and transcoding requirements.
Send Us the Numbers
Channels, transcoding profiles, peak concurrent viewers, recording retention and audience location.
We Specify and Build
Pick the plan for your transcoding and delivery load. We deliver it with the operating system installed, within 2 to 46 business hours.
Deploy Your Media Server
You or your integrator install and configure the media server, with root access and our engineers available for anything at the infrastructure layer.
Video streaming under your own brand.
Your viewers see your channel, your player and your name, never ours.
No Ucartz branding
Our name appears nowhere your customers can see: not in the panel, the player or the stream.
White-label hostnames
Your services run on neutral, white-label hostnames, never on a Ucartz domain, so customers only ever see your brand.
Your player, your look
Brand the player and pages you embed on your own site.
Resell it freely
Producing streams for clients? Resell the service under your own name.
Every Ucartz service is 100% white label. Hosting, radio and video streaming run on white-label hostnames, and anything you buy from us, Hire an Expert work included, can be resold or outsourced under your own name.
