Wowza Streaming Engine hosting on unmetered bare-metal.
Run the enterprise streaming server on iron built for it — unmetered 25/40/100 Gbit/s ports so egress never bankrupts you, RTX PRO GPUs for NVENC transcode, and sub-2s latency to real viewers. Bring your Wowza license, we bring the tuned box.
Why Wowza needs real bandwidth and a GPU.
A single 1080p viewer pulls ~5 Mbps; 10,000 of them is 50 Gbit/s. On a metered host that's a five-figure egress bill. Here the port is unmetered — stream to a stadium of viewers for a flat monthly price.
Wowza's ABR ladder (1080p/720p/480p/360p) crushes CPUs. Offload it to an RTX PRO 4500 or 6000 with NVENC — one GPU box does the work of a rack of software-transcode servers and stays cool doing it.
Direct peering at AMS-IX, EPIX, UA-IX and FL-IX plus LL-HLS and WebRTC output means glass-to-glass latency under two seconds — close enough for live sport, auctions and interactive streams.
Live streams are prime DDoS targets. Every Wowza server sits behind 1.6 Tbit/s of always-on L3-L7 scrubbing, so a rival's $5 booter doesn't knock your event offline.
Sized for Wowza.

Wowza Streaming Engine deployed and configured — RTMP/SRT/RTSP/WebRTC ingest, HLS/DASH/CMAF packaging, REST API enabled. You bring the license, we bring the tuned box.
NVENC drivers and Wowza GPU acceleration set up out of the box on GPU tiers — add ABR renditions without touching the CPU.
25 / 40 / 100 Gbit/s at flat pricing. No per-GB egress, no 95th-percentile surprises when a stream goes viral.
LL-HLS, WebRTC and tuned HLS chunking for sub-2s delivery. SRT ingest for contribution over lossy internet uplinks.
Attach a Storage Vault for nDVR recording and VOD libraries — record every live channel, serve on demand, scale to hundreds of TB.
1.6 Tbit/s of always-on scrubbing in front of every ingest and edge. Your stream stays live under attack.
Wowza Streaming Engine hosting — unmetered bandwidth + GPU transcode
Wowza Streaming Engine is the enterprise workhorse for live and on-demand video: it ingests RTMP, SRT, RTSP and WebRTC, transcodes to a full adaptive-bitrate ladder, and packages to HLS, DASH and CMAF with low-latency options. It is powerful software — and it is hungry. Transcoding pins CPUs, and delivery moves serious bandwidth the moment your audience grows.
Hostfory gives Wowza exactly what it needs. Every server runs on an unmetered 25 / 40 / 100 Gbit/s port, so streaming to thousands of concurrent viewers costs a flat monthly price instead of a per-gigabyte egress bill. GPU tiers add an RTX PRO 4500 or 6000 so Wowza's NVENC transcoding produces a full ABR ladder without melting the CPU — one GPU box replaces a rack of software-transcode servers. Direct peering at AMS-IX, EPIX, UA-IX and FL-IX keeps glass-to-glass latency under two seconds for LL-HLS and WebRTC output.
For live events and 24/7 channels you can pair a Wowza origin with a Storage Vault for nDVR recording and VOD, and put dedicated edge nodes in front for multi-region delivery — a full broadcast stack on bare metal you control. Servers provision in a few hours with Wowza installed and tuned; you bring your Wowza license (perpetual BYOL or monthly) and go live the same day.
