Windows VPS for Streaming — Relay, Transcode, Broadcast

Many streaming applications are Windows-native or work best on Windows. OBS Studio, XSplit, Wirecast, and vMix all run on Windows, and setting up RTMP relays with tools like Nginx-RTMP or Restream is straightforward in a familiar Windows environment. A dedicated VPS means your streams run 24/7 without tying up your local machine.

Bandwidth is the lifeblood of streaming, and our 1 Gbps unmetered ports provide more than enough for multiple simultaneous streams. Whether you are relaying a single 1080p stream to three platforms or hosting a Plex library for a dozen concurrent viewers, the network will not be your bottleneck.

Offshore hosting adds a critical advantage for media projects: DMCA-ignored policies mean your streams and media library are not subject to automated takedown systems. This is particularly relevant for restreaming, media archival, and content that attracts copyright trolls.

RTMP Relay: Install Nginx with the RTMP module (or use OBS in relay mode) to restream your content to multiple platforms simultaneously — Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and custom endpoints. Your VPS handles the multi-stream fan-out so your upload bandwidth at home only needs to push one stream.

Plex/Jellyfin Media Server: Host your personal media library on a Windows VPS and stream to any device from anywhere. NVMe storage ensures smooth playback even during transcoding. Our 1 Gbps port handles multiple concurrent 4K streams without buffering.

Live Transcoding: Use FFmpeg, HandBrake, or commercial transcoding software on your Windows VPS to convert live or recorded video between formats and resolutions. The multi-core CPUs in our higher-tier plans handle real-time 1080p and 4K transcoding workflows.

Streaming and transcoding are resource-intensive. For a single 1080p RTMP relay, our 2 vCPU / 4 GB entry plan is sufficient. For transcoding or multi-stream relay, we recommend 4 vCPU / 8 GB as a minimum. Plex libraries with frequent transcoding benefit from 4+ vCPU and 16+ GB RAM.

NVMe SSD storage is essential for media workloads. Spinning disks cannot keep up with the sequential read/write demands of video playback and transcoding. Our NVMe arrays deliver sustained read speeds above 3 GB/s, ensuring your media plays back without stuttering even under load.

For projects with large media libraries, our plans offer up to 400 GB NVMe storage. Additional storage can be added as block volumes if you need terabytes of space. We also support mounting external storage via iSCSI or SMB for hybrid setups.

Light Streaming: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe, 1 Gbps — $25/mo. Suitable for single-stream RTMP relay, small Plex libraries, or audio streaming. Mid Streaming: 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB NVMe — $55/mo. Handles multi-stream relay, medium Plex libraries with transcoding, and light video encoding.

Heavy Streaming: 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, 400 GB NVMe — $99/mo. For large media libraries, 4K transcoding, multi-platform restreaming, and professional broadcasting setups. All plans include a 1 Gbps unmetered port — no bandwidth caps or overage fees.

Payment via Bitcoin, Monero, credit cards, or PayPal. Offshore locations in the Netherlands, Romania, and Iceland provide DMCA-ignored hosting for media projects that need content stability. Setup is instant with pre-configured RDP access.
