Our core strengths in streaming
Here's why you can trust NovoServe in building your dedicated streaming servers with the lowest latency. We ensure a great streaming experience for your global audience.
50Gbps Dedicated Ports
We don't do "shared" uplinks. When you order a dedicated 10Gbps streaming server, you get the full 10Gbps. We can scale your dedicated port speed to 20Gbps, 40Gbps, or even 50Gbps per server depending on your egress requirements. This guarantees that your throughput remains stable even during peak viewing hours or viral live events.Truly Unmetered
Predictable costs are vital for streaming businesses. Our bandwidth plans are generous and transparent. You can run your lines flat-out 24/7 without fear of overage charges. Whether you push 5PB or 50PB of data, our unmetered network supports your workflow, allowing you to focus on content quality rather than watching the meter.
High Performance Processing
Transcoding is resource-intensive. We deploy high-frequency Intel Xeon and high-core-count AMD EPYC processors designed to handle heavy encoding workloads (H.264/H.265/AV1). You can customize your chassis with massive RAM and NVMe storage for efficient caching, ensuring your origin server never becomes a bottleneck.Certified Data Security
Your content assets and user data are valuable. Our dedicated streaming servers are housed in Tier-III data centers that lead the industry in physical and digital security. We are fully compliant with PCI DSS, GDPR, and ISO 27001 standards, providing the compliant, secure foundation that premium broadcasters and media enterprises require.

Streaming server use cases
Dedicated servers are the engine room of the modern internet. Our infrastructure supports a vast array of industries and applications.
All about dedicated streaming servers
What is a dedicated streaming server?
A dedicated streaming server is a single-tenant physical bare-metal machine engineered specifically to ingest, transcode, and deliver audio and video content directly to end-users without hardware sharing. Unlike virtual private servers (VPS), you retain absolute root control over the physical hardware. This strict isolation prevents "noisy neighbor" degradation, ensuring your CPU-intensive transcoding tasks and disk operations execute flawlessly under heavy loads.
At NovoServe, our streaming servers utilize proven enterprise-grade HPE and Supermicro chassis equipped with high-core Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC processors. They are physically housed in ISO-certified Tier-3 data centers across the US and Europe, connected directly to our multi-terabit backbone. This combination of raw compute power and premium global transit ensures high-definition video reaches your CDN edge or direct viewers with sub-second latency.
Do I need dedicated servers for media content streaming?
Yes, our dedicated servers fully allow and technically support legitimate high-bandwidth video media content streaming. Our unmetered hosting solutions are intentionally engineered for bandwidth-hungry applications, such as streaming high-definition video to thousands of concurrent viewers or distributing heavy assets globally. We do not enforce restrictive Fair Use Policies (FUP) that artificially throttle your network speed.
When you purchase an unmetered port, such as a 10Gbps dedicated connection, that entire capacity is yours to utilize 24/7 at full speed without hidden data caps. We actively encourage media streaming businesses, provided the broadcasted content complies strictly with our Terms of Service regarding legal activity. You retain total root control to install any custom streaming software stack required.
What are the supported dedicated ports?
We support a highly scalable range of dedicated uplink ports starting at 1Gbps and extending up to 50Gbps to accommodate massive media streaming workloads. Our standard entry-level configurations are ideal for small-to-medium platforms, while heavier workloads seamlessly utilize our 2Gbps, 5Gbps, 10Gbps, and 20Gbps unmetered dedicated options. Every port we provision is fully dedicated, meaning you never share your allocated capacity with other tenants.
For enterprise-grade media traffic, we instantly deploy up to 50Gbps unmetered server uplinks directly via our webshop. If your streaming architecture demands extreme capacity beyond standard limits, our network engineers can design bespoke topologies, including aggregated bandwidth pools or custom 100Gbps private networking. This infrastructure flexibility allows you to scale port capacity instantly alongside your viewer base.
How is your network optimised for streaming?
Our network is optimized for streaming through a massive 18+ Tbps global backbone, multi-homed across Tier-1 transit providers and extensive direct peering connections. We route 100% of our traffic as Premium, utilizing intelligent Noction-optimized routing to automatically select the lowest-latency path with the fewest hops to your viewers. This automated route optimization minimizes the buffering and packet loss that cripples live media delivery.
We maintain a heavy physical presence at major internet exchanges like AMS-IX and NL-IX, alongside direct Private Network Interconnects (PNI) with dominant content networks such as Google, Cloudflare, OVH, and CDN77. By utilizing redundant core switches with up to 800Gbps connections, our architecture absorbs sudden traffic spikes flawlessly. You deliver high-bitrate video globally without internal network congestion.
What are your dedicated servers suited for?
Our dedicated servers are uniquely suited for resource-heavy, high-throughput applications including media streaming, global Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), and Big Data analytics. Because we provide raw bare-metal control and unmetered high-capacity network ports, these machines excel in environments where predicting exact data transfer volumes is impossible and routing latency must remain minimal.
Beyond video delivery, this bare-metal infrastructure powers demanding workloads such as AI training via GPU servers, high-frequency gaming, VPN services managing thousands of encrypted connections, and complex Cloud hypervisor nodes. The combination of enterprise-grade HPE hardware, 24/7 technical NOC support, and up to 50Gbps uplinks makes them the definitive foundation for businesses requiring absolute reliability.
Can I ask for a free streaming test server?
Yes, we can arrange a free-of-charge test server for a limited time so you can benchmark our network and hardware performance against your live streaming workloads. We rely on total transparency and encourage you to verify our low-latency routing, throughput capabilities, and bare-metal stability before making a financial commitment to our infrastructure.
To initiate a hardware test, simply register an account in the NovoServe Customer Portal and reach out to our team via live chat or our contact form. Additionally, you can immediately utilize our public Looking Glass and Speedtest tools located in our Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and New York nodes to execute HTTP or iPerf tests, validating the raw network capacity right now.
Do your servers allow for video media content streaming?
Yes. NovoServe is a DMCA-compliant host that fully supports legal video media streaming. We work with many OTT platforms, broadcasters, and media companies. As long as the content complies with the laws of the hosting jurisdiction (Netherlands, Denmark, or USA) and our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), you are free to stream live or VOD content. We do not cap your traffic, making us an ideal partner for high-volume media businesses.
How much bandwidth do I need for my streaming dedicated servers?
The bandwidth required for your streaming dedicated servers depends entirely on your concurrent viewer count multiplied by your video bitrate. A standard 1080p stream typically consumes 5 to 8 Mbps per viewer. Therefore, a 10Gbps unmetered dedicated port can comfortably support approximately 1,200 to 1,500 simultaneous viewers streaming in full HD without buffering, packet loss, or network saturation.
When calculating capacity for 4K streaming (15-25 Mbps per viewer) or handling massive traffic spikes, enterprise platforms need extensive headroom. We provide highly scalable uplink speeds, starting with 1Gbps ports and scaling up to 20Gbps, and massive 50Gbps unmetered server configurations. Selecting an unmetered plan ensures you maximize throughput continuously without tracking terabytes of transferred data, securing a predictable monthly operational cost.
