Video & streaming infrastructure
Video needs a server built for bandwidth and disk speed, not a shared box.
Video platforms, online course libraries and media galleries push far more data than a typical website — large files, sustained transfers, many concurrent viewers. Shared hosting isn't built for that load. Hoststack's Ryzen NVMe VPS from ₹699/mo and Dedicated VDS from ₹1,499/mo are.
Why not shared hosting
Shared hosting is built for websites. Video is a different workload entirely.
Shared plans put dozens of accounts on one server, sized around typical page traffic — not the sustained large-file transfers video demands.
Shared CPU/RAM
Video transcoding and simultaneous streams compete with every other account on the box — playback stutters when the server is busy.
Bandwidth caps & throttling
Shared plans are designed around small page-load traffic. Sustained video delivery can trip fair-use limits meant for ordinary websites.
Slower shared disk I/O
Large video files reading and writing on a disk shared by many accounts means slower playback starts and buffering under load.
No root access
Video platforms often need custom transcoding tools, streaming servers or storage configuration — shared hosting doesn't give you the control to install them.
Built for the workload
What a VPS or Dedicated VDS gets you
NVMe storage for fast video serving
Every Hoststack VPS and Dedicated VDS plan runs on NVMe SSD, not SATA — 5–10x faster disk I/O. That means quicker playback starts and smoother delivery when multiple viewers pull video files at once.
Generous, unmetered bandwidth
Every plan runs on a 1 Gbps dedicated port with unmetered bandwidth — no fixed monthly transfer cap. A fair-use policy applies to sustained multi-gigabit traffic that could affect other customers, but ordinary video delivery has room to run.
Root access, your software stack
Full root SSH access on Linux VPS and Dedicated VDS means you can install whatever streaming server, transcoding pipeline, or CMS your video platform needs — no shared-hosting restrictions.
Use cases
Who this is for
Small video platforms
Niche streaming sites, community video hubs, or a video-heavy media brand that's outgrown shared hosting's limits.
Online course hosting
Self-hosted LMS platforms serving lecture videos to students, where reliable delivery under concurrent load matters.
Media & photo galleries
Photography studios, event businesses and agencies serving large image/video galleries to clients need fast, dependable disk I/O.
Which tier
VPS or Dedicated VDS — a simple guide
Linux VPS
₹699/mo
Good for a smaller video platform, a course library, or a media gallery getting started. Shared-core performance is enough while your concurrent viewer count is moderate.
Dedicated VDS
₹1,499/mo
Choose this when you need guaranteed, non-shared CPU and RAM for consistent transcoding and streaming performance under higher concurrent viewer load — no noisy-neighbour risk.
Need more headroom? VPS scales up to ₹16,999/mo and Dedicated VDS up to ₹24,999/mo — or step up to full bare-metal Dedicated Servers from ₹22,999/mo.
