  3. Media Streaming • It is the process through which multimedia data is transferred and delivered from a streaming service provider to the end-user over the Internet in a compressed form which eliminates the need to wait for a file to be completely downloaded for the purpose of viewing or listening. • In it the audio and video data is delivered using HTTP, TCP/IP, and HTML protocols which is then played back instantly, rather than being saved to the hard drive for playback at a later time. It is sent and received according to network availability. Hence, network speed and bandwidth are essential requirements.

  4. Media Streaming Server Hosting YELLOW • Every website is delivered and made accessible through a server which is meant to deliver content over the Internet. Media streaming server hosting is a professional service that is provided to online users to upload, organize, host and deliver on demand video content. This service makes it possible for you to achieve this without having to buy and configure your own servers. • Streaming media is made possible through a professional and reliable streaming media hosting service that hosts and makes accessible these data files. 

  5. Web Hosting • Before we delve into media streaming server hosting, let us touch upon an interconnected topic which is that of web hosting. Web hosting is a professional service that is provided by web hosting companies in which server space is sold or leased for a website’s files to be stored on it, in order for the website to be accessible over the Internet.

  6. Web Hosting Companies Web hosting companies provide the service and technology that is needed for a website to be hosted on their servers. There are many website hosting companies in India and abroad to choose from which offer various plans for the different types of hosting services. Some of these have made a name for themselves as the providers of the best Windows hosting services in 2020. Then there are those that specialize in corporate web hosting while others have earned the reputation of being the top-notch cloud hosting company.

  7. Making a Choice Choosing the best streaming media hosting service can be a challenge if you do not have enough knowledge about it or you lack adequate information to guide you. So, in the following slides there will be a comprehensive guide for this which will shed light on the factors to consider before making a choice.

  8. Network Reliability It is an extremely important factor that must not be ignored. You need to ensure network reliability for which you must look at certain factors, such as, the quality of the networking hardware that is being used by the hosting service and their bandwidth partners. Then you must consider the number of redundant network routes from the data center along with the hosting service’s commitment to manage its network properly which includes but is not limited to overselling its bandwidth. The choice and quality of the bandwidth provider is another essential factor to check when you are looking for network reliability. Larger bandwidth providers can move data much faster and more reliably than lower-tier providers.

  9. Metered Vs. Unmetered Bandwidth This is another very crucial factor that should not be overlooked. Media files consume way much more bandwidth than text files. Streaming videos consumes the most significant amount of bandwidth. In case of metered bandwidth, if you use more than the share of bandwidth that has been allocated to you, you usually have to pay an additional fee, which is often substantial. When it comes to unmetered bandwidth, you can deliver as much data using your network connection as it is capable of transferring. In it you will never have to pay an overage fee for sending too much data. Whether you opt for a metered or an unmetered network connection will depend on how much data you expect to send. If you plan to send a lesser volume of data then a metered network interface is a more economical choice. On the other hand, if you anticipate that you will exceed your bandwidth limit regularly or you are aware that your bandwidth requirements are unpredictable, then an unmetered connection is a better option for you. 

  10. Storage Options Media files are known to consume a lot of storage space. Hence, a media streaming server must provide enough storage capacity along with sufficient read speed to minimize latency. The type of storage medium and how data is organized for reliability and redundancy, are the major factors to consider when it comes to opting for a suitable storage option. A reliable media streaming host will guide and help you to choose the right storage and redundancy solution for a particular application.

  12. Management Services Almost all of the best web hosting service providers offer flexible management servers. These servers range from unmanaged to fully managed with the provision of custom plans whenever there is a need. A media streaming server requires setup and configuration as well as constant updates along with maintenance. If your enterprise can invest time, money, expertise and effort to manage your servers, then you can opt for an unmanaged service. Otherwise, you must avail the efficient management services that are offered by hosting service providers for this purpose.

  13. Conclusion When it comes to choosing your Media Streaming Host, you must weigh all the pros and cons and consider the factors that will impact the success of your media streaming in the long haul and accordingly select that hosting service provider that will suit your needs the best.
