starfish Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I have a couple of questions about this. 1. Websites like twitch.tv all had to start somewhere, so I was wondering how something like this would be done by today's standards. I currently have a webhost godaddy.com, but I'm still learning. My account is shared webhosting, so I would assume I would need a dedicated server? I'm also assuming that the bandwidth cost would be catastrophically high. Can someone explain how a smaller site like that could be setup in a sensible way. I don't mean web development information, but what components I would need and if these things are available as open source. 2. For personal streaming. If I have a shared webhost. Is it possible to setup my own stream to my own website? Would I still need a dedicated server? My extent of knowledge is a little web programming, but I have never seriously adiminstered a website, so I have not done anything remotely similar. 3. Where can I find further info on this. What should my google search look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I think that Adobe Media Server is still fairly popular, but there are other streaming servers out there. Wowza is one example of a service that you could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
