The 10G edge: Zen 5, 128 GB and NVMe cache behind an unmetered 10 Gbps port.
Streaming & CDN servers. Push petabytes, pay the same.
Video, live relays and large downloads are bandwidth businesses. An unmetered 10 Gbps port can move more than 3 PB a month at a flat price — no per-GB egress, no surprise invoice after a viral day.

What this workload needsWorkload profile
- Flat-rate bandwidthCloud egress typically costs $0.05–0.09 per GB. At 1 PB a month that is tens of thousands of dollars; here it is included.
- Fast cacheHot segments and popular files belong on NVMe, which serves thousands of concurrent readers without seeking.
- Cores for packagingPackaging, TLS and on-the-fly remuxing need CPU; transcoding needs a lot of it. 16 Zen 5 cores handle both for a busy edge.
- Peering-rich citiesAmsterdam, Frankfurt and New York are among the best-connected internet hubs in the world.
Best dedicated servers for streaming & CDN
Chosen by the engineers who size these workloads every week. Every one of them is in stock.
Origin for large libraries: 128 TB of disks with NVMe cache, feeding your edges.
Transcoding farm: 48 cores; add a 10 Gbps port in Amsterdam, Frankfurt or New York.
How to set up a server for streaming & CDN
The first hour on a new server decides how the next year goes.
Where to host it
Amsterdam, Frankfurt and New York offer 10 Gbps ports. Pair a European and an American edge for global audiences.
Compare latency from your users- Enable BBR congestion control (
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr) for long-distance viewers. - Serve HLS/DASH segments from memory or NVMe with nginx or a dedicated cache; keep the origin separate.
- Use several edges in different cities behind DNS-based routing for resilience.

Questions about streaming & CDN
Customers ask the engineers who run the servers, in a ticket from the client area — median first reply under 15 minutes, 24/7.
How support worksIs 10 Gbps really unmetered?
Yes. We do not count your traffic, cap it or apply a ratio. You can run the port at line rate around the clock.
Can I upgrade an existing server to 10 Gbps?
Yes, on any 1 Gbps model in Amsterdam, Frankfurt or New York, for $264 a month.
Do you offer more than 10 Gbps?
25 Gbps ports are available as a custom build in the same cities.
