Actionstream: Broadband Hosting Services

Webcast hosting solutions

Actionstream offer broadband, midband and narrowband hosting for Windows Media, Real Media and QuickTime at exceptional rates.

In order to achieve an extremely high standard of delivery we use groups of high-performance servers configured in clusters with load balancing. These are dedicated to streaming media delivery and connected to the Internet with over 8Gb of bandwidth.

This means that we can offer you the ability to reach almost any size of audience. Our flexible hosting plans cater for small and large requirements and represent exceptional value for money. The servers are configured to use protocol roll-over which allows streaming media to pass through most firewalls.

We offer a range of Digital Rights Management (DRM) and pay-per-view options in addition to the ability to set upper limits both on the number of simultaneous users and on total bandwidth utilization. This allows you to define and control access and costs when necessary. The control panel option gives access to live bandwidth usage in real time as well as full user statistics updated every 24 hours.
