The Challenge: Low-Latency Live Streaming Without Paying a Fortune

Running a live streaming service (FFmpeg / HLS / DASH) means encoding multiple real-time streams, delivering to global users, and managing latency below 3 seconds.
Cloud giants charge per GB of outgoing traffic — making 24/7 streaming expensive and unpredictable.

Why SurferCloud for Real-Time Transcoding

The 16C 32G VPS ($68.9/mo) from SurferCloud is designed for high-performance video workloads. It delivers consistent CPU frequency, dedicated bandwidth (5/10 Mbps), and unmetered traffic — perfect for encoding multiple HLS or DASH streams simultaneously.

Why It’s Perfect for Streaming:

2. Install FFmpeg and SRS (Simple Realtime Server).
