MEDIASERVE's flash streaming services takes advantage of the ubiquitous Adobe® Flash Player, which enjoys an incredible 99% market penetration. This means your potential audience is far greater than what is possible with any other streaming media format.

Below is an example of embedded flash streaming - using a sports video called "Extremists", a demo video supplied by Wowza Media. (Click the triangular play button in the middle of the player to start play, then be sure and explore the player options and skip around the timeline to see how quickly the player and streaming responds.)

Our flash streaming service is built on Wowza Media Server Pro - the winner of Streaming Media Magazine's 2008 Reader's Choice Award for Server Hardware/Software, beating out Adobe's own Flash Media Server as well as Microsoft Windows® Media Server.

This plan combines traditional website hosting (identical to the Dedicated IP plan listed on our hosting plans page), with flash streaming. One of the biggest advantages of this approach is that you can provide true streaming of your media through the flash server, and if needed, downloading and or podcasting of the same source files over http - no more need to store the same media files twice, once on a streaming server for true streaming, and again on a website for downloading or podcasting.

Pricing starts at $19.95 for 10GB storage, 100GB monthly bandwidth/traffic, and 10 concurrent streaming connections with no bitrate limitations. Storage and bandwidth overage is billed automatically each month, and concurrent connections can be upgraded as needed. To estimate your streaming costs, please use our flash streaming calculator.

A variety of encoders are supported, as well as a variety of formats beyond Flash, including h.264 and MPEG-TS.
