Wowza Hosting and Streaming Video
Our Wowza Hosting and Streaming service combines video streaming via the Wowza Media Server with cPanel Web Hosting, giving you a flat rate 24/7 video streaming platform with the ability to also podcast or allow download of your media using the same source files. No more maintaining duplicate media content on different services! Wowza streams to flash player, silverlight, iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry devices.
Our wowza streaming services are for use by Christian churches, ministries, music artists and videographers only. This service is designed to enable small to medium sized churches to effectively and affordably stream service live and on-demand to congregants who are homebound, out of town, serving in the military, or just interested in learning more about the church.

Maximum Reach
Today's online media consumers are just as likely to be visiting your website with a tablet or smartphone as with a traditional computer and web browser. Wowza Media Server provides native support for Apple iOS devices, Android and Blackberry, so you can accommodate your mobile viewers. The popular JW Player flash player has native iOS detection and support, and we provide sample players deployed to new service as well as knowledgebase articles with instructions for configuring JW player for both flash and iOS compatibility.
Usage Statistics
We record current streaming connection counts every single minute of every single day. Within your MediaServe online account you can view connection details and stay on top of concurrent connection trends. We even break it down by type of connection (flash, Silverlight, iOS, RTSP, etc.) For more detailed analysis of your streaming users, we offer an option Sawmill addon which provides a wealth of details about your streaming users.
Website Included
Occasionally we are asked why cPanel web hosting is bundled with our streaming services. This is due in large part to the fact that most of our streaming clients are churches who also want to podcast their video content as well as make it available via iTunes. The combination of web hosting services along with streaming gives you all the features of cPanel for uploading on-demand video content and password protecting content that shouldn't be downloadable. If you don't intend to host your website with us--we offer a free subdomain option during signup.
