At Hosting Marketers, we’re proud to work alongside innovative partners who share our vision of faster, more reliable, and more accessible streaming technology. One of those partners, Red5Server, has just announced a major performance upgrade that pushes dedicated streaming servers to a new level.
Every Red5Server dedicated plan now includes NVMe SSD storage and 10 Gbps network ports, providing clients with lightning-fast data access, lower latency, and the kind of bandwidth that professional broadcasters and developers rely on. Even better, all servers now come with Wowza Streaming Engine free of charge, making it easier than ever to deploy RTMP, HLS, or adaptive streaming setups right out of the box.
Why NVMe SSD storage changes everything
NVMe, or Non-Volatile Memory Express, is the newest generation of solid-state storage technology. Unlike older SATA SSDs, NVMe drives connect directly to the server’s PCIe bus, eliminating bottlenecks and drastically reducing latency. For streaming workloads, that means:
-
Instant file access and faster caching for live feeds and VOD content
-
Better performance during transcoding and thumbnail generation
-
Greater stability when serving large libraries to hundreds or thousands of viewers
The jump from traditional SSDs to NVMe is not just a small upgrade — it’s a complete change in how data flows between storage and processor.
The power of 10 Gbps network ports
Network speed is as critical as storage when it comes to consistent, high-quality streaming. Red5Server’s decision to roll out 10 Gigabit-per-second ports across its dedicated infrastructure ensures that clients can maintain smooth playback, even under heavy load. Multiple simultaneous HD or 4K streams can run without buffering or packet loss, and traffic spikes are handled seamlessly.
This kind of bandwidth also future-proofs streaming operations. As audiences shift to higher bitrates, HDR content, and multi-camera live events, a 10 Gbps backbone keeps performance stable and scalable.
Free Wowza for every dedicated server
Each new dedicated plan now includes Wowza Streaming Engine — pre-installed and configured at no extra cost. Wowza is one of the industry’s most trusted streaming solutions, known for its compatibility with RTMP, HLS, MPEG-DASH, and adaptive protocols.
With Wowza included, Red5Server clients can:
-
Start live broadcasting within minutes
-
Manage transcodes and playlists through a user-friendly control panel
-
Monetize with VAST or VMAP ad integration on supported players
-
Stream confidently using enterprise-grade reliability
This all-in-one approach makes Red5Server’s dedicated plans ideal for professional broadcasters, educators, and app developers who need both speed and simplicity.

At Hosting Marketers, we see this upgrade as a clear reflection of our joint commitment to helping creators and companies deliver flawless streaming experiences. Our brands share the same mission — to make high-quality live and on-demand streaming available to everyone, from small start-ups to established media platforms.
