Offshore Stream-1 — DMCA-resilient hosting

Roughly 250 simultaneous HD streams (4 Mbps each) on the 1 Gbps line, or 1,000 SD streams. Transfer allowance (25 TB/month) supports continuous 1 Gbps for ~58 hours/month, or sustained 50% utilization round-the-clock.

Yes. Cloudflare Stream, BunnyCDN, and any S3-compatible CDN edge work cleanly. For volume operators, dedicated egress pricing with our CDN partners is available on request.

RTMP is the ingest protocol (encoder → server) and works for low-latency live streaming. HLS is the distribution protocol (server → viewer) and is what most players consume. NGINX-RTMP handles both: RTMP in, HLS out, with adaptive bitrate ladders configured at ingest.

FFmpeg uses AMD EPYC's AVX2 / AVX-512 instructions for accelerated software transcoding on our streaming plans. For dedicated GPU transcoding (NVENC, AV1), provision a GPU server and run FFmpeg with NVENC-enabled builds.

Legitimate IPTV (community channels, original programming, properly-licensed reseller arrangements) runs without restriction. Distribution of pirated channels is grounds for termination. Substantiated rights-holder complaints with specific channel identification go through our documented escalation procedure.

Permitted in the same way as general streaming, with the additional compliance requirements documented on the adult-content use case (2257 record-keeping, age verification per target jurisdiction). The technical posture is identical.

Yes — Stream-1 runs on KVM with full kernel isolation. Custom modules (WireGuard, ZFS, Docker, nested virtualization) all work without configuration tweaks.

Stream-1 auto-provisions in under 60 seconds for crypto-paid orders. SSH keys submitted at checkout are pre-installed in the OS image; the first email contains the IP, hostname, and root credentials.

Full refund within 7 days of provisioning, no explanation required. Crypto refunds settle within hours; cards take 5–10 business days through the issuing bank.
