Store, transcode and deliver videos yourself – ad-free, GDPR-compliant and without an algorithm dictating your reach.
Running your own video hosting service requires three things: plenty of storage, encoding power and affordable delivery.
Originals and renditions are stored in S3 Object Storage – infinitely scalable, versioned and accessible at any time.
Accelerate transcoding into multiple resolutions with GPU instances from €92.59 per month (billed by the hour) – booked solely for processing.
Free external traffic also makes it possible to forecast the performance of successful videos – no nasty surprises with egress costs after a clip goes viral.
Public, linked or for paying members only: policies and authorised access determine who is allowed to view content.
Uploads are stored in S3; an encoding job (GPU or Kubernetes) generates HLS renditions, and your website’s player streams directly from the bucket. Open-source solutions such as PeerTube can turn this into a complete platform if required.
Customers typically implement this use case using these building blocks – which can be combined and expanded at any time.
Platform-free video hosting: store and deliver videos in your own object storage – full control, fair traffic pricing. The cornerstone of the service is S3 object storage from €5.00 per month – billed by the hour, with no minimum contract term. This is supplemented, as required, by Cloud GPU and ccloud³ VMs. Operations are conducted exclusively in our own data centres in Germany – certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz, with an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certificate. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit.
