Solutions · Streaming & CDN
Streaming and CDN servers. Terabytes out, zero traffic bill.
Video delivery, live streaming and download mirrors live or die on bandwidth cost. Every PowerDedi server has its own 10 Gbps port, unmetered: the price stays the same whether you push 5 TB or 500.

Why PowerDedi
Built for sustained, heavy traffic.
Flat cost per serverNo per-GB egress, no 95th-percentile billing and no ratio. Your bandwidth bill is part of the server price.
10 Gbps per serverAround 1,300 simultaneous 1080p viewers per server at 80% of line rate, before any caching tricks.
Close to your viewersTen cities in Europe, North America and Asia, so edges sit near the audiences that matter.
Encode on CPU or GPURyzen and EPYC for x264, x265 and SVT-AV1; NVIDIA GPUs with NVENC for dense hardware transcoding.
Sizing
Viewers per 10 Gbps server.
How many simultaneous streams one server can deliver at 80% of its port speed. Adaptive bitrate ladders mix these rates.
| Stream | Bitrate | Viewers per server |
|---|---|---|
| Audio (AAC / Opus) | 128 kbps | 62,500 |
| 720p | 3 Mbps | 2,650 |
| 1080p | 6 Mbps | 1,300 |
| 1440p | 10 Mbps | 800 |
| 4K (HEVC or AV1) | 16 Mbps | 500 |
Calculated at 8 Gbps (80% of line rate), rounded down. Real capacity also depends on disk and cache hit ratio, TLS overhead and the routes to your viewers.
Bandwidth cost
What your traffic would cost at cloud list prices.
Move the slider to your monthly traffic. Hyperscaler egress is billed per gigabyte; here it is part of the server price.
- Cloud egress at list price
- $16,686/moHyperscaler internet egress, billed per GB
- Average bandwidth
- 0.77 GbpsPeaks are usually 2–3× the average
- Traffic cost at PowerDedi
- $0/moFits on one 10 Gbps server, from $55/mo
Cloud figure: AWS internet egress list prices for us-east-1 (first 100 GB free, then $0.09 down to $0.05 per GB), checked September 2026. Server count assumes a 60% average load on each 10 Gbps port to leave room for peaks. Large CDN contracts can cost less than list prices.

FAQ
Streaming & CDN: questions, answered.
Still have a question? Customers with an active server get answers from engineers in a support ticket.
Support ticketsIs there really no traffic limit?
There is no quota, no overage fee, no 95th-percentile billing and no inbound/outbound ratio. Your 10 Gbps port is yours alone; beyond it, uplinks are shared as on any network. What unmetered means here
Can I build my own CDN across several cities?
Yes. Deploy edges in any of our ten locations and steer users with GeoDNS or anycast from your DNS provider. Each server keeps its own unmetered port.
Can I stream content I don’t own the rights to?
No. You may only distribute content you have the rights to. We forward valid infringement notices to you, and repeated or unresolved infringement leads to action under our Acceptable Use Policy.
What about DDoS attacks on streaming endpoints?
Network-level (L3/L4) mitigation is always on and included. HTTP-level floods need application-side protection such as rate limiting or a reverse proxy. How our DDoS protection works
Can I get more than 10 Gbps on one server?
Not on one server: each has its own 10 Gbps unmetered port. Most streaming setups scale better by adding servers in more cities.
