What is an OTT Streaming Platform?

OTT (Over-The-Top) streaming delivers video content directly to viewers over the internet — over the top of traditional cable, satellite, or broadcast television infrastructure. Services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video are OTT platforms at the enterprise scale. But with Shoutcast Net, you can run your own OTT service for any niche, community, or industry at a fraction of the cost.

An OTT platform combines three core components: a streaming server to ingest and transcode your content, a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to deliver it to viewers globally, and a player/interface for viewers to watch on any device. Shoutcast Net provides all three — pre-integrated, fully managed, with 24/7 support. Compare that to Wowza's approach, which requires you to assemble these components yourself and pay separately for each.

Live OTT Channels

Broadcast 24/7 linear TV channels like a real TV station. Schedule content, loop programming, insert live events. Your own internet TV channel, live every day.

Video On Demand (VOD)

Build a video library that viewers access anytime. Movies, courses, documentaries, archives. Premium content stored and served globally via CDN.

Pay-Per-View Events

Monetize live events by selling access. Set pricing, handle payments via Stripe/PayPal, deliver securely. One event can pay for your entire year of hosting.

Who Uses OTT Streaming Platforms?

From niche content creators to full broadcast networks — OTT is for anyone who wants to own their streaming future.

OTT Platform Pricing: Shoutcast Net vs Wowza

Wowza's OTT platform billing is complex and expensive. Shoutcast Net keeps it brutally simple.

Wowza OTT Platform
$149
one-time purchase = just 15 streaming hours
500 viewing hours
  • $2.50 per streaming hour after that
  • $0.10 per viewer hour — adds up fast
  • Complex billing, surprise invoices
  • Technical setup overhead
  • Premium support costs extra
Example: 100 viewers × 2 hours = $20 in viewer fees alone. Every week. That's $80+/month just in viewer fees, before streaming costs.
Shoutcast Net OTT Platform
From $8
per month — flat rate, fully managed
no per-viewer fees ever
  • Unlimited streaming hours included
  • No per-viewer fees — ever
  • Simple flat monthly pricing
  • Zero server management needed
  • 24/7 expert support included free
Same example: 100 viewers × 2 hours/week = still just your flat monthly rate. No surprise bills. Ever.
