A relay that doesn't fail mid-stream
Streaming simultaneously to Twitch, YouTube and TikTok from a gaming PC means sharing upload bandwidth between the game and three encodings. A VPS relay elegantly solves this: your PC sends a single RTMP stream to the VPS, which duplicates and redistributes it to every platform. Your home connection only sees one stream; your viewers see you everywhere.
Bandwidth: the lifeblood
Three 1080p60 outputs at 8 Mbps = 24 Mbps constant, not counting spikes. On a VPS with 100 shared Mbps, you're at 25% permanent saturation — with the bottlenecks that implies at peak hours. Our guaranteed 10 Gbps absorbs these flows without latency moving a millisecond. One streaming customer sustained 6.8 Gbps during an event with zero packet loss.
nginx-rtmp or SRS?
For simple restreaming, nginx-rtmp + FFmpeg suffices and configures in 30 minutes. For multi-platform with transcoding (vertical TikTok from a horizontal stream), SRS or OvenMediaEngine offer more flexibility. 1080p→720p transcoding consumes about one fast vCore per stream — hence the value of high-frequency Ryzen 9.
Recording and VODs
Record your lives locally while relaying: NVMe Gen4 writes an 8 Mbps stream without blinking while serving redistribution. A Quantum (400 GB) stores about 200 hours of 1080p VOD.
Latency and location
Place the relay closest to your target platform's main ingest point: Paris/Frankfurt for Twitch Europe (ingest in Paris), New York for Twitch US East. Our latencies to major ingests are under 15 ms in Europe.
