Custom Url Branding

All panels include 100% secure streaming. Certificate installation and renewal (if needed) is also part of the package and performed by a certified Hired Hosting expert.

Custom Url Branding is optional and highly recommended. Url will be tied to your own domain name by using either the A Record or CNAME method of DNS redirects. This method hides any mention of us and gives you a professional and custom listen link for your listeners and players. Better yet, as long as you remain the domain name owner, you can move your stream to any provider you like (although we hope you will always choose Hired Hosting). This method also helps us as the provider to always work hard to keep your business since you will no longer be tied and locked into our own Urls or IP addresses.

Hard Drives (HDD vs SSD)

Hired Hosting no longer offers or recommends using HDD (Hard Disk Drives) which have physical moving parts and a much higher failure rate vs Solid State Drives(SSD).

SSDs are 14 times as efficient compared to HDDs. The newer NvMe SSDs (New for 2023!) are even faster vs standard SSDs and are now offered as an option under server configuration section when placing an order for a Cloud or Dedicated Server
