Hosting Requirements for Your Webcam Site

Understanding the right hosting setup is crucial for running a smooth and high-performing pay-per-minute webcam site. Below, we explain the different hosting types you’ll need and why choosing the right provider makes all the difference.

cPanel Hosting

cPanel Hosting

cPanel hosting is the foundation of your site, allowing you to run the Pay-Per-Minute Webcam Script. It provides essential web hosting features such as:

  • PHP and MySQL support
  • File management and domain control
  • SSL certificate setup
  • Email and DNS management

While cPanel hosting is necessary to run your website, it does not handle live streaming. For that, you need specialized WebRTC and STUN/TURN hosting.

STUN/TURN Hosting

STUN/TURN Hosting

STUN/TURN hosting is required to ensure seamless peer-to-peer video connections, especially for users behind firewalls or NAT (Network Address Translation). This type of hosting:

  • Ensures stable video/audio connections between users
  • Helps relay media when direct connections fail
  • Prevents disruptions caused by network firewalls

Without STUN/TURN hosting, some users may experience issues connecting with broadcasters. This is why it is a crucial addition for a fully functional webcam site.

WebRTC Hosting

WebRTC Hosting

WebRTC hosting is responsible for handling real-time video and audio streaming for broadcasters and members. Unlike traditional video streaming, WebRTC:

  • Enables direct, ultra-low-latency video chat
  • Doesn’t require third-party plugins
  • Works in all modern browsers
  • Supports peer-to-peer streaming

For professional-grade performance, WebRTC hosting is typically set up on a **dedicated server or VPS** running RTC libraries. This ensures stable, high-quality video connections between users.
