Wowza Streaming Engine

Hello

Does Anyone here tried using wowza for live streaming purposes?.. I'm looking to try it sometime and want more suggestion from the community. I've only seen wowza hosting on Amazon,Azure,Google.. etc but those are kinda expensive.. i mean really expensive for a small business or individual.. I'm comparing it towards the offering of $42 per month, (Livestream LLC) 720p, Unlimited Traffic, Unlimited Streams, Unlimited Storage, etc.. can anyone give thoughts about this?.. The only thing i hate about the Livestream Fee for $42 is they don't allow live embedding.. and White Labeling. There is another plan that could do that but it's way to expensive around $200 ish... with few features added.. i'm afraid there's no sweet spot beyond that $42. That is why i'm looking for other alternatives like making my own Wowza Streaming Build ( A Server Running Wowza).. but the thing is i have a lot of speculation if it will work. I mean i can build it and install,.. but i'm afraid it would not deliver as promise due to our Internet Plans and i might go for a CDN to push the stream Globally. Our internet plan is 20Mbps Down.. 2-7 Mbps up.. if lucky..

Thanks

I had run Wowza on both Azure and AWS and I do like using it, however like you said the price is a bit expensive. 2-7Mbps UP is pushing it, as according to Wowza themselves, 1Gbps is the minimum. See this page. (I do not know if this is accurate.) Perhaps look at Wowza Streaming Cloud here.

Sure, I mainly run Wowza as a TV channel type thing where I have shows and (in development) people would be able to pay to have access. At the moment, however, it's just a test in development.
