Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Servers99 Media Streaming
1 What does Unmetered Bandwidth mean?
At Servers99, Unmetered means you have no monthly data caps or overage fees. You can
utilize your connection, ranging from 1Gbps to 100Gbps at full capacity 24/7 without
being charged based on the volume of data (TB) you transfer. This is essential for
predictable billing on streaming services.
2 Do I need a GPU for my streaming server?
If you are just serving files (Direct Play), a strong CPU is enough. However, if your
users are watching on different devices (phones, TVs) that require the server to convert
the video format in real-time (Transcoding), a GPU is highly recommended to prevent
buffering.
3 Can I expand my storage later?
Yes. Media libraries grow fast. We suggest starting with a chassis that has empty drive
bays (hotswap) so we can add more Hard Drives (HDDs) to your server as your collection
expands.
4 Is this legal?
The software (Plex, Jellyfin, etc.) is 100% legal. However, you are responsible for
ensuring you own the rights to the content (movies/music) you are streaming. Servers99
respects DMCA regulations.
5 What is the difference between Plex and Jellyfin?
Plex is more polished and user-friendly but locks some features (like hardware
transcoding) behind a Plex Pass subscription. Jellyfin is free and open-source, offering
all features for free, but may require a bit more setup.
