Hi I have installed ant media locally on a virtual machine for testing. I was going to setup my server locally and allow people view from my local instance but Ant media support said better of with AWS or Vultr for banwidth reasons. I can use the 100 hours free per month for the Enterprise Licence. I am really confused about the pricing of AWS. I want a pay as you go setup as we will only be streaming events on occasions maybe once or twice every 2 weeks. There will be months where we will not be streaming at all. If the AWS server is not in use do I still get charged beacuse some of the prices on Vultr seem very high and I know Vultr charge even if VM is stopped. They reccommeded 16 or ideally a 32 Core CPU Optimized instance on Vultr. That is $380 per month on Vultr. Am I missing something? Does anyone else host their own media server or shuld I go with AWS.
