Multi-Gigabit Global Content Delivery Network
Advection.NET operates streaming distribution server farms at core international network access points so your content is available at the same Internet hubs used by the viewer’s ISP. This means less buffering or wait time for your users.
At each location, we subscribe to Tier 1 bandwidth connected directly to multi-gigabit peering routers, instead of going through layers of second or third tier ISP’s and switches. Being directly on the Internet’s backbone bypasses the sources of congestion that can degrade streaming quality or make downloads take longer.
Secure Offsite Storage
When your company depends on streaming media assets for revenue, you need to protect those assets. If your company is public, you may even be required to store backups offsite. Because we’re able to put your media to work generating revenue through streaming and downloads, you can outsource your redundant media storage to Advection.NET for less than the cost of dedicated offsite storage companies.
Bulk DV/DVD Encoding and UGC Transcoding
Whether you’re new to online content or have been in the business for a decade, you may have a library of media that hasn’t been prepared for the latest high definition broadband or portable media devices. To get you started quickly, our high performance encoding server farm is set up to transcode digital video directly for streaming, downloadable, or portable media.
Flexible Rapid Application Development
Advection.NET has a large team of developers highly experienced in custom streaming and digital rights management software development for our clients. Whether you need to integrate media delivery with a web site built in PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby-on-Rails, or Java, and whether you host on proprietary platforms such as Solaris and Windows or on open source platforms such as Linux or FreeBSD, we can help at remarkably low costs.
We even offer pre-built media stores for various Windows Media playback devices, and streaming or digital rights management plug-ins for the leading server-side languages.
Complex or High Volume Hosting
Over the past decade, we have earned a reputation for handling extreme web hosting jobs requiring a dozen different types of servers across multiple datacenters, or supporting sites servicing the levels of traffic that can be generated by SuperBowl-sized events.
We can rapidly migrate all, or just portions, of your media-related e-commerce site onto our pre-deployed Windows or Unix server farms.
Buy Development and Support
Advection.NET offers highly competitive rates for media-centric software development. Pricing varies by project length with discounts for our VDN customers.

Affordable financial-grade performance and reliability are hallmarks of our web hosting services, specially tailored for content owners and media companies with unpredictable traffic volumes, complex hosting requirements, or a need for experts available 24/7.
Buy Online Video Delivery
Advection.NET's video delivery network was built for cost-effective performance, making the service ideal for very large sites, resellers, and aggregators.
Other big CDNs may charge "what the market will bear", but we publish attractive pricing for small and mid-size customers. For high volume customers, we offer flexible tiered pricing that's too low to show.
Buy Transcoding for Digital Video and UGC
You easily convert digital video for streaming, downloads, set top boxes, or portable media players by subscribing to Advection.NET’s high performance transcoding server farm.
This is a fast and inexpensive path to supporting user generated content (“UGC”) uploads or converting your own digital media for online delivery.
