IP Restrictions for Streaming Services

This article aims to provide clarity on the use of IP addresses from Dedicated Server and Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting with various streaming services. It addresses common questions from customers considering using these IPs for accessing platforms such as Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and others.


Key Points

1. Streaming Service IP Restrictions: Most streaming services implement strict measures to block access from server-based IP addresses. This includes IPs from both Dedicated Servers and VPS.

2. Limitations of Dedicated Server and VPS IPs: We cannot guarantee that IP addresses provided with our Dedicated Servers or VPS hosting will be functional for streaming services.

3. Intended Use of Server IPs: The IP addresses from Dedicated Servers and VPS are primarily designed for hosting websites, running applications, or for specific business/personal projects, rather than for accessing geo-restricted streaming content.


Recommendations

> Use of Residential IPs: For uninterrupted streaming, it is recommended to use residential or ISP-provided IP addresses, which are generally not subject to the same level of restrictions as server-based IPs.

> Adherence to Terms of Service: Customers are advised to respect the terms of service of streaming platforms, which often include clauses about the permissible types of IP addresses for access.


Conclusion

Dedicated Server and VPS hosting offer a range of functionalities for various digital needs. However, accessing streaming services is subject to restrictions and may not be feasible with server-based IPs. We urge our customers to consider these limitations when planning their server and VPS usage.
