Video-Hosting for Developers

Managed video hosting on European servers. Upload, encode, embed, and control playback through a clean REST API. Or skip the API and embed with a single snippet. No infrastructure to maintain, no compliance back-and-forth with legal.

What developers need from a video hosting platform.Efficient workflows, clean APIs, and less complexity.

You are evaluating a video hosting service for a project. Maybe your marketing team asked you to find something GDPR-compliant. Maybe you are building a knowledge base, a SaaS product, or a customer portal that needs embedded video. Maybe you are tired of maintaining a self-hosted FFmpeg pipeline.

What matters: a clean API, predictable behaviour, decent docs, no proprietary SDK that locks you in, and no infrastructure to babysit. Bonus if the platform handles the GDPR conversation for you.

  • Zero infrastructure to maintain

    Hosting, encoding, TLS, CDN delivery, storage, and scaling are all handled. Whether a video gets 10 views or one million, the platform delivers without configuration changes. You do not provision servers, manage bandwidth, handle cache invalidation, rotate TLS certs, or wake up when storage hits 90 percent.

  • The compliance shortcut

    Ignite sets no cookies. No consent banner requirements for video playback, no CMP configuration, no conditional loading based on consent state, no two-click wrapper. From an implementation perspective, this is the fastest path to embedding GDPR-compliant video. Your marketing lead and your DPO will both care about this.

  • A clean REST API with webhooks

    The REST API covers uploads, metadata, categories, tags, encoding, player configuration, and AI features. Bearer tokens with scoped permissions, no OAuth. Different webhook events notify your system in real time. CDN Security adds time-limited signed tokens.

  • Built-in encoding pipeline

    Upload a video file in any common format. Ignite handles transcoding into multiple resolutions, generating thumbnails, preparing HLS streams for adaptive bitrate delivery. The pipeline runs on European servers. No FFmpeg containers to maintain, no encoding queues to monitor, no storage to provision.

    Simplified workflow for HLS-Streaming
  • First-party hosting on your own domain

    Serve videos, thumbnails, subtitles, and the player itself under your own subdomain (e.g. videos.yourapp.com). Eliminates third-party domains in the browser's network tab, removes a common security-review flag, prevents ad-blocker interference. Setup is a CNAME and a config update.

  • Flexible trial periods for your projects

    Agencies and complex setups don’t always fit into a 14-day window. That’s why we offer extended trial periods on request – sometimes right up to go-live. This gives you the time to integrate, test, and work with Ignite in a real project environment.

One tool, many perspectives.

You are evaluating the tool, and in many teams you are not the only one looking at it. You assess technical fit, your marketing lead checks branding, your founder, or project manager weighs the business case, and your DPO reviews the data processing setup. Here are the pages that help each of them see Ignite in their language.

  • Share the marketing perspective

    Cookie-free visibility, brandable player, anonymised analytics: the arguments that matter to the person holding the budget.

  • Share the pricing page

    Transparent pricing, no hidden costs, no per-view charges. Plan tiers laid out without sales-call gating.

  • Share the IT and privacy page

    Data flow, sub-processor list, DPA references. Written in DPO language.
