Evangelized network resells video streaming services to churches

Running a media server is expensive, especially for a growing service. As the number of churches grew, bandwidth consumption increased and quality of service increased. Maintaining and running the server was also resource-intensive, especially as each church had to have a static IP in order to communicate to the server. Consequently, live streaming was time-consuming, expensive and technologically difficult for the administration.

By signing up with Dacast, Evangelized Network solved these issues and was able to let their churches stream without quality degradation; furthermore, thanks to Dacast’s CDN connections with servers all over the world, Evangelized Network’s churches could now stream to any number of users without worrying if the server can handle it. In addition, thanks to simplifying the streaming process, Evangelized Network is able to cut costs while improving services, removing the need to pay for static IPs from their ISP.

Anastasios Kostalos from Evangelized Network says “Dacast’s service has been great. We are glad to be a part of it and share that service with our churches.” 

Ascending to partnership Shortly after signing up, Evangelized Network became a respected partner with Dacast, allowing Evangelized Network to manage individual accounts for each church to resell Dacast services with added value.

Ease of access, including live broadcasting with the click of a button, makes offering the service attractive and user-friendly to their churches. In addition, the ability to reach mobile devices introduces a first for many of the smaller, local churches.

Other than live streaming, churches are able to provide 24-hour TV on their websites through creating and managing playlists of video content.

“Being able to broadcast to mobile devices is a great advantage. For the first time, our local churches are able to afford such a service.”

Evangelized Network was created to provide its churches with low-cost website services. This includes basic web hosting and video streaming services. The mission of every church is to spread their beliefs to as many people as possible and Evangelized Network allows churches of all sizes to broadcast their views and open their doors to the world.
