Support ArticlesHow to Buy Video Bandwidth and Storage for Streaming on Dacast
Streaming and hosting videos on Dacast uses both data and storage. In order to generate an estimate of how much data you’ll need, we suggest checking out our bandwidth calculator.
In this post, we’re going to walk you through the process of buying extra data so that you never run out when you’re in need. Before we get started, feel free to check your remaining video bandwidth to see where your account stands.
How to Buy Bandwidth
On the left sidebar of your Dacast account, click Account > Plan > Additional Data & Storage. You will see the pricing indicated on a chart. The higher the bandwidth, the lower the price. Click on Purchase Data.
You should see a small window pop-up where you can select the amount of data you want to purchase and its total amount. Once you are satisfied with the amount of data, click “Next”.
The next step is to place your payment information, either credit card or Paypal. Please make sure that you accept the Terms and Conditions. Then finally click on Purchase.
