IRLHost vs IRLServer

Both IRLHost and IRLServer offer cloud-hosted SRT relay servers for IRL streamers. You point your encoder at the relay, it stabilises your connection, and delivers a clean stream to your OBS at home. Neither sends directly to Twitch or Kick — that is OBS's job.

The flow for both: Phone/encoder → Relay → Your OBS at home → Twitch/Kick

SRTLA bonding and H.265

Both services support SRTLA bonding, combining WiFi and mobile data connections for maximum stability. IRLHost is codec-agnostic and passes through H.265 streams without any configuration if your encoder supports it. IRLServer also supports SRTLA with their own custom optimisations for stream stability.

Hosting locations

IRLHost runs servers in Nuremberg (Germany), Helsinki (Finland), Ashburn (Virginia), Hillsboro (Oregon), and Singapore, all on 100% green energy.

IRLServer runs servers in Helsinki (Finland), Sandefjord (Norway), Chicago (Illinois), Hillsboro (Oregon), and Singapore.

Encoder compatibility

Both services work with any SRT-compatible encoder: Moblin, IRL Pro, Larix, Belabox hardware, OBS Studio, FFmpeg, and more.

Built-in features

IRLHost includes NOALBS-powered automatic scene switching, Twitch and Kick chat commands, real-time stream health monitoring, and IRLHost Link. IRLHost Link is a desktop app that runs on your home PC and lets NOALBS automatically control OBS, switching scenes, restarting on crash, and responding to chat commands, without any manual setup.

IRLServer includes NOALBS scene switching, drop protection, and a dashboard for managing and monitoring your endpoint. Chat commands are not listed as a feature.

Pricing

IRLServer is $9.99/month with SRTLA, NOALBS scene switching, drop protection, and unlimited bandwidth included.

IRLHost is €11.99/month + VAT with SRTLA, H.265, scene switching, Twitch and Kick chat commands, stream health dashboard, and IRLHost Link included.

Which should you choose?

Choose IRLHost if:

• You want Twitch and Kick chat commands built in

• You need a server in Germany or Ashburn (Virginia)

Consider IRLServer if:

• You specifically need a server in Sandefjord, Norway
