YouTube Alternative for Businesses

Our adaptive streaming technology delivers crystal-clear videos that run smoothly on any device and at any bandwidth. Just like you know from YouTube, except that with us, you can influence the quality.

Hosting, encoding, and playout are all done on European servers. This also applies to the admin application for managing the videos.

GDPR compliant

Just like YouTube, but even better. Embed videos on your website effortlessly and with great flexibility. Choose from our easy-to-use, customizable embed player or integrate fully with our REST API for more control.

While most video platforms comply with GDPR, we take it a step further by eliminating all tracking & cookies. This spares you the hassle of dealing with GDPR complexities and the need for a two-click solution. With Ignite, embedding videos is straightforward, and you’ll even see significantly more views on your website.

Tired of discussions with your data protection officer? Ignite is the perfect solution for you. We prioritize 'Privacy-First' to let your business fully leverage the potential of your videos. Our architecture, tailored specifically for European requirements, has been reviewed by data protection experts and lawyers.

Our video player complies with WCAG and meets EAA requirements. It features simple controls, a clean design, closed captions, chapters, and much more. Everything is fully customizable to suit your needs.

Our platform seamlessly handles different formats, including vertical videos, ensuring they're displayed perfectly without any extra effort on your part.

Yes, YouTube is free. However, professional video hosting for businesses is an investment that pays off. We disclose our prices transparently, without requiring a sales call. With us, you get video hosting features typically reserved for large enterprise clients.

Naturally, your videos on Ignite are completely ad-free. With us, there are no ads. Ever. No ads before, after, or in-between—just your video, no distractions.

Ignite's video player can be fully customized to match your brand. You have complete control over the design, and we intentionally omit any Ignite logos.

Customizing the design in a YouTube player? It's challenging. Decorative or autoplay videos on YouTube are only possible with workarounds, which can be error-prone or not GDPR compliant. Ignite is fully customizable and imposes no restrictions on user experience.

YouTube videos on your website require explicit consent via the cookie banner. However, many of your visitors do not give this consent, especially during campaigns. This means your visitors only see the two-click workaround - not your video.

The primary goal of the YouTube player is to redirect your visitors to YouTube.com—away from your website. Once your visitors are there, you lose all control.

On your website, YouTube videos might be ad-free, but as soon as someone switches to YouTube.com, your visitors are bombarded with ads. Before the video. After the video. In the sidebar. Even ads from your competitors.

What happens when your video ends? If you're lucky, YouTube suggests one of yours. But you have zero control—the algorithm picks whatever gets the most clicks.

To YouTube, your visitors are the real customers—not you. Every video view on your site fuels ad profiles, so they can be targeted with ads (possibly from your competitors) later.

Every YouTube video on your site helps YouTube rank higher—not you. When people search, they end up on YouTube, not your site. And converting them there? Nearly impossible. Ignite keeps traffic where it belongs—with first-party hosting on your own domain (e.g., videos.yourURL.com).
