Payload Video Hosting in Europe
Videos are core to modern digital experiences. Ignite lets you host them at scale and plug them straight into Payload – via plugin or API. Stable, performant, and GDPR-compliant.
With us, you're in good company. Brands and companies that already trust us:
Built for headless workflows.Made in Europe, optimized for Payload, designed for developers.
Regular uploads slow down your server and overload your hosting. External platforms like YouTube pull visitors away from your site. With Ignite you get reliable hosting and optimized streaming that integrates seamlessly into Payload. You control everything via API or plugin and keep full ownership of your content – without detours.
Hosting from Europe, built for Payload
Our infrastructure delivers smooth streams – whether for autoplay experiences with thousands of visitors or long-form video content in the highest quality. We rely on infrastructure and hosting in Europe.
API-first integration with plugin for Payload
Ignite integrates seamlessly into headless setups: with our plugin videos are easy to embed, and you can automate workflows without friction.
Directly in the Payload admin
Work where your team works: paste a URL or ID, see the preview, adjust options – without media bloat or context switching.
Performance without overhead
Encoding, transcoding and delivery run on our video infrastructure. Payload stays lean, pages stay fast – even under heavy traffic.
4K HDR video quality, anytime and anywhere
Whether on mobile or a 4K screen: streams automatically adapt to bandwidth and device and start instantly – without stutter.
First-party video hosting for more visibility
Traffic stays with you: videos run under your domain, and search engines assign the content to your site – not to an external platform.
Full control over design & player
Customize colors, controls and branding as you like. The player can stay subtle in the background – or be as present as you want it to be.
So everyone really sees your videos
You built a lean video setup – only to complicate it with two-click solutions because Vimeo or YouTube can’t be embedded without cookie consent? #Shit
Ignite works entirely without tracking cookies or third-party scripts. This makes integration easier and saves endless discussions with data protection officers.
Transparent pricing with flexible terms
Get started entirely on your own. We keep pricing transparent: you get video hosting features usually reserved for enterprise customers.
We are Payload natives
Our own site and the Ignite app are built on Payload. We know the strengths – and the pitfalls. That’s why you can hit us with all your Payload questions.
