Self-hosted TURN
You manage server provisioning, ports, TLS, credentials, DNS, monitoring, failover, global regions, capacity, and bandwidth surprises.
TURN server hosting
Managed TURN server hosting without running relay infrastructure yourself.
Self-hosting Coturn can work for prototypes. Production WebRTC needs global routing, DNS resilience, monitoring, credential management, bandwidth planning, and support. Xirsys packages that into a managed STUN/TURN hosting service.
Managed vs self-hosted
TURN hosting is more than putting Coturn on a VM.
A production relay layer needs to work when users are on mobile networks, corporate firewalls, VPNs, symmetric NATs, and locked-down Wi-Fi. Xirsys handles the operational layer so product teams can focus on the application.
Xirsys TURN hosting
Xirsys provides global STUN/TURN access, API and static credentials, dashboard analytics, production support, and plans sized around relayed bandwidth.
Good for prototypes
A single VM can be enough for controlled tests, local demos, and narrow internal use cases.
Built for production
Production plans add global relay access, high-availability routing, unlimited STUN, and operational tooling for real customer traffic.
Common hosting questions
What managed TURN hosting should solve.
Do I need TURN if my servers are already in the cloud?
Often, yes. TURN helps when client networks cannot establish direct peer paths. A public cloud server does not remove restrictive client-side NATs, proxies, firewalls, or UDP-blocking networks.
Is TURN server hosting the same as WebRTC media hosting?
No. TURN relays connectivity fallback traffic. It does not replace your media server, SFU, SDK, app backend, or AI agent runtime.
How should I estimate hosted TURN bandwidth?
Start with expected sessions, stream type, duration, and estimated relay percentage. Use the Xirsys calculator to size production plans around TURN-relayed traffic rather than every WebRTC session.
