Hello, I just purchased the Wowza Media Server and currently have a dedicated server with GoDaddy. They were able to do the installation for FMS for a small charge, but apparently cannot do the same with Wowza. So, how exactly would I install it there? Their site isn’t particularly intuitive to use. I’m fairly computer savvy, but I’m definitely not a programmer by any means. Or would it be decently complicated and recommend that I hire someone for this specific task? I need this installed on my dedicated servers so that I can run Flashcoms community chat program on my site. Thanks for your time and any response is much appreciated, Alex ---

Do you have root access to the server at GoDaddy? If you do, you can follow installation instructions in the Quick Start Guide for your specific OS: [https://www.wowza.com/quickstart\_2\_1\_2.html#installation](https://www.wowza.com/quickstart_2_1_2.html#installation) You also will need to have Java installed, if not already installed on that server. We recommend installing the latest Java JRE from here: [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) We can also recommend a 3rd party consultant to help you. If you are interested please email sales@wowza.com and reference this post. ---

Thank you very much for the response. I’ll check it out and consider getting a 3rd party consultant. ---
