About Primcast · the company, since 2004

About Primcast: prime hardware, cast into whole servers, since 2004.

Primcast LLC is a private hosting company registered in New York in 2004, run from Long Island City, with a European entity, Primcast Europe SRL, in Bucharest. It rents whole physical servers by the month from five rooms in the United States and Europe, on hardware it owns, in rack space it leases in other people’s buildings, and answers its own support desk at every hour. Streaming is a product line that runs on those servers; the servers are the business.

01

The name

Prime, plus cast. As in cast metal, not broadcast.

The company started in 2004 as a streaming host, so people assume the name is about broadcasting. It is about foundry work: enterprise hardware poured into the shape a workload needs and handed over entire, every core, all the memory, all the disks, root access and a remote console, with nobody else on the machine. A machine already racked is live about thirty minutes after an order is approved; one that does not exist yet is built to the shape you name.

Radio, video, video on demand and CDN are a product line that runs on those machines, and they have since 2004. The servers are the business.

The record

Only what we can date.

Every line below has a document behind it: a registration, a database row, a public file. The rooms opened one at a time over those years and get their own pages, not a guessed date here.

2004
Registered in New York. The primcast.com domain was registered on 2 March 2004, and the company’s start date on file with the Better Business Bureau is the same day. The first products were streaming ones: live video, transcoding and delivery for broadcasters.
2005
The oldest customer record still on the books. The earliest account in the current billing database was opened in June 2005; the oldest invoice we still hold is from December that year. We say “founded 2004” because the registrations say so, and “customers on the books since 2005” because the database does.
2009
Radio hosting, with Auto DJ. The Shoutcast and Icecast lines date from October 2009, and the free radio plan with them. Still the product with the most accounts on the books; still on the same machines as everything else. Radio hosting.
2016
A second company, in Bucharest. Primcast Europe SRL was entered in the Romanian trade register as J40/11011/2016. It invoices servers rented in Bucharest in euros, so an EU customer gets an EU supplier.
Today
Five rooms, one catalogue, the same desk. New York, Miami, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Bucharest. The longest-running live server on the books has been up 12 years; there are customers in 102 countries.

Two companies, one name

Who you are dealing with, and who invoices you.

Every customer deals with Primcast LLC in New York and is invoiced in US dollars, with one exception: a server rented in Bucharest is invoiced by Primcast Europe SRL, an EU supplier with a VAT number, in euros. Both are private companies; neither is listed, and neither has a publicly traded parent.

04

The floor

Our own hardware, in leased racks, in other people’s buildings.

Every server we rent is ours: bought, racked, cabled and maintained by Primcast, run at full load before it is sold, with its own management controller so the tenant can reach the console without asking us. Most of the fleet is HPE, in blade enclosures and cartridge chassis; the rest is Dell and Supermicro rack systems, and NVIDIA cards for the GPU lines. The racks and the buildings are not ours, and we say so: four of the five rooms are colocation space leased from Digital Realty and Iron Mountain, and only Bucharest is a room Primcast designed and built. Their certifications are theirs and are listed on each room’s page.

What we do not do is as fixed as what we do. We do not sell DDoS protection on any line. We do not put two tenants on one machine. And we do not print a server specification or a price on this page, because a company page should read the same on a full day and an empty one. The buildings, carriers and certifications.

05

The desk

Open at every hour, and it is ours.

Chat is answered around the clock: an assistant that can genuinely read your account and your server answers first, usually inside a minute, and a person takes over the moment you ask for one, at any hour. The median first reply measured in August 2026 was 37 seconds. The support line is answered 24/7 and is included with every server; it is the number the service agreement names.

+1-646-213-0346support · 24/7

Before an order, thirty minutes with a salesperson and a systems engineer on the same call, so nobody has to fetch anybody. Purchase orders, vendor onboarding, security questionnaires and NDAs go to the right desk the same day. Book the half hour. Every other number and mailbox is on the contact page; the channels, the hardware-replacement promise and the credit ladder are on the support page, which owns them.

The public record

Read about us somewhere we cannot edit.

A company page is the company talking. These seven are other people talking, and they are the same seven our structured data names, so nothing here contradicts the markup.

In short

The company in fourteen lines.

For the person skimming, and for the assistant answering on our behalf.

Does Primcast own its servers and data centers?

The servers, yes: every machine is Primcast's own, racked and maintained by Primcast, with its own management controller. The racks and the buildings are not: four of the five rooms are colocation space leased from data-center operators, Digital Realty in the United States and Iron Mountain in Amsterdam, and Bucharest is the exception, a room Primcast designed and built itself. The certifications on the room pages belong to the buildings.

How long has Primcast been in business?
