Answers.Body: <p>Wowza Media Server on Amazon EC2 is a really cost-effective way to do it, it's very popular among churches because of its on-demand nature and low cost. You spin up the server when you need it, pay a small hourly charge for it, pay for the bandwidth used, and shut it down. </p>

Answers.Body: <p>bandwith is the only expensive thing in this setup. Setting up a streamingserver like wowaza or nginx and stream the data there is no big deal. but if you expect a greater amount of viewers you might think of a "small cdn" setup to distribute it.</p>
  
  <p>since you wrote it's for a charity I would suggest to ask some companies for a sponsoring or special rates.</p>

  I'm currently working with a charity that broadcasts our event to the web. The event is about a week long (24 hrs per day), and gets in excess of 2000 viewers at times during the stream.
  
  I am wondering what the best free/low cost option is for streaming to the web that presents no ads to the viewers?
