Default Need to install a service on a server, what can I get?

So I have a website that requires a service be installed on the server (Wowza media server). I'm just not sure what I need to be able to do this. The service will get little use overall, but it is required.
From what I can tell this means I need some form of dedicated server, but that is an awfully large jump in cost when I get minimal use out of the service. That said, if it is the only option I will go for it.
So my question is, are there any options aside from dedicated servers that would let me install a service? If not, how cheap do you think I could get a dedicated server for?
Thanks

Well from you hosting requirements, it seems you wish to have a server for online video streaming. We always recommend a dedicated server for video streaming purpose.
However, depending on the number of videos and concurrent viewers, you can begin with a cloud server. As and when your requirements for resources increase, you can switch over to a dedicated server.

If you just want to install and test the interface of required application then you can consider our VPS hosting solutions (low end hosting) where you have full freedom to install custom applications and required softwares else we strongly recommend a dedicated server if you plan host an live video streaming application " Wowza Media"
Processing Video files requires huge amount of server resources like CPU,RAM,webspace etc... hence you will have to consider a high end dedicated server for optimum performance.

A Cloud server would be the best possible solution for you. You will get full administrator access over your Cloud server and hence you will be able to install the application you need. Also, it's not necessary to upgrade to a Dedicated server if the Cloud server fulfills your needs. You can simply upgrade the RAM, disk space, CPU resources or the bandwidth allocation of the server whenever required.

I won't recommend a VPS to you. Sooner or later you may need to upgrade to a dedicated server, it is better to have a basic dedicated server and you can increase resources as required. Media software's require good amount of resources you see, so it is better to start with a dedicated server.
