I want to create a streaming to my wordpress, how to do that?

[Caspoor]

Without Youtube, twitch etc.

I see at OBS there's a "custom server" in the stream option. I want to do that.

I read about WpStream, but they are expensive, so I wonder if I can make this cheaper? There's several websites that provide RDP with unlimited bandwidth and high speed internet connection, I wonder if I can use them in creating a custom server and stream through OBS from them? because my own upload speed is not good.

I also have a VPS not sure how I can use it in all of this as well? would a VPS be enough? or RDP is better? or I should have both?

Can someone put me on the right track here please?

Cheers

RDP is just an protocol for remote control of visual desktops, not streaming at all.
Streaming providers are "expensive" due to their nature. To be honest you didn't sound like a nerdy, capable of programming languages, people. ;)

A VPS may be a starting point for an own rtmp or hls streaming server. And there are videos for such at Youtube. But the learning curve to this is a bit steep. Are you willing for such?

By the way: Your own upload has to be capable for your (single) upstream at least. If not, an own streaming server wouldn't help at all.

What are your experiences with YT streaming so far?

I will use the RDP for its speed internet connection.

The VPS for hosting the streams.

Am I wrong in this?

and yes I'm not by any means a coder. At first I thought it's a copy and paste thing (just for pulling this off obviously). I don't plan in becoming a coder lol

The VPS thing is clear. Don't know what you mean (and expect) regarding the RDP thing. You should have a clear picture in mind (at least) what should happen locally at your location and what on the remote (net) side.

Again: Did you got experience with YT and/or FB or twitch streaming? Its for nuts, to say so. Test streaming would gain your knowledge about the important things regarding streaming solutions.

You will have to... to a certain degree... at least...

If you find a car too expensive you will need knowledge about building cars if you want to build your own instead of paying the manufacturer.

The way you posted, seems to imply a desire to livestream, vs upload a video (at whatever pace) and have the streaming site (be that FB, YT, Twitch. or your own site) play "stream' that video at some point?

So, you need to think about your content source, and associated data path. For example, if you plan to use a video camera to include in the livestream, then you must have the bandwidth to send enough of that video to meet your resolution /quality expectations/requirements. At that point, whether using your own streaming (RTSP) server or one of the free ones won't make any difference. You still have to get the data from your site, over your upload connection, to the streaming server. Where a VPS might work is if you plan a small resolution/bitrate live camera view, and combine with high quality video that exists up in VPS.

On the other hand, if you don't need to be 'live' ie you record locally, edit if desired, then upload, then 'make public' once upload completes. This way, you still have to send the entire video file, but upload stream data rate consistency is a non issue.. you are just copying a file.
And beware terms of service, and charging rates, for various services. The big bold print of unlimited may only be for certain traffic types, but streaming wouldn't be included (ie such traffic would be tallied and charged for), similar as I'd expect if you tried to run a P2P setup (bitorrent or similar setup). And using a VPS as a streaming server may violate terms of service (from being a data consumer to a server, that would need to be open Internet reachable, which of course has security implications (and a typical no-no in managed desktop service environments)

And depending on your requirements, I'd suggest looking into how the RDP protocol functions and its design criteria. Streaming video is NOT what that protocol is design for (there are better options).
