Each server of the server network commu- nicates with the remaining servers and monitors corresponding performance criteria of a dedicated server of the server network to define a hosting capacity for the dedicated server. The hosting capacity is communicated to the remaining servers and the servers cooperatively assess the corresponding hosting capacities from the monitoring servers to determine a potential hosting server having a first hosting capacity and the remaining servers having second hosting capacities. The potential hosting server, in response to a hosting request, is placed in communication with an image capturing device that delivers the live video feed. The hosting server places the image capturing device in selective communication with the potential hosting server to deliver the live video feed to the customer terminal to define an active hosting server.
