Hello Abouldin,

Here is an article telling you more about the Flash technology used for live and on demand streaming: http://www.thehdstandard.com/hd-streamin...ing-flash/ .Basicly this will be the hosting part but you also need to think about the solution which allows you to stream your content.
About the CDN: the idea of a CDN is to take the uploaded files, and distribute them to servers around the world, so when a file is requested it is served from the nearest/lowest latency server. The secondary benefit is that this also offloads some of the processing power from your server, to an entire network of servers - whose whole purpose is to serve your files as quickly as possible.
