a) there's a difference between incoming and outgoing connections
b) also, just because the webhost has port restrictions don't mean the shoutcast host has restrictions
c) MOST cheap/free webhosts do not allow outgoing requests on "exotic" ports ... i.e. they will allow http(80), probably https(443), maybe ftp and maybe a few others
