A Begginer

Hi, i am just a begginer, and i dont know much about shoutcast, so i decided to lok for hosting, and i found one at $1.85/£0.99 per month with unlimited listeners and quality of your choice

Is that good, or is there anywhere i can get it cheaper?

Well, i looked at them, i can't see anything that beats it, so i guess that means go for it!? I Mean $1.85 per month for unlimited listeners and Bandwidth seems quite good for that price! My friend is with Rysin Online, and he likes it... so i think i will go fot it!

hope you are happy with a company that writes in their own disclaimer that their servers are not very reliable!!!

and btw you are a legal station ( you pay for playing copyrighted music)?
if not keep in mind that according to their rules they can kick you out anytime they like!!!! without a refund.

It seems quite reliable to me... i have contacted them and they Replied:

Thanks for your question, we are always happy to answer questions about our servers...

In the Terms of Service, it does indeed state we didn't claim that we were reliable. This comment will be deleted after March 1st. This part of the terms and conditions must be up for legal reasons, just until the server under-go's essential maintenance work.

Thanks for your comment!
