so the answer to my question is no

[drewbar]

Nope. Read it again.
If you have the bandwidth you can run the server on your own system.

[Nick@ss]

lol ok im assuming you read that little lot

the long and the short of it is

yes u can run a server with winamp/dsp/dnas
there can be a bit of a configuration involved
it depends on what connection you have as to how good the quality and amount of listners you have
if u need suport u can come here and ask how to and all these lovely people could provide the relevent info if your lucky or a good verbal beating!!

or

using a host
u only need to winamp and the dsp
not the dnas which most people fall down with using
you only need to push the feed for 1 listener to the host
so instead of splitting say your 128k between all your listeners ..... you can send them all your 128k feed and they will all get the 128k fed as the host manages the bandwith for you
support is at hand from the streamhost and any issues will be sorted pretty rapid as they wanna keep your custom
