if i have a host

Slave-CI · 29th July 2005, 03:01

what else do i need to do to play a radio on the net? i just ordered unlimited slots for a server through serverroom and i was wondering if i even need to pay them if i have my own site and host?

if not what do i need to do to make shoutcast to work off of my host

on their site it says $32.99/Month so yes, you would have to pay them

ravetrax · 29th July 2005, 06:07

please note... things are not always as they seem...

32.99 gets you:
• 90 GB traffic <~ note this option
• Unlimited listeners
• Cluster Servers option
• $2.30 per 10GB of additional traffic
• 150 MB on-demand space

90gb is nothing when it comes to streaming media.

1 x 128k file per each 1.5 hour is about 90mb. so that times about 24 hours a day is going to be about 1.44gb per day. now by the average month there is 30 days... 43.2gb per month, so with that in mine, you can broadcast to about 2 people all month before you start paying the extra BW fees.

now keep in mind this was a rough estimate, but i think it shows my point.

you would have to pay them every month and they will be able to support you,

although they have been a topic of conversation round here before

@Rob

if everybody who falls for that crap came around at your place and you would serve them all a cup of coffee, you would need a truckload.

Interesting to see how they would actually set the config to allow 'unlimited' listeners.

Never tried it myself, but I would say thats impossible...

My 10 slot server can handle unlimited listeners. It just doesnt let more than 10 listeners on at once. ;-)
