shoutcast hosting

Hi,

I'm lookin for a cheap shoutcast hosting.

People recommend streamguys but they are too expansive (100 listeners with 128 kbps = 400$us monthly!!!)

Why that expansive?


Thank you,

Patrik

Those two hosts are not nearly of the same caliber. They cater to two different markets as well.

Find a host that is a good balance of price vs quality. Unfortunately in the streaming market, below certain rates you definately get what you pay for.

http://shoutcast.serverroom.us/ is not cheaper. 128k @ 4.25/listener monthly for 100 listeners makes them more expensive than streamguys.

Follow nick@ss' advice. Good options at http://www.radiotoolbox.com/hosts

Why not try http://www.spam.com ? Their rates are quite low.

Why did you resurrect a thread from 2005 to post this information?
