shoutcaststreaming Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Heard of them. They use FDC servers (in Chicago) with shared bandwidth. That is why the prices are so low.

THREETEN RADIO Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 At least there are buttons to click on now on that site....... No auto DJ system. Just another average host IMO, hardly worlds best! Quite new also it appears..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigloo Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 They use FDC servers... I use FDC servers as well as others. FDC is a crap shoot... sometimes they are spectacularly good, other times you want to kick them in the pants. I've stuck with them because they are low priced - in other words, you get what you pay for and if you don't pay a lot, then you cant really gripe too much if they go down. Is "MyShoutServer" the best? Hardly. They are probably no better than my own dedicated box at FDC. Much better providers out there. But if you are low on budget, myshoutserver may be the place for you (altho I know of someone who is probably cheaper and can give you the same reliability) ________ Lou Bigloo Christian Radio http://www/biglooradio.com/ digiSTREAM SHOUTcast Hosting http://www.digistream.info/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thanks for all your input. Its not a bad host but their claim to be greatest sounds like a 10 year old runs the company.

Exozito Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Well, I use it and have not encountered any problems so far. I don't really care what slogan they use, I'll use any server as long as it is cheap and reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyShoutServer Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 James, I find it quite odd that you didn't make fun of my website when you contacted me about advertising on your website. Let me set the record straight. I purchased this business roughly about 4 months ago now. The previous owner designed the website. I've been working on revamping the entire business (as Exozito can attest to). I started with FDC - it only took me a few weeks to realize the move was necessary. We currently have servers located at Steadfast in Chicago and Choopa out of New Jersey. Second was the control panel. We switched from Cast Control to Centova. I'm still working on migrating customers over. Next, I'm redoing the website and we'll be announcing a new name as well. "The world's best streaming provider!" wasn't my slogan. I simply acquired it with the business. When the new website is completed, you'll see it disappear. Though I personally don't claim to be the best, I'm working hard to provide my customers with quality servers and support. I definately believe I could give the other providers a run for their money. PS: I'll be registering on your "host submission form" shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THREETEN RADIO Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Centovacast is much better than cast control IMO, good move. Good to see you on here setting the record straight, it shows you are serious, the site and slogan was naff but it's not your doing and you are putting things right now you have taken over...good for you.

Centova is too junked up with stuff. Only reason I like Cast Control is because it is laid out simply and is easy to use. Also, you can't really customize the Centova template too much; whereas, with Cast Control you can literally do anything you'd like to the template.

horrorofzombie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hey guys, This is DJ JimBob the webmaster at HorrorOfZombie.com. I was just informed of this forum through a friend. I wanted to say that I personally have not had any problems with this streaming provider and they are really fast in answering questions that you may have. IMO the server is great for the low price and I would suggest it to anybody who would need a good quality host for a low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigloo Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Personally, I like CastControl, but it's all a matter of preference. ________ Lou Bigloo Christian Radio http://www/biglooradio.com/ digiSTREAM SHOUTcast Hosting http://www.digistream.info/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exozito Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 'Problem' solved. So, is it still the best in the world?:biggrinthumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyShoutServer Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 LOL, well it's one heck of a lot improved from what it was before I personally would never choose "the best" to be my slogan. That's just asking for it (as you can see from this thread). Maybe darn good? James: Contact me in Jan when you are ready to roll. You have my business.

alexr Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 No way you are keeping those prices at that at Steadfast and Choopa, we push plenty of traffic and no way we can get prices anywhere near what FDC can do. Can you clarify what you intend to do with the prices if you moved to those two host? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazin 97 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Lol I almost swapped SHOUTcast hosts to them a month ago, because their prices looked so good! I knew there had to be a catch and now that I hear there is no auto dj I am glad I didnt swap to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
