THREETEN RADIO Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 No, you will not get free but there are some cheap ones about if you are not bothered about reliability. You can get really cheap but it will be @ 24kbps normally, not great for modern music! :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nad4321 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Then,if there isn´t free where can i find cheap but good ones?Or is there one in which you get points by doing thisng and exchange points for servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazin 97 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 There is no such thing. Because of bandwith costs. EZPZ Hosting used to offer a free 24K 10 slots one, I used it as my backup and low bitrate stream, but they cancelled the offer sometime in September. It sounded like crap anyways. As far as "Listen 2 My Radio" goes, I do not reccomend it one bit. People look at it one time and think it is a full and customizeable shoutcast server they are getting, but that is too good to be true, you get a shoutcast server that does not go into the shoutcast directory wich automatically chops your potential audience in half, and you have to listen to the stream thru a page on their website FULL of ads and you have to wait for a minute or two and watch popups while it "loads". Just shell out some money for a cheap server and you won't regret it. For dirt cheap prices I reccomend proradioserver, very cheap prices, alright service. You can negotiate even cheaper prices with the owner and manager Angelo, thats what I did with him over the phone and now i have a 128K with 25 slots for only $6.25 a month!!!

THREETEN RADIO Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 The first link is very similar to listen2myradio which we all know is useless and the site is not complete by Sep 2008 as it says so best forget that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JunaWeb Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 The others are right about "no free lunch" thing but there are ways to set up shoutcast on your home computer and run it for free, but it is highly unlikely that you will be providing great quality listening service to your listeners because residential internet won't have nearly as much juice as the industrial ones.

Punk101 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I found myself a free host....but the company sponsored my radio station. So if you can get a sponsor, you can find free hosting. If you do want a reliable, cheap host try http://www.undergroundhosting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwdservices Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 If you do want a reliable, cheap host try www.undergroundhosting.com Gee, what a great website.... You're not supposed to judge a book by its cover but I can't help admitting that that site is terrible and doesn't make me think that their service is any better....

BWorld Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have to agree with Karl on that one. We use WHMCS, but it is only for our client area. You cant use WHMCS as your website. Plus, they only changed the logo, and thats as custom as it got. ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?
