DirtySouthRadio Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 why was my post moved this has nothing to do with djing or shows it has to do with streaming im moving back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 It has nothing to do with being a stream host mate, it was moved because it would get more views here. If you want it in the stream hosts section it is counted as spam and would have to be deleted sorry :( Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THREETEN RADIO Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 It's shocking the amount of stream hosts and server providers that state "unlimited bandwidth" when there is no such thing. On a 100Mbps port to yourself you would get approx 33000GB a month, push past that (as it seems you do) and you get problems. How I see it is you have 3 options, 1. You pay thousands of dollars for much more bandwidth, 2. You restrict your listener limit to within your bandwidth allowance (that's what I have done). 3. You just give it up (not a good option I know) Good luck with whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutish Sailor Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I know a couple of host that could help you. Just out of curiosity, how much are you looking to throw down on slots, and what bandwidth do you stream at. Their are TONS of solutions you could be using here. Just depends on how you want to do business. KNSJ.org / 89.1 FM San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySouthRadio Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 1. You pay thousands of dollars for much more bandwidth, thats money i dont even have ive spent over 100.000 in 8 years 2. You restrict your listener limit to within your bandwidth allowance (that's what I have done) whats the point of promoting buliding a brand to limit your self 3. You just give it up (not a good option I know) this probley going to be the best option for me if i cant find a sponcer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKIye Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think as webcasters WE all are in search for sponsors, however lots are just interested into the return of their efforts as sponsor and still think that the least financial input looks huge to a streaming project .. Please don't hate Me for this reply .. but I guess a project can become to big .. and yes its a shame to say that .. but fact is that when a project is receiving that much hits on the stream as owner you have to search for affiliated compagnies before it becomes to big Don't you have into your neighbourhood or friends somebody who's running a datacenter ? Maybe you can drop by and ask them if they are interested in the making of a collab ? It looks to Me also that the making of 5 times a 200 slots stream can work out to you .. this way you can get also 1000 listeners ... and if a stream is full they can connect to a second, 3rd etc source Afterall a listener isn't paying for listening to webradio ... Or you can offer 3 times a free 200 slots + 2 times a paid access of 200 slots If your listeners are real fans to your project they gonna take the effort to pay a Monthly / Annual contribution ... its just an idea of Me ... but it can work out if your project is that popular It looks to Me that you are in a kind of a panic situation ... Panic is the worst friend in achieving a goal. Good luck and I hope you can find some help in solving your problem Visit and listen @ BW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutish Sailor Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Their is a cheaper way to run business too... Find a host that has WOWZA on their server. It makes flash players capable of running ACC+ streams. so running a 32kbps AAC+ stream will sound better than 128kbps. PLUS everyone can use adobe flash, so flash player would seem like a usable solution to your problem. 1/4 use of the bandwidth your using now. If you don't want to go through a host for it, it cost $995 for the program individually. I agree with Philippe whole hearted on this. If you really want to know why you are going to have trouble finding a "streaming sponsor", PM me. I'll break it down. I guarentee it wouldnt happen though.

Blazin 97 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 That's good. Hope things start to go better with your station, that's what sucks about having a large audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
