gulfam Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi, I am just interested to know if it is possible to install Shoutcast Server and AutoDJ on a Virtual Private Server. If it is possible, I'd love to know the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdean Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yes. Use castcontrol or WHMSonic if you have WHM/Cpanel on the VPS. I know someone who has done this both ways. With castcontrol lite you can only have one account with autoDJ but the license for lite is only a few $. See http://www.cast-control.net and http://www.whmsonic.com for more details.

BWorld Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I would definitely recommend cast control, especially for a single user as WHMSonic is more for resellers. ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?

Yes, I have seen and Cast Control is especially affordable for personal use. It costs US$ 6.49 only. By the way, will Shoutcast server be needed to be installed separately? Secondly, how can I install Cast Control? Is there any tutorial for this purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast Control installs the shoutcast components needed. Tut here: Link 1 This also useful: Link 2 If this is above what you know, people like mixtream will install for you for a small fee.

Please find it out and let me know. I think, this feature is offered in professional version but lite version is missing AutoDJ. Thanks in anticipation.

BWorld Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Nope, it is actually offered with Cast-Control Lite! I have just talked to the developer. When you buy it, just let him know that Marcus Allen sent you and you'll be hooked up with Auto-DJ! ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?

jamesdean Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Cast Control LITE has the facility for Auto DJ for ONE stream only so ideal for just the one station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icyshout Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 i would recommend centovacast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdean Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 i would recommend centovacastAgreed that is very good auto dj software but not cheap for just an individual station. Cast Control LITE is cheapest option for single Auto DJ user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icyshout Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 its not that expensive... but it may be cheaper to go with host over all the options...because bandwidth is expensive if you dont buy in bulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWorld Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It is very expensive compared to Cast Control and in my opinion, cast-control runs better. I have had no issues with it. Bandwidth isnt that expensive on a VPS system, especially with a small station. ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?

gulfam Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Centovacast only works on LINUX machines, not Windows. I am also using Linux. However, I'll buy the script after comparison. Cast control comes with one time payment while Centova Cast charges fee every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdean Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Cast control comes with one time payment while Centova Cast charges fee every month. Exactly, hence my suggestion for Cast Control above the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigloo Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I recommend Cast Control. User interface is, in my opinion, more intuitive. It's less expensive as well. Centova is great - I've used them both. They both have ups and down - I settled for Cast Control. ________ 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...

tommyinnn Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I've been running WHM Sonic for just over a year, and, compared to Centova Cast, WHM Sonic uses little server resources, and seems to be able to run twice as many auto dj's as Centova Cast ... Any1 know how Cast Control runs compared to other server based auto dj's?? WHM Sonic's WHMCS integration is flawed - does Cast Control work well with WHMCS? Thanks for any advice or help any1 can give, I am looking into adding Cast Control to our auto dj options.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
