I'm in the process of putting together an online radio show, which will require live stream for a small audience at the beginning. I'm not familiar with online stream so I would like to hear from some of the expert on how to proceed.
View 6 RepliesI am making a plan to make an website that will have an radio fucntion that will play whatever the user would like play, from what I have made available and the radio would have different channels. Also there will be an Forums section and an article section.
The article section woulbe be articles that I wrote.
I would like some advice on what technology should I used to acheieve my results. Also what type of web hosting would I need? From the above specs would I need a database?
One of my client want to start a new radio site.So will a VPS work out for him?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've just picked up an interesting project, an internet radio.
Internet Radio is not something I've done before so I'm looking around for info on it :
1. The Kind of hosting for streaming that is required.
2. Any good hosts (not your own of course )
3. Any helpfull resources, tutorials, explanations etc on the subject.
I'm just a simple web designer at a non-profit organization in Canada. We are planning to start an Internet Radio Station with approximately 500 max simultaneous listeners and would like to seek some advice from more experienced people regarding this topic.
We do not have a set budget as long as the cost is reasonable. After much research, I have ruled out using full service providers like Live365 because of the huge costs involved in maintaining the service.
Running a server in our office as the stream source is also not a viable option because our allowed upstream will not support up to 500 listeners.
So I am left considering between two options:
1. Paying for a AutoDJ streaming service that will host and stream our music to a streaming server.
2. Paying for a VPS and install all the necessary applications involved for running our own AutoDJ and stream it to a streaming server.
This is were I am unsure how to proceed. Option 1 would be the easiest, however, I am having a difficult time finding a service provider who offers AutoDJ applications. I have only came across one I'm comfortable with using so far.
Option 2 seems the most cost effective, but I would have to go about installing all the applications required to run an Internet Radio station and I'm unsure how to go about doing that.
The general idea I got was that I will need to install a streaming server application and a source management application. So I was looking at IceCast for streaming and Centova for management. Will this be all I need? and how difficult will installation be?
Am I better off paying for installation?
i own <<an internet radio station>> and im in need of some expert help im looking for a good deadcated server i push a high vol of listeners 3 months ago i was at 1.4 million listeners and was number 78 on shoutcast stats now im 144 <<removed>> i have had 2 deadcated servers and each time i was running to much bandwidth that's what they said and that i need to pay more money i need to find a company that can handle the load of my listeners
im also looking to maybe do a a paid subscription so is there any 1 here that know how to do authorization type stuff where people pay then they get a pass word and can log in and listen to the music if u can help me hit me up
I run an online music archive site . Djs can upload their mixes to share and we also archive radio shows for people to listen back to.
Basically I was wondering if it would be possible to build a secondary server that could do this for me.
The secondary server could have multiple cast rippers running and could record internet radio shows, then once finished recording transfer it could send them over to my primary server to add to the website for people to download.
I have a question regarding shoutcast radios. How would you deal with a client who requires a radio server with 500 max listeners at 320kbps bitrate?
View 7 Replies View RelatedToday I wanted to configure server for colocation and I went to both HP and DELL, and everything was ok until I started to configure HDDs. Price of regular 1Tb HDD is about $500 on both DELL and HP, while same drive costs $84 on newegg. Whats the catch? I mean processor, RAM, and everything else has normal prices, but HDDs are 6X more expensive than normal price.
Do you know any good site where I can configure server and order it to colocation address. Also it must be very cheap ? Best would be if I could order components from new egg, send them to company which assembles everything and then send it to DC.
I hope this is in the correct section. Secondly, here is my issue that I am hoping someone can help with. I run a fairly successful video streaming site with several thousand members, and several thousand videos. I am trying to determine how many users I have online at any given time. Does anyone know of a piece of software/code out there that can provide me with this information in real time?

We are now online after The Planet crash but since this morning we have a strange problem...
All our servers are resolving, including our database server but the servers do not see the database server (Ip not resolving...)
Our computer to database server = Resolving

Servers to database server = Not Resolving
I am currently shopping for web hosting for an online store (that would provide software - mostly automatically downloadable upon payment).
My estimates for initial operation of my web/online store are:
Storage: (10MB/app x 50 apps) + 50MB overhead = 550 MB
Monthly transfer: 5000 purchases/month x 10MB/app = 10 GB
Number of email accounts: up to 10
By "initial" I mean first year, not first month.
My intent is to develop my own osCommerce based web store for downloadable software that I develop. PHP and MySQL support are must. My estimates are not carved in stone. In the beginning I will certainly use much less "monthly transfer" than I specified and in the long term I hope to be using much more "monthly transfer" (as marketing evolves and the business becomes more established)...
The most important factors to me are (in the following order):
1) Reliability (up-time, security)
2) Tech support
3) Expandability (room to grow)
The company that registered my domain name provides web hosting with much more than I initially need (5GB space, 250GB transfer, 50 email accounts) for under $3 a month.
This is a price that I can afford. However, I am not sure whether it is a good idea to have both the web hosting and domain registration provided by the same company? Any opinions/comments you have about this? Is my doubt in this regard unfounded?
Secondly, is there some independent source (user/customer reviews OK) that compares the reliability of web hosting providers? (I would have given the name of my registrar here but I am unsure whether this would constitute advertising. If mentioning names or asking for references is allowed please let me know and I will post it here so that I can get your opinions about it).
Thirdly, is there any significance for where, geographically, the actual servers are located? Main consideration is access speed for customers...

I have been looking to talk to BurstNET reps about a possible purchase (gunna attempt to maybe negotiate a deal - trying to choose between VolumeDrive and BurstNET) but I have yet to find their chat to be online in the past week or so; I have checked during all hours of the day (meaning at different times of the day... not literally every single hour).
Furthermore I tried dropping their sales an email but have not got any sort of response yet (albeit its only been over a day but not even a confirmation or anything).
I will probably try to drop them an email again but was just wondering if anyone has ever had a live chat w/ BurstNET reps before?
What type of servers would you recommend us to use and what software also should we use.
Am not sure about the software part.
i'm starting an online advertising business and I'm looking for some kind of site-builder that facilitates web directory sites. Not just textual links.. but whole listings.. picture, menu, stuff like that, a google map to show location.. a proximity search feature.. anyone know of any site builders that have built-in templates to facilitate this? I suppose it's possible to pick a regular site builder with an ordinary template and start from scratch.. but it seems easier the other way.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my godaddy account, At this time my credit card is expiring within a month. when i try to log my hosting accounts and domain manager. It says to give a call for Godaddy billing support number. I tried it, but very busy. I sent few emails and no replies yet. So i couldn't access my account. I paid all bills. Luckily i don't have any expiring domains within few months.
Is this safe? because i need at least 2 weeks to get new credit card? When i check my domain by a whois tool it says like "Prohibited", something.
"Registrar Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Registrar Status: clientRenewProhibited
Registrar Status: clientTransferProhibited
Registrar Status: clientUpdateProhibited"
why godaddy is not user friendly like Hostgator. When i have problems in Hostgator, their online support is helpful.
Ideally something extremely user friendly and customisable with good SEO support.

There are relatives on other continents who won't be able to attend, so we're trying to figure out the best way that they'd be able to watch.
Don't want to stream directly since there might be up to 10 people watching, and don't want to have any lag.
Any suggestions on the best route to go? Maybe there is a service and I'm just not looking in the right spot.
I think I want a quality server to host a cam stream for a few hours in early June. Or should I be looking for something else?
with the failure of apple's mobileme (not compatible with IE6 + its wicked slow) I'm looking if there's any online calendar programs that I could install on my host.
The wife and I need a centralized location to update our schedules and appointments. MobileMe had promise but since it does not work with IE6, I'm SOL. Google also has an online calendar but for various reasons, I'd like to avoid google.
Since I have a web host, I was wondering if there's any open source (or commercial) applications that I could would allow maintain our schedules/appointments through the web.

View 4 Replies View RelatedNow that I have learnt what I guess is enough to build a web site (including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Photoshop), I need to know what are the steps to put a web site online. I need to know everything:
1- Purchasing a domain and what are the different possibilities.
2- All about Web Servers (Buying - Renting - different operating systems and platforms)
3- Mail Servers and other services.
4- Security issues that I need to worry about.
5- Any other things I need to consider.
i got files on my host and wish to join them together in a zip, tar, or rar
anything i just want to join them together in a single archive and plz note that files are considreabley huge some are 100 MB, some are 200, 300 and 400,....
any script available?
am able to extract tar through my host but not compress, or even just store no need to shrink the size.
Can anybody recommend any online website building script for a web host to use for his customers. I have tried sitestudio but found it impossible to install amd its java based so takes up alot of resources.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI tried signing up for a few of those online image hosts. I would upload a few images, carefully read their instructions, and code my page to go get the pictures to show up on my webpages. I tried about four different ones. No matter what I did, following their instructions, looking in different browsers, checking file names etc, I always had trouble finding my pictures. Not just trouble--my images just never show up when I put them in these free online file places. Usually I am pretty sharp about stuff like this but now I have to wonder: What is going on with that?
