I'm going to set up a streaming server at home, since I think streaming hosting is very expensive, so I would rather to spend my money in a good home connection.
That is where my question starts, what home connection should I have in order to stream live video at 200 kbps to over 5000 clients?
on april 19th, we started a new internet radio station and now 3 months later, we're using up over 250GB of monthly bandwidth and have quite some listeners throughout the day. Therefore we want to have more security for our listeners that our stream stays online. I currently just use WinAMP to broadcast to my shoutcast server and CentovaCast takes care of the rest, but if I don't stream, listeners don't hear music and that's becoming a bigger problem everyday.
So I wondered. Can I buy a Windows dedicated server or VPS, install WinAmp on that machine and use a remote desktop to control and configure our stream, like I now do on my local PC? And does anybody has any experience with that?
Whcih kind of server would i need to stream mp3 files, similar to this site....
I was told a vps shared server with high bandwidth would do, i was also told by server crowd id need dedicated?
i have a few questions about MMS live stream. Hope someone got knowledge within this field.
1. is it possible to stream MMS using a linux server?
2. is it possible to password protect a MMS stream using mysql database?
3. How to hotlink protect an mms stream ( it is possible, i seen it.)
I'm wondering if anyone can come up with any way to stream live video off my computer to my server. Then allow all my viewers to watch using my server rather than my own bandwidth.
A script / software combo would be sweet.
server is currently running centos i am willing to change it though.
Is it possible to relay a MMS stream from linux?
MMS server in the US -> my VPS in the US -> me in Australia
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?
after installing a new security update on my windows box , i cant use imap_open any more
its showing following message :
Warning: imap_open() [function.imap-open]: Couldn't open stream {localhost:110/pop3/notls}INBOX
i tried with iis/apache and same error ! alse its showing same error for remote servers !
also i am able to connect pop3 using telnet
We have few dedicated bandwidth servers with a well reputed company. However 10-15% of our customers are complaining about video buffering (windows media live streaming, not recorded). I have asked for their speed test results (To nearest city) and they all seems well above 4Mbps and our videos are at 500kbps max.
We have enabled features like fast cache, fast buffer, and wireless corrections from Windows media Services 2003. However, nothing seems to fix the issue.
1. Do you guys have similar experience with streaming? If so what have you done to fix it? Is there any special settings in Windows media Services 2003 that i should be worried about?
I have a load problem. Now load is very high
20:20:15 up 1:47, 2 users, load average: 42.77, 44.44, 41.17
And in netstat stream value is very high.

I understand the risks of not using a datacenter, but for a smallish site to which uptime isn't key, is it possible to get server-quality bandwidth to my house? (No I don't mean like Gigabit, I mean like upwards of 5mbps)? I'd really like to maintain my own server (probably build one).
I live in Milwaukee, so colocation is, AFAIK, out. And while I can save up for and buy a computer every few years, I cannot sustain $80/month. (I am a middle school student. My income isn't exactly regular.)
So the question... can I get an ISP to let me run a server at decent speeds out of my house? Would its costs exceed colocation or that of a dedicated server?
I have a spare machine which is fairly fast, i like to know what are the steps to make a web server from home that actually works well, i have a static IP and a fast internet too.
Which operating system works better and any guide to a step by step setup.
I want to ask if what are the things needed to establish my own server here at home? What are racks? I did some research but I can't understand it.
What are the things needed? RAM? bandwidth where to get? by the way my location is here in philippines
I'm just wondering what the practicalities and problems might be in setting up a web server from home. At the moment we have a 2Mb cable connection but our provider offers a 20Mb connection.
Would it be possible to set up a small hosting business from home with such a connection?
I want to run a server from my home, so I find this provider:
[url]
and the plan is FastAccess 6MB
so with the plan comes a static IP and I asked theyr support and they say YES , I cant run my own server
so here is my question: is that a good idea and what about the speed?
I am currently leasing a VPS and the kbps upload rate is below my upload rate at home, so I am going to save 50 bucks/ month and move it to home.
I plan on using an older dell desktop with 512mb ram. I would like to use this also as sorta a sync host between my laptop and desktop. I would like to be able to sync certain folders and files which would be stored on the server. I also obviously need to have ftp access, smtp (no knowledge of this area), mysql, php, etc. My big question is which OS should I use? I have fiddled around had a local copy of my site working on my main desktop in windows using apache. Should I stick with windows or would I be better served using a linux distro such as ubuntu? I currently have a static IP address at home. How do I handle the nameservers?
Another thing is how easily can I manage things like emails and subdomains?
I know how to relay stream in shoutcast but i am unable to find a option in windows media encoder to relay a stream.

So I have designed some software for my brother who owns a business and needed a website to manage his clients and send emails to them and stuff. Right now we are using Hostmonster, which has been pretty good so far.
He was talking to me how it would be nice to be able to email the website and have the site automatically store the information in these emails into a database for information regarding his clients, which I know is possible, but not on a shared host it seems. I have tested my own email receiving script on a test server on my computer and it works fine. So we are continually finding our limits with a shared host. We have been looking into dedicated hosting, but as you all know its quite a price jump to go from $7 a month to $200+.
I got thinking and remembered that my dad has always had a business web plan from our ISP at home (cause he likes fast internet), which according to there website serves 1Mbps upload speed. We also have 2-3 old computers sitting at home that we don't use anymore (2)2ghz pentium 4 Dells and a 3.0ghz+ Pentium 4 HP. I was thinking we could probably just plug one of those into the router, forward some ports and have our own server up and running. For now we would only host this software I made for my bro, which is used by only 4 people, and that's not even at the same time usually. So there is very little load to deal with. But in the future we may put a few other sites that we have in mind which would use PHP and MySQL quite a bit.
I was just curious what some of your opinions were on creating a home server. I was looking at Ubuntu Server edition as a possibility, or XAMPP since all my machines are Windows XP. One machine doesn't work cause the hard drive is out, so if I use that I would probably have to put Ubuntu on it. Any suggestions on good server software would be great! I believe the business web plan my dad has also comes with a static IP as well, so that will help. Look forward to hearing your suggestions!

In the future I'm thinking of running a web server from my residential house.
I currently have rogers cable , but they do not allow you to run a server from their residential internet connection.
Does anyone run a server from their house? What kind of internet connection do you have?
I'm guessing most people don't do this because they find out it cost way to much to get a special connection ran to their house. Colocation might be the only way to go.

My goal is to see, on my home computer, how my new Web pages would look as I work on them, and that includes things like includes, which can't be seen on a regular home computer (mine is Vista). Later on, I also expect to play around a lot with PHP.
OK, how am I supposed to do this? Is there a folder on my home computer where these files should be? Do I need to install them on another computer on my home LAN?
I just don't get these first basic steps; I don't know what to look for.
