looking for stream hosting ...
 

hello everyone. i am looking for hosting where i can stream mp3 for +-30 users, maybe less maybe more, time will tell ... its for my local radio station with international djs support which will be starting at 20th of december, with all legal needs, without any advertisement, payed only by myself, so cheaper is better :winkwink: thanks for any recommendation in advance and wish you best with your sites everyone! :thumbsup

Any idea how much bandwidth?
I'll get you an awesome deal on pure premium and tier-1 network with a kick ass machine.

Starting off I'd recommend 10Mbps and see if you need more from there, you can have it Unmetered (capped, no overages, upgrade as needed) or Burstable (use more if needed but susceptible to overages)

thank you will keep you in mind ... anyway i am not sure about bandwidth, i know nothing about those things, all i know is that we will be streaming 96kbps with those +-30 people daily. when i was testing friend told me its about 1.2gb transfer daily per user ... thats all i know, i need to ask more somewhere, or someone can help with those streaming numbers? ;) thanks in advance and have a nice day everyone! :thumbsup

I can get you setup on a NationalNet server using 100% teir1 networks, with 24x7 phone and web support plus full management and active monitoring for $199/mo - this includes 5Mbps bandwidth. For your calculations, 30 consistently simultaneous users @ 96kbps = 2880kbps or 2.8Mbps, add overhead and you will still be well within this 5Mbps range.

Please contact me on [email protected] or [email protected] with your full details so that I can get you details of this offer.

cheers,
Luke

you are looking at :
96kbps * 30 users = 2,880kbps = 2.8Mbps

2.8Mbps on average is around: 756GB

Please note that the 2.8Mbps is a figure that is assuming users stay connected the entire time and you never have less than 30 listeners.

The absolute maximum if it was always maxed out would be:
3Mbps or 960GB

In reality you are probably looking at around 2.5Mbps on 95th or 300-500GB depending on your usage. If you are interested in some pricing hit me up on icq at 36837470 and I can lay out some options for you from www.realitychecknetwork.com :thumbsup
