I take it your overselling then? Or am I free to use all 64mbps?

haha.. ive seen this before too.. 'free shoutcast server!!' once you get a decent listener base on that relay, you steal those listeners by changing the relay details, or you insert advertising when someone tunes in.

bandwidth isnt cheap unless you have a great hookup. anyone who 'gives away' bandwidth might have something to hide. and you say that you have servers in EU, US, UK, and CA?

Ashley wrote:Or am I free to use all 64mbps?

this would normally mean that each one of your servers should have a dedicated Unmetered 100Mbps uplink to the internet. unless you would only plan on having 4 clients.. one on each box, you would need 100Mbit uplinks. which in the US alone would run you about $2000/mo

if you offered 192k hosting. i would test out the waters a little bit.. and put some listeners on one of your servers to actually test out the link speeds that you say you have.

but i always stay really far away from the 'free hosting' unless its coming from a very respectable company. or from a friend that works at a datacenter or something... for example, one of the stations i own is fully hosted by AOL for free.. 800 128k slots are provided by AOL at no charge. this happened way back in the day when AOL bought shoutcast/nullsoft and they offered to host some of the top stations. one if my stations happened to be among to top stations at the time....

many people are mislead when the details on their new dedicated boxes read '100Mbits Bandwidth!' when actually its either a tier 1 bandwidth package where you can get speeds 'up to' 100Mbits and you have a monthly limit of how much you can use. standard packages start at 2000GB/mo for dedicate servers. there is also another misleading thing that hosting providers will do is advertise "100Mbits UNMETERED!' but then you read the fine print and it says something like this...

Unmetered: Services advertised/sold as "UNMETERED" will not be subject to bandwidth overage fees. Bandwidth is supplied from a shared pool, and is not supplied as guaranteed/dedicated bandwidth. Burstable usage of the UNMETERED service/port is permitted, however, a service that has heavy sustained usage may have their port capped or be asked to upgrade to a dedicated service plan. UNMETERED service is supplied on a "best-effort" basis---which may result in some slowdowns during peak traffic times.

ive made the mistake before.. ordered a cheap dedicated server.. come to find out that the 100mbit unmetered link is always throttled down to less than 10Mbits..

its a pretty lame way to get people to order servers, and for them to cheaply sell their bandwidth. and still keep control over it.

You obviously have no clue what you are talking about, DL




HAHA

Most people looking to start an online radio will probably peak at 60 something users at anyone time anyways. I think they are overselling (without the sales).

But yeh, wheres the catch..

lol.. yea no doubt.. only been doin it for 10 years :P... ive done stations that did well.. some that didnt... ive seen just about all there is to see =]
