Hello List! I hope this is not too farfetched or outrageous, but I would like to know if I could put my internet radio station on one of my personal web sites (a Startlogic Web Site of 15 Gigs in size). I was wondering if I could upload my Shoutcast, Icecast, Windows Media, or Simplecast or even a Real Server to my web site and install them up there intheir respective Program Files directory and subdirectories? I figure they do it on Audiorealm and Streammadness and others, so why can't I do the same. I contacted Startlogic and they told me I have something like 250 k of bandwidth on my web site. I actually have purchased four 15 gig web sites over the years and two of them are pretty much empty. How would I play my music from my computer through my web site. I should be able to use all of that bandwidth for something. I am sure I could connect my music folder through a plug-in to the sites, with the proper links. The reason I am considering this move is because I tried to use Spacialnet's streaming service, but just couldn't get it set up and they are a bit slow in providing tech support to me. They did actually set up the account, but I can't gain access to the server file to configure it. It is just too much trouble for me to deal with sites that don't work or freeze when I use them. therefore, I am going to try to do it myself. I just want to know from you experts on technology and audio whether or not I can do it relatively cheap.
Also, am I correct in believeing that web sites are set up pretty much like regular PC systems, with directories, etc. and all I have to do is know how to do folders and links? I hope so. Anyway, I figure I can dedicate one 15 gig web site to a station or two if this is permissible. I asked Startlogic and they said it is possible to do and I can put anything I want up there that is proper and legal. I would think those services like For-The-People, VIPconduit, and Audio Tips use separate web sites for their chat service and they allow audio through them too. I am just curious and interested. One final thing on the question: Now, I'd like to use separate servers and plug-ins for each station that I use--if I decide to have two or three. How do I get multiple copies of the Shoutcast Server? They mention you can copy the file to another one and rename it. What would I name a second Shoutcast Server? Could I just add 2 or b to the normal name. Also, would this be the same with the Shoutcast or Sam Encoder Plug-ins. I realize you can install or setup multiple servers with Sam Encoders and with the latest Shoutcast Plug-in. With the Shoutcast Plug-in (being I use the older version), could I just copy the file to another name and save it as often as I need to? A separate Shoutcast Plug-in for each station: Right or Wrong? Thanks for listening to my plan and giving me your support and information.
