Any good shoutcast VPS hosts?

[Adam001]

I'd like to find the best option for ordering VPS hosting plans suitable for shoutcast.
Do you think that hostrail.com will be good for this?
I need to manage my own stations or resell and setup & manage multiple playlists.

Is the price ok for their VPS deals?

[Alcatrazz]

I think there are good options for such hosting provided by hostv.com (http://www.hostv.com). The company is offering truly reasonable service and has all the scripts included.

I recognized that there are many advantages in terms of shoutcasting offered by hostrail.com web hosting provider.
Host Unlimited Web Sites
cPanel/WHM Pre-installed
SHOUTcast, ICEcast2, Ices-cc Ready
Remote DJ Stream Control
Full Stats, Listener Control

I think that you will have nice experience dealing with them.

Suppose exmasters.com would be reasonable provider to go with. They have everything for shoutcast, maybe except for software, but I believe youhave already decided which will you use.

[Peligino]

Go ahead - hostrail.com will meet your expectations.. As I know, it provides quality hosting services in terms of server stability, quality support and great network uptime.
Your shoutcast websites will be running fast and efficiently.

Shoutcast is provided by every Web Hosting provider. Shoutcast is used for Audio streaming purpose There are no special packages designed for Shoutcast, it needs to be installed on the server when client requests it. Dedicated server is recommended if you wish to install shoutcast on it. So you can opt for any Managed server where you can ask the hosting provider to install Shoutcast on the server.

Suppose greenolivetree.net is also able to meet the requirements you have about the VPS. Reasonable costs and truly quality support.

I am not sure about them.. I heard they were closed..

As for really perfect alternative, I can highly recommend you to check Glowhost.com - it offers pretty good VPS hosting deals. Their new hybrid technology converts a typical VPS into a HA (High Availability), cloud based, virtual machine server cluster.

[jasmine bell]

Just read customer reviews, they gives you the actual stats about the website.

[webmster12]

Try out dailyrazor. They will be good for shoutcast.I hosted with them and they offer hitch free service.

[wasp]

Think glowhost.com or greenolivetree.net would be the better options for you to start a VPS shoutcasting.

[Snoopy]

I suggest you to look for reviews on recommended hosts. I heard that Hosteasier.com VPS plans are provided with high performance and skilful support which is a perfect fit for streaming purposes.

[hostimizer]

try vps hosting maybe they full fill your requirements

[charcoal]

I believe you should have more options to choose from. Check for offers from 7host (http://www.7host.com/), reliable company with fast and stable VPS plans provided by skilful support team.

[SiberForum]

Look for a minimum uptime of 99%. In fact, even 99% is actually too low - it really should be 99.5% or higher.

Have you checked on Facebook lately? Facebook Business pages are evolving into mini web sites; you can go on, "like" a provider, and since most people have Facebook accounts, linking to your provider provides you with real-time, up to date pricing,coupon codes,promotions, etc. I would also recommend researching your potential provider on" user- based" review sites like webhostreportcards.com.

Virtual private server (VPS) is a term used by Internet hosting services to refer to a virtual machine. The term is used for emphasizing that the virtual machine, although running in software on the same physical computer as other customers' virtual machines, is functionally equivalent to a separate physical computer, is dedicated to the individual customer's needs, has the privacy of a separate physical computer, and can be configured to run as a server computer (i.e. to run server software). The term Virtual Dedicated Server or VDS is used less often for the same concept.

The term Virtual Dedicated Server or VDS is used less often for the same concept. In addition to reducing hardware and power expenditures, virtualisation allows businesses to run their legacy applications on older versions of an operating system on the same server as newer applications.

[Alyy]

Shoutcast streaming audio used for the purpose, there are no special packages designed for Shoutcast, it must be installed on the server when the client requests it. Dedicated server recommended if you want to install Shoutcast on it. So you can choose any managed server, where you can ask the supplier to install the Shoutcast server.

[Corrazon]

No doubts exmasters.com services will be the best option for your demands. They are well-known as quality host with cheap and stable solutions, you wont regret of using them.

[Heblye]

Even though you could get a managed server with most hosts they may not allow you to do audio streaming (http://www.hardheadhosting.com/solutions/audio-streaming) using any type of source due to their terms and conditions. Also if your expecting a lot of listeners then that can also use most of your bandwidth within a few days as most hosts provide you with only 1-2TB bandwidth.

However there are advantages to both sides.

If you use a managed host:


you could potentially save money renting your own server
able to have more than one stream
set your own listener limits (dependent on the server connection and bandwidth limits)
choose to have a control panel or not and what one


If you use a SHOUTcast provider:


can contact your provider for support
don't have to worry about managing the server
control panel is included with your stream
easy to upgrade your account to handle more listeners
most hosts don't limit you on amount of bandwidth you use
