Oh man ... how will I ever get clients if you guys always bother about this ;)

cheers,
:beer:

dektong,

It is your company.

Sorry. = X :blush:

No, it's no mine ... What I try to say was it would be very hard for me start my own webhost if people keep minding about this ... I haven't started yet but I do really take care of my clients, perharps more than some hosts :) ... And my point: this sort of things are not really neceesarily used to judge a company ...

To the original poster ... I visited the site ... the site design does not look good at all (but again, this is different story). The price is OK, you can find cheaper here ... The reseller deal is not that good ... You can get up to 50% discount from some companies ...

Just a thought ...

cheers,

The thing is, I really need Real Audio/Video streaming.
A lot of the host on this board do not support it because of bandwitdh issues.
I just want a good price, space, cgi, ssi, and streaming is very important.

Check out my other post with more specs here (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14667)

Real Audio/Video streaming costs a lot to license.

Really. i did not know that.

It does. The Server Plus starts at about $2000 and it only goes up from there.

Hey I have a domain registered 3 years ago... If I put it in use, would I be a 3 year old company? :D

And if i sold my company and started over again, or just took a new name, would that make me inexperienced??

Domain name registration date is a relative thing

Yes thats correct lol :rolleyes:

Cheaper than 3 bucks??

I think I'm gonna slit my wrists. . . :eek:

What $3?
What are you talking about?

Well, okay, $3.33. Read the main page of the site.

Just a FYI:
If you can't get a Real server you can stream Real files with (text) metafiles.
It's cheating but it works, albeit maybe not as well ;)

So how does that work? :D

Pasted from my support pages ;)


Create a .ram file that calls your real audio/video file. The .ram file is a text file with an absolute URL. This URL will need to be the location of the actual media file. eg: http://yourdomain.com/filename.rm
Call the .ram file from your HTML code. The HTML file will call the .ram file, and the .ram file will call the .rm file, which will stream.

So your HTML code would look something like this: <a href="http://yourdomain.com/music.ram">Click here to listen to music.</a>

That's what I do.
You mean to tell me it works even if the host does not have real support?

Cool! I'm gonna have to try it.

So there is no point of streaming then eh?

It Worked!!!

yes, they have a good prices and good support.
Think they are vdi based.
They have also imperum.com freeporter.com and registerzone.net
so should be a solid service.

bye

ProSam,

I've never heard of HostDiscount.net so I can't comment on their track record. Their website is extremely generic, so I would fear that their reliability and service is also. I could be wrong. Maybe they just need a decent designer. But, personally, speaking as a consumer just going by the website, I'd run in the other direction.

Here's a tid-bit of info. relating to Real Audio/Video Streaming that I hope may be of some help to you...

Quote: "When Real Audio/Video first came out, it required an
audio/video server to be installed on the web server.
This was because Real Audio/Video wanted to charge
for each "stream'" or visitor. But soon people started
writing competitive audio/video streaming technology
that didn't require a special server. So, to compete,
Real Audio/Video now does not require a server, and
you can even use their free tools to create streaming
audio over the Internet."

I believe that many hosts do not have an Audio/Video Server, but do support Real Audio/Video Streaming.

Good luck with your search! :)
