    Well, it has a market, but it's not quarter as big as web hosting. You would be better off selling shoutcast VPS/Dedicated then just accounts :)

    There is always a market for it. However, it is not as much as the normal web hosting market. Maybe less than a quarter of the web-hosting industry.

    Thinks guys We have a server that came with the free whmsonic and was just wondering what the market may be, determining if I should keep the server or not since we just got 2 additional 8 cores.. on top of what we already have.. I don't want a server just sitting empty:), Just weighing my options before the next server bill.

    There probably is a market around for it, although I never really had any request from my own customers for it. Like Cameron said, you could probably sell VPS rather than just accounts, that will make up the costs quicker.
