so my host doesnt like my site atm (using 50gig of bandwith a month), so im looking for new host for my podcast site, www.mtgcast.com we are in the middle of a revamp, we have about 9 podcasts (8 different and one mega feed). im looking for a host that can put up with our bandwidth needs, we also need the usually stuff like php 4 or 5 and lots of mysql databases , CPanel would be a big plus . im also looking at doing a live show say once a week (ala webmasterradio ) but not as big as those so streaming support would help. i can pay about $25 a month, any suggestions.
Take a look at the platinum plan for www.uchosting.com. As far as podcasting goes, do you have a script that you use already for your podcast feeds? Also, please keep in mind our servers run on linux so streaming audio such as .wma files are not possible with a linux box. Streaming via HTTP is not a problem at all. ICQ me if you have any questions, I can even hook you up with a free 1st month so that you can verify it meets your needs before committing to a monthly payment. Oh and all accounts come with cPanel Cheers
hi mate, i host my sites at Hostgator. Use baby plan ( 75GB bandwidth for 9.95$- think its good price for reliable hosting). Havent any problems, 99.9% uptime, live support, cpanel, mysql and more.
This webhosting is intended exclusively for sites like yours and offering one month for free, not cheap though: www.streamingmediahosting.com
I use hostingaddiction.com and their unlimited plan. No worries about going over any limits and they have lightning fast servers and bandwidth connections. What more can you ask for???
i use www.bluhost.com and I am quite satisfied. 30 Gigabyte Hosting Space and 750 GIGS of Transfer per month for reasonable price.
HostGator.com has been really good. I host HostSly.com there, and it's been up 24/7 for the last 2 months.
They might be generous with bandwidth, but not so much with disk space. 500 MBs with their $9.95 plan is not very competetive.
One most important thing to consider is the reputation of a hosting company, and their professional quality. A big hosting company like pair.com, or futurequest.com have huge data centers. Lot of smaller hosts oversell, and they do not have the means to meet the requirements of a demanding customer. Rule of Thumb: Look for a big hosting company that has been in business for several years, and checkout references in forums like digitalpoint, sitepoint, and webhostingtalk. Wish you good luck!
I would HIGHLY reccommend a virtual private server (VPS) for your needs. Highly rated VPS providers are http://www.powervps.com/, http://www.liquidweb.com/, and http://steadfast.net/. Make sure you search at webhostingtalk.com before you go with any company. Good luck.
Same here. I've been hosting my sites on that plan for 3 months and havn't had a single second of downtime yet. There support is excellent too, there are always staff ready on live support to answer your questions.
