Hey,

You have been saying that these hosting companies have had a lot of down time. No company can offer 100% uptime. You say your servers are never down. do you have any proof, that they are not down while you are a sleep? What datacentre do you use? I don't think you knew this, but hosting 100 listners @ 64KBS will make you go over your bandwidth limits unless you are unmetered. If you want qualitity shoutcast, you should visit www.streamsolutions.co.uk . I have dealt with them in the past. They have a lot of skills, and are dedicated. They have MSN bots to control every, and they also offer ON DEMAND for shoutcast.

Regards,
LTADMIN.

Edit: http://www.streamsolutions.co.uk/pricelist/ Use this to calculate the costs. (I am not Stream solutions staff)

Edit: I reccomend you do not buy from there. They are having trouble findind who their datacenter is. First it was the planet, then i told them it was Beyond The Network America, Inc. Then the owner said it is, so i asked for a site. Then he said he cant find it, but it is savvis. Here is the chat transcript anyway: This is a transcript of the conversation you had on SharpeHosting Support Center's website on Tuesday 02nd of August 2005 at 05:19:19 pm

Hey, I Made Www.HabJam.co.uk & Sharpehosting did most of it e.g the web hosting the layout the radio the stats everything. i have been with them for about a week now and i know its not a long time but they are a great company and not let me down once. sharpehosting are not a scam, they are a great company, great people and their staff are always happy to help and give u friendly advice.
full stop.

We charge for ALL installations, configuration and styling for all the above.

The scripts, ect we use are free, and if the owners wish to use them, and not pay us to install them, then they do not need to pay us, but some people are new to the web, and they may not understand how to install these things.

I had this problem, when I first came into Websites. I got great help from GfxFusion, they installed DJ Says, Cutenews for me, I paid.

And thank you Bondy Your a great customer.

Also, SharpeHosting are up 24 hours a day, With us aspies being nocturnal, and my site being with SharpeHosting at http://tdn.sharpenews.co.uk, I can clarify that greatly.

However, I installed most of my scripts for free... But self-installed ofcourse, Thus Didn't have to pay. I can understand Nick being a bit confused sometimes, But cut him some slack, His learning curve is fast, He's learned PHP, how to manage a host, HTML, MySQL, FTP, Javascript, etc. In a space of 9 months. I took 2 years to learn some of that stuff alone.

Anyway, yes, SH is great, thank you,
Chris.

DJ SEZ (yes, the original name for DJ Says) however was kind of my idea, I designed a small PHP announcement script using a MySQL Backend, althought because of the **** that back then was "freehosting123.com", it was constantly down and there were a few numerous errors. Uh, not quite sure what they're using for DJ "says" now, wether it was cutenews or their own script, But I was the start of this trend, just to let you know.

The thing is that ax-hosting.com and lc-hosting.com they are so unreliable. Sharpehosting servers are always up and if they do go down we reward our customers with a free month hosting or something like that. Sam

Everyone says that and ax-hosting is better and cheaper than sharpe hosting
and also, they always give like loads more bandwidth when theyre updating something like Cpanel or theyre having a down time ...

[LTADMIN]

Hey,

If i was you, i would read that transcript. They know nothing about hosting. They don't monitor their uptime either. If i was you, stick with AX, LC, Alloy.

Regards,
LTADMIN.
