STREAMING MEDIA
Streaming media is audio and/or
video fed continuously from a streaming server to client
computer via the internet. This technology primarily facilitates
live webcasts, but is also used for webcasting pre-recorded
content from your website.
Unlike standard file downloads, streams are played as
they arrive. Subsequently there’s little wait to
begin playing a file and, because nothing is saved to
the local hard drive, streamed data has no lasting impact
on system performance. You can choose not to make their
content available for download by streaming it from their
website, thus increasing site traffic and preventing unauthorised
distribution.

If you would like to discuss your requirements with someone
who can speak plain English and not try to blind you with
science then please fill in the form opposite. We will
call you back as soon as possible to have a no-obligation
chat about your needs and how we can best fulfill them.
Most other providers dumb-down their pricing structures
and sell 'listener slots'. This makes no sense at all
- we price our streaming services based on the amount
of
bandwidth
you use. This may sound technical to the uninitiated but
it is fairly easy to explain. We prefer to give you the
full facts so that you can make an informed choice as
to which of our webcasting services is best for you. For
an overview of these choices, please visit our
streaming
media hosting services packages.
If you would like to calculate your expected bandwidth
consumption, you can do so using our

calculator.
