FAQ:
What is the DRS 2006 Radio Streamer? FAQ: Why can't I simply rent a cheap dedicated server? People ask us this question every day! When streaming to the web you do not need much server power. What you really need is dedicated bandwidth which is very expensive (not umetered). When a provider offers you a dedicated server you will basically be connected in a server farm to a small traffic line together with many other servers. The server is dedicated, but the bandwidth is shared. They usually sell the server traffic as unmetered. So you are for example sharing a 100 Mbit line with several servers altough your dedicated server has a 100 Mbit or even 1000 Mbit network card installed. If you are using this dedicated server as a webserver, then you will hardly recognize if the connection is a little slower (oversold). However when streaming on shared traffic lines, you will have buffering all the time. The streams will simply rip off because other servers in the shared line also need the bandwidth. You may be lucky a certain amount of time because your provider has not put many servers in your line yet, but you can bet this will happen sooner or later. If it does not, you can bet the provider will cancel your contract because with a full used 1000 Mbit line you will cost them a lot of money every month. There are many "companies" out there trying to start a streaming service with these cheap dedicated servers. They usually have very low pricing. Of course they are not able to do this business for long because of the dedicated bandwidth which is needed. So please take a closer look before you sign up with any stream provider! Ask for dedicated bandwidth! At the DRS 2006 Radio Streamer we have dedicated lines with huge bandwidth which is not oversold. So because we do not have this bottle neck there is no buffering and absolutely stable streaming since years. Your listeners will appreciate it! FAQ: Where can I order a Streaming Server?
