All of our hosting packages support streaming media files using HTTP. You can use our servers to stream audio and video in both Real Media and Windows Media formats as long as they do not violate any Copyright laws.

HOWTO Stream Real Media

You can download RealProducer Basic from here http://forms.real.com/rnforms/products/tools/producerbasic/index.html Use this software for producing your .rm files

To Stream Real Media you should compress your file into a .rm file with a bit rate smaller than a typical modem - eg 32kbits per second.

You should then upload this file to the server and then make a .ram file linking to this .rm file.

To make a .ram file, open your favourite text editor and enter: http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/mytrack.rm and save as a .ram file (replace yourdomain.com/foldername with your own domain name and location of your .rm file). You should then link to the .ram file from your web site.

HOWTO Stream Windows Media files
