ShoutCast Servers

[Airborn]

Hello,

I have a couple of questions on shoutcast servers, and how you can use them.

1) What is a shoutcast generally used for? (music, DJ'ing?)
2) What's the best OS to host a shoutcast server?
3) is there a recommended RAM to have to host?
4) any suggestions on spaces + bandwidth
5) can you host a shoutcast server on a VPS?
6) what's the preferred shoutcast panel. (control panel)


Any answers will be appreciated.

thanks.

4) space you can have a 20gb Hard drive it wouldnt matter + Bandwidth you need A LOT

For the control panel, Cast Control is an option. However, i'd have to agree with LV3.
