Video Hosting

Microsoft Windows Media (Streams)

Microsoft Windows Media is the ideal solution for streaming media on your Internet site. Now your company can offer its employees, partners and customers a more effective and dynamic method of communicating, via audio and video, from any place at any time.

We offer a certain amount of concurrent streams depending on which hosting plan you are on. Storage space on a separate shared Windows Media Server is given to you with your own FTP login and unlimited publishing capabilities. You will receive 50 MB of media storage for every 5 concurrent streams. Additional streams or storage space is available by special request.

RealAudio and RealVideo

RealAudio and RealVideo allow browsers to listen or view multimedia files as they are downloading, rather than having to wait for the entire document to download before opening it. In this manner, large multimedia files can be viewed efficiently. We have full support for RealAudio and RealVideo. With software from RealNetworks called RealProducer, you can create streaming audio and videos for your site without using your own streaming server.

MacroMedia Shockwave/Flash

Using MacroMedia Director or Flash, web designers can create web-based vector animations that add extreme interactivity to their sites and make what would otherwise be a static site appear smooth, lively, and energetic. The plug-in called the Shockwave Flash Player is what allows a browser to view these animations. Both the plug-in and the animations are extremely compact, so there's a minimum of loading time.

Supported Plug-ins and MIME Types

Our servers support all of the latest plug-ins and MIME types for audio, video, 3-D, and animation. If there is a specific plug-in or MIME type that you need installed, please feel free to contact our technical support department.

HTTP Streaming

Our servers support the latest version of HTTP, which allows for media streaming. This is a useful method for streaming video and audio content without having to use a full-featured Windows Media Server.

MIDI Music Support

MIDI is the basis for most electronic music today and is a format readable by most modern synthesizers and computer soundcards. MIDI files do not contain the actual music of a song, just information telling your computer's soundcard what notes to play. Unlike a massive .wav file that eats up a staggering 10mb per minute of audio, depending on the complexity of the arrangement a 5 minute MIDI song can be as small as 20k, meaning it downloads almost instantly.
