Hi,
Hope this quoting is clear, I'm not using my regular Email client.

Hi Geoff,
You forgot to mention few things:
1. What is the MAX price that you're willing to pay?
hmmm. Wel not a fortune. I think we can probably get what we want for no
more than about $40/month. We don't currently have a budget for this, so
it'll be out of our pockets until we can get someone to fund the project.
2. Should it only be VPS? not a real server?
I'd expect a dedicated server will be out of or price range, and possibly
overkill.
3. Have you considered Amazon EC2?
I hadn't, but I have now and dismissed it. We are starting an Internet
radio station, and the 24/7 uptime for the cheapest EC2 instance hosted in
Europe would be over $80/month. Add to that that it would cost
approximately $7.50 per month per listener to a 128kbps stream, and that
this doesn't count web traffic, uploading content to the server for
playout, etc, and you can see that it doesn't scale very well.
Geoff.
