Hello, Patti.

http://www.netcraft.com
For example, to find out who hosts ashlists.org, you can go to the following
URL:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=www.ashlists.org
It tells me the site is hosted by CommuniTech.Net, Inc. or one of its
subsidiaries.
Top sites hosted by CommuniTech.Net, Inc. are listed on the following page:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/hosted?netname=COMMUNITECHNET,209.15.0.0,209.15.255.255
> an ISP that can handle Streaming Media... one that supports

I recommend letting your mouse do the walking. Visit
http://www.hostsearch.com/ and enter the criteria you desire. A couple of
other messages that have been posted to this list may also be of help:

See Netcraft above.

Again, see above.

I'll let someone else help you with this one.

RealPlayer, of course.
A question of my own:
Has anyone heard of hosting provider http://www.yournetspace.com/ ? It looks
like they have very good prices. I think they may be brand new--I can't find
anything on them anywhere. I'll probably switch to them, since I'm a
cheapskate, but I'd like to find out if there are any experiences with this
one. Thanks!
