Services Restored
ShoutcastPRO and its parent company Eastside-Hosing recently had their Media Services server shutdown for aprox 36 hours due to the fact of the former datacenter AlphaRed filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on December 24, 2008 and all servers went offline aprox 11:37 AM and at the time our company was waiting for our new server to become available and continue offering Shoutcast Media Services to our current and new clients.
December 26, 2008 – Our new Shoutcast Server is online; instead of more downtime, we configured our server with additional features.
• Scanner System (Auto Start Features)
• MSN Bot
• Stream Authentication Service
• Google Geo IP Listener Maps
Scanner System (Auto Start Features) – If the Streaming Media Server gets rebooted or if your port fails it automatically sends to the CastQ System and restarts the port within 60 seconds – It’s the same if you manually stop or restart.
MSN Bot – This is a MSN passport we’ve setup that controls our MSN Services, Add this MSN e-mail:
mcs@shoutcast.pro
to your MSN and you’ll be able to control it without logging into the Shoutcast Control Panel – If you have MSN on your cell phone, you can do the same and control the msc bot.
Note: Keep in mind you must authorize your MSN e-mail in the Shoutcast Control Panel before you can control from MSN otherwise it will deny you until you update the settings. (Type: HLP for list of commands on MSN)
Stream Authentication Service – You can add authentication to your stream; basically, if you want certain listeners to connect to it provide them with a username(s) and password(s) (You can create more than one.)
Google Geo IP Listener Maps – We’ve setup this Google Map Tool that will show where all your listeners are from and maps it out using Google Maps.
ShoutcastPRO and Eastside-Hosting want to say we hope you continue to use our services and have a Happy New Year.
Thanks,
Eastside-Hosting
