What is streaming audio/video?

A technique for transferring data such that it can be processed as a steady and continuous stream. With streaming, the client browser or plug-in can start displaying the data before the entire file has been transmitted.

For streaming to work, the client side receiving the data must be able to collect the data and send it as a steady stream to the application that is processing the data and converting it to sound or pictures. This means that if the streaming client receives the data more quickly than required, it needs to save the excess data in a buffer. If the data doesn't come quickly enough, however, the presentation of the data will not be smooth.

Is there support for streaming audio/video on your servers?

You can upload multimedia files with .WMA/.MP3/.AVI and all other extensions.

The server supports streaming in case you want to play the content with appropriate software installed on your computer.

In case that streaming must be executed as an internal streaming process on the server, we do not support streaming audio or video.

Are IRC Servers and IRC Bots allowed on the server?

If you want to forward only a single page of your site, use:
Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html

For more advanced, rule-based redirects, please refer to the Apache mod_rewrite documentation.
