FAQ

Q) Can I pick only some of these features? I do not need them all.
A) No, this is a package deal, as such the features are as described. Ask us if there is a different package we can provide for you.

Q) Why are there only 50 packages available? Will this offer be available again?
A) We have oversized some of our datacentre infrastructure and would rather put it to good use and offer our customers some deals than have it sat there doing nothing. If we purchase additional resource again, we may make this offer available again in the future.

Q) Can I spread services across different accounts and stations?
A) No, this is single package for one station, however if you wish to use it for different stations, you may do so, but the logins and usernames will be for one station only.

Q) Are you acting as a reseller?
A) No, all of these services run on our own platform. The possible exception is the Web Hosting which we may place on shared infrastructure at our discretion.

Q) Can I change the storage space, listener slots, bitrate, web hosting space?
A) If you require more space, slots or a higher bitrate, we'll be happy to quote for this. Please contact us before signing up.

Q) I have more than one station, are there any discounts for multiple stations?
A) As this is already a heavily discounted price, there are unfortunately no further discounts for multiple stations/streams. If you have 10 or more stations/streams, we may be able to include you on some of our reseller pricing plans, please contact us.
Q) Is there a yearly plan?
A) You may pay yearly if you wish, but as this is already a heavily discounted price, there are no further discounted prices for annual payments.
