URGENT: I need a good Windows Media streaming host, like NOW!

"Have content, will move..."

I just got word that hard times have befallen the host I use for streaming media/podcasting, so I'm desperately searching for a great media host.  It's not a tall order, simple actually.
  • Must provide several hundred MB of server space for hosting Windows Media streaming files (WMVs) and MP3s for podcasting
  • Must be able to facilitate transfer of several GBs of data per day.
  • Must support Windows Media streaming video (and optionally, audio)
  • Must be able to disable directory browsing
  • Must provide server stats
If anyone knows of any good hosts (or are one), please shoot me a line at jason@kuam.com ASAP).  Thanks.

You can try here, I understand the 7.95 package has interesting storage and bandwith:

Thanks...ironically, DreamHost is the company I'm with at the moment. I'm actually going through a company who bought space from DreamHost and has a bunch of sites on their server...and my site (easily the largest and most bandwidth-intensive), is transferring about 13.3GB per day.

Talk to Carl Franklin (.NET Rocks) since he has been doing this for a long time - he may know some host-providers who may meet your needs.

Have you tried http://www.servermatrix.com ?

There was also another hosting company like Server Matrix called Bench something, I forgot.

Good luck.

Also try theplanet.com, they give I believe 2000 gigs monthly, which is about 65 gigs a day (meets your ~14 gig daily transfer, just don't get too too popular!)
