Newbie wondering how much you pay for hosting?

Hi,
I'm brand new to producing podcasts and I have a question about file sizes, hosting costs etc. My main reason for setting up a podcast is there aren't currently any others representing the music genre I'm interested in (a good reason to start one I keep hearing!)
I won't be paying to use any of the music as I've contacted many potential bands who will happy to grant me permission to use their songs for free. My podcast also will not be designed to generate any great revenue. With that in mind I need to keep costs to a minimum.
I've looked into hosting costs which will be my highest cost (hopefully my only cost, unless I've missed something?) and using to this filesize calculator:
http://www.rvmsounds.com/calculator/
and taking an average of 10 songs with the average 5mins song-length it says my podcast will be about 45Mb per monthly episode.
I'm not sure how popular the podcast will be to begin with but, assuming I can get around 200 listeners per month (and using this bandwidth calculator: http://www.podtopia.net/bcalc.shtml), it says I will need about 9Gb per month in bandwidth... and that's without providing access to any archived episodes!
Looking around at hosts they're quoting charges of around $1,500 a year for that kind of bandwidth...
Looking at this forum there seem to be a lot of people podcasting so I'm wondering if:
a) I've got my calculations massively wrong or
b) everyone else is producing much shorter and more infrequent episodes or
c) everyone else has very large trust-funds!
Please tell me its option "a"!!
Thanks in advance,
Vincent.

Well, the MobileMe basic subscription gets you 20GB of server space (which includes your mail space) and allows bandwidth of 200GB per month. The cost is $99 a year, and you can get more space and bandwidth by paying extra if you want. There are probably comparable deals elswhere: the price you quoted sounds well excessive - have a look round and make sure the quotes aren't for fully featured business hosting, which you certainly don't need.

  • How do find out how much space I have in iCloud? How do I see what I have there? How do I see how much a pay for it?

    It is probably easy but ...
    (1) If I want to see my account, how much do I pay each year, how much space do I have for storage what link do I use ... everything goes to support and explanations ...
    (2) How do I access iCloud Storage? What if I need more?
    (3) What is the difference between iWork and iCloud
    (4) I am worry about security with everything moving to iCloud ...
    How can I control the security of my contacts, back up space, etc.

    Go to System Preferences>iCloud - there is an indicator at the bottom of the pane showing how much of your storage you are using.
    The basic account of 5GB is free. Additional storage for Backup, Documents etc: additional 10GB, $20 p.a., 20 GB, $40 p.a., 50GB $100 p.a. (note that this is not iDisk-type storage for any type of file).
    iWork is a set of three programs available in Mac and iOS versions - Pages, Numbers and Keynote. iwork.com was an online storage for posting iWork documents - it's closed and its functions superceded by iCloud.
    Your iCloud account is as secure as your password, so make sure it's a strong one - at least 8 characters (12 is better), one of which must be lower case, one upper case and one a numeral (no odd characters), and not your birthday, dog's name, or 'password'!

  • I have a iPad 3 it's 32g and nothing is wrong with i I was wondering how much money i can sell it for

    I Have a white iPad 3 it's 32g it has no scrates on it these nothing wrong with it so I was wondering how much I can get for it?

    Last I knew, Best Buy and Amazon will give you store credit for used devices and they have online estimation tools. (neither place guarantees the actual payout until they physically look at the device)
    Gazelle.com also offers cash for used devices. You can at least use these services to get an idea how much you can get out of your device
    When you look on ebay don't pay attention to how much people are asking for their devices, look at what they're actually selling for.
    You will probably get more money selling it yourself rather than to a third party.
    read this before you sell it so you don't accidentally sell someone a brick

  • I have apple care for my iPhone 5. My screen smashed. I was wondering how much it will cost me for them to fix it or replace it. Or is it covered under applecare

    I have apple care for my iPhone 5. My screen smashed. I was wondering how much it will cost me for them to fix it or replace it. Or is it covered under applecare

    AppleCare Protection Plan does not cover physical damage and you will have to pay for an out of warranty replacement.
    AppleCare+ also does not cover physical damage but does give you 2 incidents to use for a situation such as this which provides a further discount to a normal out of warranty replacement fee.

    Sorry, iPhones exposed to Salt Water, are pretty much destroyed. Salt Water is one of the most corrosive elements there is.
    Make an appointment at any Apple store & they will do an out of warranty exchange for US $269.

  • How will you do for November pay roll before release the Note:2082383.

    < Japanese translation is below.>
    Dear Experts (Especially for Responsible for Japan pay roll),
    Please le me know how you will deal with November pay roll before releasing note:2082383.
    (The legal change of non-taxable amount of Commuting Allowance for Car.)
    Note 2082383 is going to be released by SAP on November 30.
    However, Japanese low has effected since October 20 2014.
    How will you deal for November pay roll for Japan before note releasing ?
    Will you change V_T5J64 table by your self according to Cabinet Order #338?
    Or will you just wait until SAP releasing this note ?
    Do you think that SAP will provide any report for this recovery way for November pay roll if we wait SAP note releasing ?
    Regards,
    Mayumi
    < Japanese version >
    Expertの皆様
    先日、官報#338が出され、10/20 より施行されていると存じます。
    SAPの当該ノートは11月30日にしかリリースされないようですが、皆様、11月の給与はどのように行いますか?
    V_T5J64を官報の情報に合わせて変更し、当座11月の給与を回しますか?
    それともSAPのノートリリースを待ちますか?
    SAPのノートリリースでは、11月の給与が古い方法で施行されたことによるリカバリレポートなど出るのでしょうか?
    以上、皆様の対応方法をお尋ねいたしたく。
    よろしくお願いいたします。
    Mayumi

    Hi,
    Ask SAP directly with regards to the way they will handle this and whether they will produce a report to recover. Speak to the Japanese revenue and explain to them that you are in this predicament and I am sure they will be able to give you a leeway till November, but still be able to report on the Oct figures.
    Off course you can try the config changes yourself. Pilot the note in Dev and see if the figures make any sense. But this will be dual work as when the note gets released in Nov you will have to revisit your configs and undergo a complete check. Get in touch with SAP in my opinion!

  • I recently got a used macbook pro, and the backlight on the keyboard doesn't light up all the way, I was wondering how much it would cost to get it fixed..

    MacBook pro keyboard doesn't light up all the way, I don't know why and I was wondering how much it could cost for repairs.

    If there is Warranty or AppleCare it will be covered at Apple Store. If no coverage, Apple does not repair iPhone 4 Power/Lock Button, for $149 they will give you a perfect replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours with a 90 day Warranty. For the time being or as a permanent solution you can use perfect Virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap the new small white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even use this button to turn the iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, ie charger or USB port of computer.

  • How much I repair for my Macpro 13inch damage Motherboard by liquid?

    How much I repair for my Macpro 13inch damage Motherboard by liquid in singapore?

    One thing to keep in mind is that any electronic component inside your computer could be damaged, so you could end up paying to replace a lot of other parts later. (You also may not... it's a bit of a gamble.) It's your decision whether to repair or not, of course, but I personally would never consider repairing a computer with liquid damage. I would consider it a loss and would just replace it.
    BTW, hope the smog is clearing up where you are!

    If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.
