Bandit is now able to offer you four special deals to get your music noticed by millions. All offers include 100 unique e-mail POP3 accounts and unlimited e-mail addresses. This means that each band member can access his/her own e-mail at home on their own computer. You could get rid of your old e-mail addresses and have something like bob@the-wailers.co.uk instead. None of our hosting offers require you to show adverts or have pop-up windows linking to us. However you are more than welcome to apply to become an affiliate of Bandit to benefit financially from your site.
For 60 Pounds Sterling you get 250Mb web space enough to put around 100 music tracks on the internet using streaming media including Real Audio. Real Audio is a means of compressing music for the internet. Tracks are heard as they download rather than having to wait for the whole track to come down from cyberspace before you can hear it. This is known as streaming media and the facility comes as standard with our web hosting. To hear what we mean by streaming media click here. This link will take you to a track from Penny Foster This is the most compact version suitable for a 56.6k modem which is of similar quality to AM radio. Typically this track takes less than 10 seconds before it starts. You can have different compressions for different internet connections so that people with broadband connections can hear your work in near CD quality stereo sound. In addition you get a co.uk, org.uk or me.uk domain included in the deal. Com, net and org domains are £10 extra.
For 100 pounds sterling you get all the above but we will do the technical part of the real audio streaming for you on up to 12 tracks.
