However you can stream on VPS/dedicated server.

Important Considerations:
- The size of the files you’ll be streaming and the number of people who will be watching/listening to them simultaneously.
- The purpose of your hosting account: do you plan to have one website which streams audio/video or do you plan on hosting a lot of sites with various software and send lots of email as well?
