HTTP Streaming Multimedia Video & Audio
HTTP streaming, or progressive downloading is the simplest and cheapest way to stream multimedia video and audio from your website. With HTTP streaming you don’t need any expensive, special website or hosting package, just a good ISP which recognizes the multimedia file types you will be using. This, combined with the knowledge on how to upload your files to the server (FTP) and the ability to create hyperlinks on your web pages is all that you need. For those of us on a tight budget or who only have a few video files to stream, this is the best and cheapest alternative.
