Customers of torchwoodhosting.com who decided to get licensed via any 3rd party company are hereby advised that most of these licensing company's relay your radio stream to their own stream which means (since most require you to use their player(s)) if you have a music issue IE buffering, loss of music, or song names not showing up right, etc.... that you will first check your radio cpanel to make sure the issue is not with the server its self (ie if the music playes fine on your radio cpanel but not on your licensing company's players then the issue is on their end now if its not working on the cpanel then it is our end and/or you or your dj's end if it is the server you should contact us and we will work to fix the issue. If the issue is on your licensing company's end we can not fix that you will have to contact there tech support). We try to maintain our servers in a way where there should be very little issues for you but sometimes things happen like net backbone issues, congestion issues (especially during holidays), and or course hackers who attack our servers all of these are beyond our control so we do ask for you patience we do understand that it is frustrating when an issue happens normally we are on the issues as soon as they occur but some issues cant be fixed in an instant we work to fix them as fast as we can!
Web Servers Only - Torchwoodhosting.com will not host any web site that is Pornographic, Illegal, or infringes on the intellectual property rights of another. Any Web site found to to be in violation of this or any laws will be removed and NO REFUNDS will be issued for the server.
This does not apply to radio servers playing on websites because torchwoodhosting.com has no control over what is played on the radio servers it is the responsibility of the radio server owner to obtain all the proper licensing for content played on a radio server. torchwoodhosting.com CAN NOT be held liable for the content of what is played on audio servers even if the web site is hosted by us.
We regularly check and monitor all web servers sold at torchwoodhosting.com for porn and illegal file sharing and other things but we have no control over the content played on radio server even if the web site/radio server is hosted by us!
ALL SUPPORT ISSUES are to be done either though the Billing system support requests via Yahoo messanger, Skype, email may not get answered. If you are contacting us for support always include your name, phone number, your server name and your real port number! This helps us quickly find your server to check on your issue and resolve it not having this info could cause any problems to last longer because we have to figure out what server/port is having the issue before we can fix it!
Payments made for someone else on a server:
torchwoodhosting.com will not get in between disputes between who we have as the registered server owner and the person who pays for someone's server.
If you are paying for someone's server then you have an agreement between you and that person and you further agree that torchwoodhosting.com does NOT have a contract with you, our contract is with the registered owner of that server
You Further Agree that torchwoodhosting.com's Job is to Provide you the Customer with an Audio Server and is NOT RESPONSIBLE for maintaining, filling, or providing you with any additional support on Servers with an Auto DJ beyond the Initial training of you when you purchased your server. Additionally if you require more Training on how to fill, or use the Auto DJ, then there will be an additional charge of $20 per hour billed in 1 hour increments for additional Training on How to use, or fill the Auto DJ, Depending on your Payment History this charge may be required up front or billed with your regular monthly payment, Refusal to pay this charge can and will be considered grounds for Server Suspension/Termination at torchwoodhosting.com's discretion. By Purchasing an audio server with torchwoodhosting.com you are agreeing to this Provision in the TOS Further more these Training Charges are NON REFUNDABLE you will be Told Up front and it will be logged in our support logs of your acceptance of this charge (For Legal Purposes only) before any Training is started.
All Servers are billed US Dollars, if you are in another county it will be your responsibility to make sure your payment is enough
to cover your Server payment at the current exchange rate.
If you get more then one server from us and you fail to pay for any one server (unless you cancel the server before it gets suspended) then all servers you have at our option (does not matter if the other servers are paid up or not) may be subject to suspension also and any servers that were paid the money may go towards what is owed on the server you did not pay on before it was suspended. It will be at our option if we decide to allow you to just pay the server that was suspended + the late charge of $10.00 or require payment on all suspended (prorated for the rest of the month remaining) + $10.00 reactivation fee on each server.
I'm sorry but people have been using us as free servers and not paying and we have to put a stop to it. We make every attempt to contact an owner before suspending a server and if we do not get anything back we can only assume you do not want the server any more.
All Servers are Due on your due date (Terms are Net 1 meaning you have 1 days from the due date to pay) on the 1st day after your due date your server will be suspended at or around midnight and if suspended and pay your server bill invoice your server will be re activated (radio servers with auto dj will require you to go login and restart your auto dj)! 2 DAYS AFTER THAT IF WE DO NOT HEAR FROM YOU THEN YOUR SERVER WILL BE TERMINATED! (All files in auto dj will be lost and can not be recovered!)
If your server gets suspended (and turned back on) 2 months in a row you may be required to pay an additional month (deposit) so your server will have pre-paid status in our accounting records, if you choose to terminate your server with us before the end of a month (and you give us 30 day notice Prior to your prepaid month) then we will refund your deposit but if you wait till the due date then that deposit you paid is NON-REFUNDABLE.
In the past we have tried to be the nice guys, we understand that sometimes expenses come up that you can't control but we have had too many people abuse our "being nice" and well its been costing us money to have servers running that do not pay and use them for 2 or 3 weeks before we turn them off. You wouldn't ignore your electric bill or your car payment so why ignore your server payment!
There will be only ONE extension given on server payments in a 60 day time frame, if it exceeds the 1 days past your due date! If you can pay it by the 1st day then you are good just let us know it will be coming send us an email at [email protected] and even if were not there you can always leave us a message.
I'm sorry we are having to start getting strict with our rules but we have too many customers who either have not paid or have just decided to use us for a free server. I'm sorry but the bad apples have spoiled it for every one. If your SERVER has been paid or is paid up then this is JUST FYI information for you about our new billing system and I thank you for keeping your account up to date!
ALL SUPPORT and BILLING Questions/Payment arrangements are to go though the Support Ticket System (preferred method) that is built in to the Billing system!
(http://torchwoodhosting.com) We keep a history on the chats and we can go back and verify what was said by you or any employee of our company! Any support that is done via yahoo messenger or other form of communication will not be verifiable and will not be valid as far as torchwoodhosting.com management is concerned. PLEASE use the LIVE SUPPORT system or the Support Ticket System that is built in to the Billing system that is what we bought it for to help make things easier for all of us!
Speaking of Live support if you are in a chat and you do not like what that person is telling you you can ask to be transferred to either the Owner or Co-owner (if we are online), if we are not online then the representative will get your name, phone number, station name and email and they will leave us a message to get in contact with when we can. Just note that it may be 24 to 48 hours or more before we can respond in some cases as we too have personal life's you know.
You are always welcome to use our email [email protected] if you want to contact us too I check the email every day when I come home from work (be sure to include your station name, your name, and what you need in the email).
Buffering Issues:
If your station is buffering I will almost guarantee that it is the DJ on airs machine or the fact that your have too many cams running in/on your lounge/site!
Also not that when using a flash player that if you open another page or do something else on your computer while listening to the flash player it can cause the player (not the server) to skip, pause, or otherwise not sound right. This is not a buffering issue it is a computer/flash issue in most cases flash is a very low process on a pc's list and if it needs a time slice in order to complete a task it will take it from flash and when it's done it will give that time slice back to the flash player. Again it is not buffering it is just a fact of life and there is nothing torchwoodhosting.com can do to prevent it as its a flash issue not a server issue
Make sure your encoder is set to Medium Quality or Fast Re-sampling not Hi-Quality as this causes the SAM program to use more resources to re-sample the music to a higher rate.
Make sure that your not trying to Download music, Be in several lounges at the same time, and that you have the player off in the lounge your DJing in. Yes I know a lot of you say how do I know I'm buffering if I don't listen to the music in the lounge, thatâ??s an easy answer look at your encoder box if it says "unable to send data fast enough....." then its buffering and that also tells you that your loading your machine down with too much running, close a few things if that does not help them lower your stream rate just cause you have a 96kbs server does not mean you have to stream at 96kbs try 64kbs or lower.
Most people are on cable and most pay for basic internet which has an up stream of 128kbs, lets say your streaming at 96kbs then that 128-96=32kbs left, if you have a file sharing program running and people are downloading from you then that lets say approx 16kbs more being used (128-96-32=16kbs) so now were down to 16kbs left now lets say is 5kbs no now its down to 11kbs, talking on yahoo and sending pics or music is another 5kbs now were down to 6 kbs left, you have photo bucket open and are working there theres another 2 kbs so were down to 4 kbs, yahoo mail or outlook express checking mail theirs another 2kbs leaving you 2 kbs, and finally then your surfing the web, rating peoples pages and pics, thatâ??s another 3 kbs so now your -1kbs and poof there goes the SAM program saying "unable to send data fast enough...." and your buffering.....
Now those numbers are not set in stone they are just an approximation of normal usage but I think you get the Idea though, every thing you do on the web always uses some of you upstream and when it gets close to your max something has to give and normally its sams so keep that in mind next time you hear a DJ say its buffering and tell them to close some of the things there doing or lower there rate some 100% of time that will solve the issue.
If you do experience buffering issues and the above is not the issue we recommend logging into your server control panel and stopping the auto then the server its self give it about 30 seconds to 1 min then start your server and the auto dj. This can solve many issues as well as clear out log files that are used inside of your servers. We recommend doing this either every month or every 2 months!
Some people have issues not being fast enough to kick and start there encoder, in this case I can only suggest that your work with the DJ and try to get them to speed up theres nothing we can do to help you with this issue!
We suggest that if you are using a SonicPanel server that you use the DJ manager to avoid this issue as you only need to start your encoder to take air and do not need the kick page at all! (NOTE: if another DJ has the air and you start your encoder you will get an error message, the other DJ must drop air let it go back to auto dj then you can take the air!
