What is streaming?

The word streaming means your site or page is using multimedia on it, which is the use of music, videos, audio or similar files. The use of streaming is most popular in the listening to the radio online, or watching a music video or news online.

Streaming is done from the server where your website files are hosted. Streaming allows the information to be heard or seen without interruption, without downloading information to the users computer. Streaming allows those who are listening or using the information from the server to see the same thing, at the same time such as a radio station. Consider streaming to be instant use. Streaming doesn’t allow the user, listener or the watcher to save files on their computer, but to see, hear and listen at once.
