• Can I use Flash, Shockwave, Java Applets, Javascript?
  All of these are client side programs and scripts. You can use and host all of them on your Oceania hosting account.
  
  
• Do you provide audio/video streaming capability?
  Yes, you can use HTTP streaming. We do not provide real audio/video server. However you can upload your 'real media' content and use HTTP streaming. For more details see below.
  
  
• How do I use HTTP streaming for RealAudio and RealVideo?
   
  The HTTP protocol enables audio and video content providers to stream RealAudio and RealVideo from a World Wide Web server. While this method is not as robust or efficient as using a RealAudio Server, it provides a reasonable method for delivering RealAudio content.

To stream RealMedia content using HTTP:

1. Copy your encoded RealAudio or RealVideo files (files with the .ra or .rm extensions) to your World Wide Web server.
2. Use a text editor (such as Notepad) to create a metafile containing a RealAudio URL. For example, the contents of your file should be in the following form:

   http://yourdomain.com/path/file.ra

   or

   http://yourdomain.com/path/file.rm

   where yourdomain.com is the name of your World Wide Web server. For example:

3. Save your metafile in as text using a .ram filename extension.
4. In your HTML document, reference the metafile in a hyperlink. For example:

   <A HREF="filename.ram">

   or

   <A HREF="http://yourdomain.com/file.ram">

   You can use relative or complete paths. If you use complete paths, you must include both the yourdomain.com and the complete path. For example:

   <A HREF="http://yourdomain.com/directory/file.ram">

5. When a user clicks on the link, the audio file(s) begin to download. The RealAudio Player begins playing after a few seconds; it does not need to wait for the entire file to be downloaded.
