Hi Alex,

ok looking at your list of "haves" and "have nots" - here is what you will most certainly need:

A website hosting company, hopefully they will have some design tools to make your own page. There are literally thousands on the internet, some are free some are subscription based. if you have a look at http://www.moonfruit.com they are one that might suit you. In that webpage design you will need a way for people to listen to your stream, a player - there are again hundreds to choose from on the internet - but HTML5 player should be good for most modern browsers http://mediaelementsjs.com

A stream hosting company, once you setup your SamCast you will need a way of multiple listeners connecting to the stream. So you only sent one stream out of your broadband, and another company is responsible for multiplying that stream to the number of listeners you want / need. You can host a server yourself, but this is dangerous (it could be hacked and used to store anything - and it's your responsibility), and it will use up a lot of your broadband capacity.
<ADVERTISEMENT> Here at P Squared we have streaming servers on the UK internet backbone and have been streaming radio stations of all types and sizes for many years, contact us for more details.

Then all you need to do is hook the output of your mixer into the PC running SamCast and configure it to talk to the streaming server (details supplied by your provider).
Now in your web player, you code the link to the stream from your hosting provider.

Now you have an online radio station :-)

Hope this helps.
