There are lots of free, open source streaming audio server solutions that you could install on a DigitalOcean server. A quick Googling produces:
In terms of bandwidth, here are some basic calculations on how much outgoing bandwidth would be used, based on number of listeners and bitrate of your audio: keep in mind, constant listener means streaming 24/7, 30 days per month!
| . | Streaming at 96kbps | Streaming at 128kbps | Streaming at 320kbps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 constant listener | 31GB monthly bandwidth | 41.5GB mon. bandwidth | 104GB mon. bandwidth |
| 10 constant listeners | 310GB monthly bandwidth | 415GB mon. bandwidth | 1.04TB mon. bandwidth ($5 droplet max) |
| 100 constant listeners | 3.10TB monthly bandwidth (~$20 droplet max) | 4.15TB mon. bandwidth (~$40 droplet max) | 10TB mon. bandwidth (crazy!) |
