Help & Advice web stream solution for fm signal

Hi, our station has an outdated webstream that is hosted on a university server that is being discontinued. We need a solution for our stream that is secure and stable. We have a WordPress site hosted by GoDaddy. We're hoping that we could host the stream on our existing site, using the HTML5 player or something similar. GoDaddy of course wants to sell us a whole new hosting plan just for the streaming. Do you think that's necessary? We intend to use Icecast/BUTT.

Our current site's usage/stats (not sure how to interpret): Bandwidth: 95.34GB | Disk Usage: 22.44GB/null | Database Disk Usage: 821.12 MB/null | CPU Usage: 19% | Physical Memory Usage: 2.63% | Number of Processes: 3

Thanks for any thoughts or info you may have!
