How Shoutcast hosting works.

02

Connect your broadcasting software

Use SAM Broadcaster, RadioDJ, Virtual DJ, BUTT, Mixxx, or any Shoutcast-compatible encoder. Enter your server address and password, and you're live.

03

Share your stream

Give listeners your stream URL or embed our free radio player on your website. They tune in with any media player that supports Shoutcast.

Compatible with your favorite software.

Shoutcast hosting FAQ.

Which Shoutcast version do you support?

We run Shoutcast v2 servers by default. v1 is also available if your encoder or broadcasting software requires it. You can switch between Shoutcast v1, v2, and Icecast anytime from your control panel.

Can I upload music directly?

Shoutcast hosting is a relay server: you broadcast from your own software and we distribute the stream to your listeners. If you want to upload tracks and automate your programming, you have two options: add the AutoDJ addon for $8/mo to get cloud-based playlist automation, or upgrade to the CloudRadio One plan for a complete all-in-one station with HLS streaming and unlimited listeners.

Can I change my listener count later?

Yes, you can scale your listener slots up or down at any time from your control panel. Billing adjusts automatically.

Do you provide a stream URL with SSL?

Yes, every Shoutcast server includes an HTTPS stream URL at no extra cost. This is required for embedding on modern websites and apps.
