Your next project. Well connected.

Take the first step towards launching your very own Internet Radio with our affordable Icecast Hosting plans. Icecast is our recommended platform of choice as it has no limitations to it whatsoever and is a completely opensource, community-driven project.

Our Icecast plans not only offer affordability but also operate on a robust server infrastructure, ensuring stable and uninterrupted streaming for both your listeners and your broadcasters. We also try to pack as many included features as possible into our plans, covering almost any requirement you might have.

With our IceCast Hosting plans, we provide the option to select between either AzuraCast or CentovaCast control panels, empowering you to choose the control panel that best aligns with your specific streaming requirements.

Icecast is opensource software that has been around since 1999 and is supported by thousands of internet radio’s worldwide due to its extensive feature list, which mainly includes multiple supported media formats and the ability to uniquely mount your radio between different servers. We use IceCast alongside Centova Cast to offer a full-featured radio platform for our users to use, which adds extra features like Auto-DJ and Pre-Made Widgets.

AutoDJ & Media Library

Easily drag-and-drop music, albums and artists all in one central control panel with the ability to easily schedule song rotation and switch between your media library and live radio. Streaming Accounts will also gain direct FTP access to upload songs and albums from third party FTP clients.

Does Icecast support AAC?

Yes, Icecast fully supports the AAC media format. AAC is an extremely efficient high-quality media format and we recommend using it for your broadcast.

Can I connect to Auto-DJ from my own source for live broadcasts?

What are your bandwidth port speeds and average usage?

Our servers network port can burst up to 10 Gbps if necessary. We keep usage at a maximum of 10-20% at all times per server, allowing up to 80% of the network port to be free at all times for any surges in traffic.

Can I connect remotely to Icecast with my own encoder (Radio Broadcaster, Mixx, etc)?

Yes you can – All our streaming plans come with the ability to connect with your own encoder, allowing you to broadcast in real-time from your own computer.

What is a streaming control panel?

A streaming control panel, such as AzuraCast or CentovaCast, is a web-based interface that allows you to manage and control various aspects of your online radio station. It serves as a centralized hub where you can handle key operations related to broadcasting, playlist management, scheduling, and listener analytics.

Can I schedule playlists?

Audio broadcasting with an Icecast server

Check your encoder's supported audio formats, mount-point setup and listener requirements. Plan separate credentials for administration and broadcasting, and confirm how fallback audio will be handled.

Connect the stream to your website

Use a compatible player and test access over secure connections where supported. Check the live stream on mobile networks and document the endpoint and restart process for station staff.

How do I choose between Icecast and Shoutcast?

Compare your encoder, required formats, player compatibility and management needs. The station's existing workflow often helps determine the more suitable platform; capacity and support should also be compared.
