Internet radio hosting.Live shows, Auto DJ, one panel.

A server that takes the audio from your encoder or your Auto DJ and hands it to every listener who opens your stream link. Ours gives each station its own Icecast server on our hardware in New York and Bucharest, an https link, a control panel, and the statistics and licensing records a station needs.

After a one-time $5 setup fee, yes: $0 a month for as long as the station runs. It carries live audio at up to 32 Kbps to 1,000 listeners at once. It has no storage and therefore no Auto DJ, so the station is on air while your encoder is connected and silent when it is not.

Up to 1,000 at once on Free, 2,500 on Premium and 5,000 on Platinum. Premium also includes 500,000 listener hours a month and Platinum 1.5 million, roughly 690 and 2,080 listeners around the clock. We email you at 80% and at 100%. At the allowance, new listeners wait for the 1st of the month or for an upgrade to Platinum, which applies at once; everyone already connected keeps listening. Bandwidth itself is not metered.

Yes, on every plan. Stations start on Icecast, and a classic SHOUTcast-protocol encoder such as RadioBOSS, SAM Broadcaster, Mixxx, BUTT or the old SHOUTcast DSP connects to the station's port plus one, with the server, port and password from your panel. Listeners hear it over https in any player.

Your station starts on Icecast, and one switch in your control panel moves it to a SHOUTcast DNAS 2.6 server, on every plan including Free, with its own DNAS admin and status pages, a listing in the SHOUTcast Directory, and every panel feature Icecast stations have.

Yes, on every plan. Each station has an https link on its own server, ny1.radio.serverroom.net in New York or buc1.radio.serverroom.net in Bucharest, with your port and mount. Platinum adds the station's CDN link, also https, on listen.radio.serverroom.net, which connects each listener to our nearest server. Browsers on https pages, mobile apps and desktop players all take them. SSL radio streaming, explained.

Premium and Platinum. Premium gives the library 20 GB and Platinum 100 GB, with hour clocks, schedules, crossfade and separation on both. Platinum adds loudness normalization, cue points, weighted rotation, requests and voice tracking.

Yes, on Premium and Platinum, not on Free. Any show in the Programs tab can go out as a podcast: each episode is one MP3 cut without the station IDs and commercials, which stay on air, listed in an RSS feed you submit once to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and the rest. Downloads are counted to the IAB guidelines, each podcast has its own page and an embeddable player, and you can sell podcast ads to your own advertisers, inserted when an episode is downloaded. Podcast hosting for radio stations.

Yes, from the Radio section of your dashboard. It stays the same station, and the new limits apply as soon as the upgrade is paid.

Stations are hosted in New York and Bucharest, on hardware we own, on our own network, AS19624. On Platinum the radio CDN then serves listeners and encoders from the nearest of five cities: New York, Bucharest, Amsterdam, Miami and San Francisco. If your licences cover only some countries, the station can be limited to them. How the radio CDN works.

Platinum. Its radio CDN serves each listener from the nearest of five cities: New York for North America, Miami for Latin America and the Caribbean, Amsterdam for Western Europe and North Africa, Bucharest for Eastern Europe, the Middle East, West Asia and South Asia, and San Francisco for Asia-Pacific. Your encoder goes in at the nearest city too, and a server that stops answering hands over to the next nearest city. How the radio CDN works.

If you play recorded music, yes, for the countries your listeners are in; in the United States that usually means the performing rights organizations and SoundExchange. Hosting does not include them. What every plan includes is the paperwork: the airplay log, sealed daily records, royalty reports and a place for your licences and rights declaration.

The Free plan's one-time setup fee is not refundable, because it pays for building the station. On a paid plan you can request a refund for any reason within three calendar days of activation. It is pro-rated at monthly pricing, less a 15% administrative fee; cryptocurrency payments are non-refundable. Details are in our refund policy.

Yes, 14 days on Premium and Platinum. You add a card or PayPal at checkout, the first charge comes when the trial ends, and cancelling before then costs nothing. Each new customer gets one trial, and a Free or Premium station gets one when it upgrades.
