SHOUTcast is easy to use and works with a huge range of existing radio software. Connect your encoder, start the stream and your listeners can tune in using a web player, app or direct stream link.
We host stations of all sizes, from people broadcasting from a spare room through to established FM and digital stations. You don’t need to worry about maintaining the server itself – that’s our job.
