Internet Radio Hosting Without a Bill That Grows With Your Audience.
A real streaming server with SHOUTcast or Icecast, AutoDJ to keep you on air around the clock, and a control panel you can actually use. Bandwidth is unmetered, and listener limits run from 160 to unlimited depending on the plan.

What Internet Radio Hosting
Actually Is.
A radio host runs a streaming server that takes your audio and delivers it to everyone listening. You broadcast to it from software on your computer, or you upload a music library and let AutoDJ play it while you are away.
Listeners connect through a link, a player on your website, a mobile app or a directory. The server handles the copies, which is why you do not need a fast connection at home. The control panel is where you upload music, build playlists, add presenters, see who is listening and get the stream address to share.
Sources
Who Runs an Internet Radio Station.
Reliable streaming for every type of broadcaster.
Community and Religious Stations
Broadcasting to a defined local or faith community, often with scheduled programmes and volunteer presenters. Reliability matters more than features.
Music Enthusiasts and Genre Stations
A curated library, a niche audience and a schedule that runs unattended for much of the week. AutoDJ and storage are the priorities.
Existing Stations Moving Host
A station whose platform raised prices, withdrew a free tier or started metering listening hours. They know exactly what they need and want a predictable bill.
Businesses and Venues
In store audio, branded music channels and event streams, where the station is part of a brand rather than the whole business.
Dedicated Radio Servers.
A whole machine for your station or network. The right choice for large listener counts, many stations, or when you need control over the whole environment.
Bare-metal CPUs
Unshared processing power for complex transcoding.
Unmetered Traffic
No monthly traffic cap; the port speed sets the listener ceiling.

Why the Pricing Model Matters
More Than the Feature List.
This is the thing most new broadcasters get wrong, so it is worth being direct about it. Some radio platforms charge by total listening hours and others by concurrent listener slots.
Both mean that the better your station does, the more you pay, and a busy night can either cost you money or turn listeners away at the door. Our plans work differently. You pay a flat monthly price for a bitrate and a listener limit, from 160 listeners to unlimited, with unmetered bandwidth, so a busy night never adds to your bill. For a station that is growing, that difference is usually larger than every feature comparison put together.
Flat Monthly Price
Each plan states its listener limit, and the Unlimited plans have none. Bandwidth is unmetered on every plan.
AutoDJ Included
Keep your station broadcasting around the clock with media library storage and scheduled playlists.
SSL Secured Streams
Free HTTPS stream URLs ensure playback without security warnings on modern websites and browsers.
Listener Statistics
Listener counts, peak times and listening history in the panel.
Your Own Control Panel
Intuitive management interface to handle playlists, live broadcasts, DJ accounts, and settings.
99.9 Percent Uptime
Our service level agreement commits to 99.9 percent uptime each month, with credits if we miss it.
Which Control Panel Should You Choose.
The panel is where you will spend all your time, so it is worth a moment. CentovaCast is the long established standard in radio hosting. It is stable, familiar to anyone who has worked in the industry, and strong on listener statistics and AutoDJ handling.
SonicPanel adds live jingles, voice inserts and text-to-voice announcements over the AutoDJ. If you are running a music station that mostly runs unattended, either works well. If you want to drop in live announcements regularly, SonicPanel is built for that. AzuraCast is free and open source, with a browser-based Web DJ.

Making a Station Pay for Itself.
Most stations start as a labour of love and many end up covering their costs. The usual routes are sponsorship from local businesses, listener support, presenter slots sold to other broadcasters, and advertising inserted into the automation.
What we can tell you honestly is that the hosting cost is the small part. The work is building an audience worth sponsoring. Keeping the hosting bill flat while that audience grows is the part we can actually help with.

What Every Station Asks First.
The questions broadcasters ask most, answered plainly before you pick a plan.
How much bandwidth do I need?
Bitrate times listeners. 100 listeners at 128 kbps need 12.8 Mbps, and each listener uses about 57.6 MB an hour. At 128 kbps, 1 GB of AutoDJ space holds about 260 four-minute songs.
Does my stream need HTTPS?
Yes, if your website uses HTTPS. Browsers block a plain http stream on a secure page, so the player stays silent. Our radio panels serve streams over HTTPS.
How do I go live?
Connect free tools such as BUTT or Mixxx with the details in your panel. AutoDJ steps aside while you are live and takes over again when you leave.
Do I need a music licence?
Hosting gives you the server; music licences are the broadcaster's responsibility, for example PPL and PRS in the UK, SoundExchange in the US, or PPL India and IPRS in India. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is the panel kept up to date?
Yes. Our panels run their latest releases: every server is checked for updates daily and audited monthly, and Icecast and the other streaming parts update with the panel.
Can you move my station from another panel?
Yes, as paid Hire an Expert work, for example from Centova Cast to AzuraCast with your music, playlists and settings. It is not part of free managed support, so ask us for a quote first.
