Why Choose Shoutcast Net for Icecast Hosting?
The difference between basic hosting and professional broadcasting infrastructure
60-Second Setup
No server configuration, no terminal commands, no DNS setup. Click "Create Server", get credentials, start streaming. Self-hosted Icecast takes 8+ hours to configure properly.
FREE AutoDJ Included
Upload unlimited music, create playlists, schedule shows, automate fallback content. Runs 24/7 even when you're offline. Self-hosted solutions cost $15-50/month extra.
Real-Time Analytics
Live listener counts, geographic maps, device types, listening duration, peak times. Icecast's basic status page shows almost nothing—ours shows everything.
FREE SSL Certificates
Automatic HTTPS streaming for web players and mobile apps. Apple requires SSL for iOS apps—we handle it automatically. Self-hosting requires Let's Encrypt setup and renewal scripts.
24/7 Live Support
Real humans available via live chat and email, not forum posts from 2012. Need help at 3 AM? We're here. Self-hosted means Googling error messages alone.
Unlimited Bandwidth
No overage fees, no throttling during traffic spikes, no surprise bills. Most VPS providers charge $0.10-0.50/GB beyond included limits—we don't.

Common questions about our managed Icecast hosting
What Broadcasters Say
Real experiences from stations that migrated from self-hosted Icecast
"I spent years managing my own Icecast server. Every few months something would break—SSL expired, server updates failed, bandwidth limits hit. Shoutcast Net just works. I wish I'd switched sooner."
"The AutoDJ alone is worth the price. I was paying $30/month for AzuraCast hosting on top of my VPS costs. Shoutcast Net costs less than what I was paying before and includes everything."
"Migration was scary but their support team walked me through everything. Took 20 minutes total. Now I have better analytics, automatic backups, and I'm saving $40/month compared to my old setup."
