Internet Radio Questions

Common questions about starting your station

Internet radio broadcasts audio over the internet rather than traditional AM/FM airwaves. Your station streams from our servers to listeners anywhere in the world via web browsers, mobile apps, or smart speakers. Listeners simply click a link or use an app to tune in—no special radio equipment needed. It's like having a global FM station accessible to billions of people.

With Shoutcast Net, internet radio hosting starts at just $4/month and includes unlimited concurrent listeners, AutoDJ automation, HTTPS streaming, analytics, mobile players, and 24/7 support. No equipment purchases, server rentals, or technical expertise required. Try free for 7 days to test everything before committing.

No special equipment needed! You can start with just a computer and internet connection. Our AutoDJ runs your station 24/7 automatically. For live shows, free DJ software like Mixxx or VirtualDJ works perfectly. No expensive broadcast equipment, transmitters, or technical training required.

Yes! All Shoutcast Net plans include truly unlimited concurrent listeners with no caps, throttling, or overage fees. Stream to 10, 100, or 10,000+ listeners simultaneously on any plan—even the $4/month Starter plan. Your infrastructure automatically scales with your audience.

Internet radio broadcasts live 24/7 with multiple shows and scheduled programming—listeners tune in to whatever's currently playing. Podcasts are pre-recorded episodes that listeners download or stream on-demand. Think of internet radio as live television and podcasts as Netflix. You can do both with Shoutcast Net!

Yes, if broadcasting copyrighted music. In the USA, you need licenses from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and SoundExchange (typically $500-2000/year depending on your audience). Each country has different organizations. Alternatively, use royalty-free music from services like Epidemic Sound, AudioJungle, or Creative Commons sources to avoid licensing costs entirely.
