Audio servers for radio
Icecast and Shoutcast receive the programme from your studio and distribute it to online listeners. We prepare the server setup for your main programme, themed channels or a new online station.
Streaming servers and hosting
Audio and video streaming servers.
You create the content. We look after server-side distribution. We provide Icecast and Shoutcast audio streaming servers and Wowza video streaming services: connecting your source, delivering your programme to listeners and viewers, and providing maintenance and technical support.
A server service for your media operation
Your source. Our streaming servers. Your audience.
Video servers for your content
Our Wowza streaming service receives your video source and connects it with viewers. Together, we define the server configuration, streaming quality and destinations where your content will be available.
Maintenance as part of the service
You do not have to set up and manage the server infrastructure yourself. We handle the agreed configuration, maintenance, monitoring and technical support, giving your team a contact for any issues.
Icecast and Shoutcast audio streaming servers
Online radio without managing a server yourself
Your studio sends its radio programme to a streaming server. Listeners open it through your website, an app or another agreed destination. The server receives the source and handles distribution to the audience, connecting your studio output with online listening.
We set up and maintain Icecast and Shoutcast around your station's needs. Together, we define the number of channels, audio quality, expected audience and connection setup. Use your existing studio or prepare a dedicated online programme.
You receive a configured server service and help connecting your source. Your team can focus on the programme, while server settings and maintenance are handled through the agreed support service.
What we prepare for your station
- A streaming server for your main programme and agreed additional channels.
- The settings needed to connect your audio source.
- Distribution to your agreed listening destinations.
- A backup source or response if the main source stops, according to the configuration.
- Maintenance, monitoring and technical support within the agreed scope.
Wowza video streaming servers
Server-side distribution for your video programme
Connect your own video source to a streaming server and make it available to viewers.
Our Wowza service connects your production output with server-side distribution. You prepare the picture and sound; we configure the server, help connect the source and agree how the video reaches your audience. The service is designed for teams that have their own video content and need the infrastructure to deliver it to viewers.
Before setup, we review your source, available connection, desired quality, expected audience and intended period of use. We then prepare the configuration and service scope. Streaming can connect to your website and apps; specific destinations and presentation are agreed for your project.
How you use a streaming server
From your source to listeners and viewers
Your programme
You prepare audio or video on your equipment. Together, we check the content output and the internet connection you use to send it.
Server connection
We configure the server to receive your content and help connect your source. We check that audio or video reaches the server correctly.
Server distribution
Icecast, Shoutcast or Wowza handles programme distribution to your audience according to the agreed configuration and service capacity.
Audience access
Listeners and viewers open the content through a connected website, app or another destination. We check the route from source to end user.
Connect streaming with the rest of your work
A server within your media system
Alongside the server service, we can help plan how you prepare your programme and how your audience accesses it. Connections and individual solutions are agreed around your station and existing equipment.

Streaming server questions
Do we need to own and maintain a server?
You use our service for the server side. We agree on setup, maintenance and support. You provide the audio or video source and the connection that sends it; we help check the complete connection path.
Can we use our existing equipment?
We first review your source and how it sends content. We then define the configuration and any adjustments needed to connect it to an Icecast, Shoutcast or Wowza server.
Can the stream appear on our website and in our app?
Yes. We agree how to connect the stream to your destinations. Player design, controls and additional features are defined separately for the project and chosen platforms.
What if the programme stops reaching the server?
Monitoring and diagnostics help distinguish between source, connection and server issues. We plan a backup source and a response to interruptions around your needs and agreed configuration.
How do you prepare a server quote?
We consider whether you need audio or video, the number of channels, streaming quality, expected audience and required support. Describe your current system and intended use, and we will suggest the service scope.
