Which server setups are available?
Learn all about SPCast streaming instances, DataDachs web hosting, multi-datacenter failover, and high-availability setups for web radio.
STREAMPANEL delivers specialized infrastructure architectures tailored to the specific needs of contemporary web radio broadcasters and online communities. We deliberately isolate audio streaming, web hosting, team voice communication, and real-time chat onto purpose-built platforms.
Core Infrastructure Platforms
Depending on your broadcasting workflow, we provide dedicated platforms engineered to work seamlessly together:
- SPCast (Audio Streaming & AutoDJ): Isolated cloud instances for live streaming, HLS delivery, real-time transcoding, listener statistics, and playlist automation.
- DataDachs (Web Hosting & CMS): Hardened NVMe SSD web hosting with LiteSpeed Enterprise, CloudLinux, CageFS, and cPanel for radio websites, databases, and mail.
- TeamSpeaks (Voice Servers): Low-latency TeamSpeak 3 voice servers for station management, editorial coordination, and on-air presenter cues.
- SPChat (Community Web Chat): Modern real-time web chat widget for embedding into station websites and streaming players.
SPCast: Isolated Cloud Instances
Unlike conventional shared multi-tenant stream servers, every SPCast project operates within its own isolated cloud instance. This design offers crucial operational advantages:
1. Dedicated Compute and I/O Resources
Each instance receives dedicated CPU, memory, and fast NVMe SSD storage allocations. High listener traffic or intensive playlist rendering on one station will never affect your own broadcast stream.
2. Elastic Slot Scaling
The standard SPCast package begins with 100 listener slots and 50 GB of storage. You can seamlessly scale your capacity to 250, 500, 1,000, or several thousand concurrent listeners as your audience grows.
3. Comprehensive Protocol Support
A single instance natively delivers SHOUTcast v1/v2, Icecast 2/KH, and modern HLS streaming from a single central media repository and dashboard.
DataDachs: High-Performance Web Hosting
Radio station websites require a fundamentally different server architecture than real-time audio streams. Through DataDachs, we operate an optimized web hosting environment:
- LiteSpeed Enterprise Web Server: Delivers dynamic content (such as WordPress or WEB-PHP CMS) up to 10 times faster than standard Apache servers.
- CloudLinux and CageFS Isolation: Each hosting account is strictly isolated within its own virtualized file system, guaranteeing dedicated CPU, RAM, and disk I/O limits while preventing cross-account security risks.
- NVMe SSD Storage: Rapid database responses for broadcast schedules, track request forms, staff directories, and listener top charts.
- Automated Free SSL Certificates: Automatic issuance and continuous renewal of Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates for all domains and subdomains.
High-Availability and Failover Architectures
For commercial radio stations, syndicated broadcast networks, and mission-critical audio feeds, we provide advanced redundancy solutions:
Multi-Datacenter Failover
Your broadcast audio stream is mirrored across multiple physically separated tier-3+ datacenter facilities (such as Frankfurt and Nuremberg/Falkenstein). If an upstream transit issue occurs at one location, edge relays and web players switch to the backup facility without audible disruption.
Intelligent Network Routing
Anycast and GeoDNS mechanisms automatically direct listeners to the geographically closest and lowest-latency edge nodes.
Multi-Terabit DDoS Protection
Every server location is shielded by carrier-grade multi-layer DDoS filtering capable of scrubbing several terabits per second. Layer 3, 4, and 7 attacks are mitigated automatically before reaching your application layer.
Selecting the Right Server Architecture
- New Radio Station: Start with the SPCast base plan (100 listener slots, 50 GB storage) alongside an entry-level DataDachs web hosting account for your website.
- Established Broadcaster: Choose an upgraded SPCast tier (500+ slots) with multiple transcoding streams and a high-tier DataDachs hosting plan.
- Broadcasting Network: We can design custom multi-server clusters with dedicated edge relays and load balancing across Europe.
