Dedicated Cloud Instance Instead of Mass Hosting

STREAMPANEL is not a budget host or mass host. Providers that pack hundreds of customers onto the same server suffer immediate performance drops when multiple stations reach high listener numbers simultaneously.

At STREAMPANEL, every web radio project receives an isolated cloud instance with a dedicated load balancer.

• Audio quality up to 320 kbps: All plans include full 320 kbps standard audio quality without surcharge.
• Transparent pricing: Starter packages begin at 30 EUR per month for 100 listener slots.
• For everyone from beginners to pros: SPCast is designed for easy operation by users of any skill level.
• Personal onboarding support: Customer support assists new users step by step with the initial setup until they operate independently.

SPCast Control Panel

Instead of relying on third-party software, we build and maintain our own control panel called SPCast.

Manage streams, mountpoints, and broadcast times directly in the browser. Upload audio files, set up rotation schedules, and configure crossfading for 24/7 continuous play (AutoDJ currently in MP3 format). Live presenters connect directly to the AutoDJ without stream interruptions for listeners.

Listener statistics, MP3 and AAC+ transcoders, and stream protection features like IP bans, geo-filtering, and token protection are included.

Proprietary Server Engine

In addition to the control panel, the streaming server itself is an in-house development by STREAMPANEL. The server engine uses an HLS-first architecture for stable audio playback across all end devices and remains fully backward-compatible with SHOUTcast (V1/V2) and Icecast (V2/KH).

Streaming over standard ports 80 and 443 is included in the SPCast standard. Restrictive firewalls in corporate or institutional networks do not block streaming connections.

All available broadcasting software solutions can connect directly (including mAirList, SAM Broadcaster, VirtualDJ, Traktor, Serato, Mixxx, BUTT, OBS Studio, and mobile apps). If a specific software or custom integration is needed, our proprietary engine allows rapid addition.

Listeners can play the stream using the web player on your website, on mobile devices (iOS and Android), smart TVs, or WLAN internet radios.
