Shoutcast FAQ
We love internet radio hosting, so much so, all of our staff members run their own online radio stations as well.
By choosing Gecko, you're not just choosing another hosting company, rather a large family of broadcasters always ready to help each other out.
Shoutcast or Icecast?
These days, SHOUTcast servers and Icecast servers are almost identical in their feature set.
However, if you're just starting out in online radio and building an audience, we recommend SHOUTcast.
SHOUTcast.com offers the Internet's largest directory of online radio stations. Get your station listed in the Shoutcast directory today!
How much bandwidth?
You might be asking yourself, “how much bandwidth do I need for my Internet radio station?"
Online radio stations can use extreme amounts of bandwidth in certain circumstances, but don't worry, we have got you covered with our unlimited Shoutcast plans! (Icecast too!)
