Do your servers have a static IP?
Yes, all of our internet radio hosting servers use a dedicated static IP address. This guarantees a stable stream URL, reliable playback, and consistent performance for your listeners.
What is a static IP in radio hosting?
A static IP is a permanent address assigned to your streaming server. It never changes, and this ensures that your audio stream is always reachable. When a server uses a dynamic IP, the address can change and break the stream links in your players, directories, and apps.
Why a static IP is important for internet radio
- It keeps your streaming URL stable and reliable
- It prevents broken links on players, websites, and apps
- It improves compatibility with all radio apps and directories
- It helps search engines and services index your stream correctly
- It reduces listener drop-offs caused by unreachable streams
Included with all ShoutCheap streaming plans
