Yes. Live plans include 1 GB or 2 GB of AutoDJ storage, depending on the plan, so your station can continue playing when you are offline.
Yes. Your service includes a secure listening URL suitable for modern browsers, websites and supported radio players.
Your stable upload speed should comfortably exceed your selected bitrate. A wired connection is recommended for reliable live broadcasting.
Simultaneous listeners are people connected to your stream at the same moment; this is not the total number of listeners your station can reach over a day or month. Live Premium and Live Ultimate support up to 1,000 simultaneous listeners on shared hosting. If your station needs more than 1,000 concurrent connections, contact us for a dedicated streaming solution designed for your audience size and bitrate.
Your Live plan has no fixed monthly transfer allowance, so normal station growth does not result in a per-gigabyte bandwidth charge. Unmetered bandwidth is provided under a reasonable-use policy; if sustained usage affects shared infrastructure, we will contact you to discuss the appropriate solution.
RadioDJ services run on robust network infrastructure with effective DDoS protection designed to detect and mitigate malicious traffic while keeping legitimate listeners connected. Protection is included with every Live hosting plan. Learn how streaming protection works.
