Free Hosting for Hospitals & Charities
If you run hospital radio, a registered charity or a genuine non-profit project, the last thing you should be worrying about is whether you can afford decent hosting or a reliable radio stream.
Tell us what you do and who you support. If your organisation is eligible, Online Audience can provide free radio streaming and web hosting so more of your budget can stay focused on the people and communities you are actually there to help.
Eligible hospital radio stations and charities can use the service without the usual hosting cost.
If you are moving from somewhere else or starting fresh, we will help make the setup as straightforward as possible.
Hospital radio, charities and volunteer-led projects often do a huge amount with very small budgets. If we can take one technical cost off your list, that is one less thing for your team to worry about.
Music, requests, familiar voices and local programming can make a real difference to patients spending time in hospital.
A reliable website helps people understand your work, support campaigns, volunteer, donate and stay up to date.
Not everyone on the team is technical, so we aim to keep the hosting and streaming side easy to manage.
The point is to give eligible organisations a proper foundation they can actually use day to day.
Professional online audio streaming for hospital radio, charity radio and suitable non-profit broadcasting projects.
Hosting for your organisation’s website, information pages, campaign content and online resources.
Help keep your website and listener-facing pages secure without adding another item to the bill.
Keep music and scheduled content running when volunteers are away from the studio, where supported by the chosen radio service.
Infrastructure intended for everyday use so your site or stream can stay available to the people relying on it.
We can help with the move, the initial setup and the common technical questions that come with getting online.
Hospital radio can be part entertainment, part companionship and part connection. We help provide the technical base so your volunteers can focus on making good radio.
Whether people are listening on a hospital network, at home or on their phone, we can help you get the stream online and keep the setup manageable.
A charity website needs to explain what you do, build trust and make it easy for people to get involved. We can help with the hosting side so your team can focus on the mission.
Use the space for your main website, project pages, updates, campaign information or a charity-led media project.
We do not expect a charity or hospital radio volunteer to turn up with a technical specification. Just explain the organisation and what you need online.
Open a ticket or message us and tell us the name of your organisation and what it does.
We will confirm whether the organisation fits the free hospital radio / charity hosting programme.
Streaming, web hosting, migration or a mixture of both — we will help choose the sensible setup.
Once approved, we prepare the service and help you through the move or first-time setup.
A lot of hospital radio stations and charities are run by small teams and volunteers. We know that means the technical side needs to be practical rather than over-complicated.
