Managed PlayIt Live Cloud Hosting
Move your radio automation away from a home PC and onto a managed Windows VPS built specifically for PlayIt Live. We prepare the server, install the software, set up Icecast and FTP, and hand it over ready for you to add your music and start broadcasting.
It is ideal if you want the convenience of PlayIt Live without relying on one computer, one broadband connection or someone at the studio fixing things every time Windows decides to have a moment.
Host PlayIt Live away from the studio so your station is not dependent on one PC or one local internet connection.
Use Windows Remote Desktop to manage the station from home, the studio or wherever you happen to be working.
The server arrives with the main parts already prepared so you can spend your time on programming, music and station management instead of installation jobs.
Your VPS is prepared around PlayIt Live so you are not spending the first day installing software and trying to get all the moving parts talking to each other.
Home and studio setups can be fine at the start, but once a station becomes more serious, a hosted setup gives you a much more dependable base.
Your playout keeps running on the VPS even if your local connection goes down.
Log in from different locations without needing someone physically at the station machine.
Keep automation on dedicated cloud infrastructure rather than a general-purpose PC doing everything else too.
Every plan includes PlayIt Live, premium modules, Windows RDP, Icecast and FTP. Choose the size based mainly on how much audio you want to keep on the server.
Best for newer stations, curated libraries and broadcasters who want a proper cloud setup without paying for space they do not need yet.
Order StarterA better fit for established stations, larger MP3 libraries, recorded shows and growing archives.
Order ProfessionalDesigned for very large libraries, long-term archives and broadcasters storing high-bitrate or lossless audio.

Pick 250GB, 500GB or 1TB based on the size of your music and show archive.
Our team manually installs and prepares PlayIt Live, SQL, encoders, FTP and Icecast.
Once the server is ready, you get the Windows login details and can connect remotely.
Upload the library, set your schedule and start using the server as your hosted playout machine.
Enough for most new stations and a substantial MP3 library without paying for unused storage.
Better for established stations, high-bitrate music libraries and more recorded programming.
Best for very large archives, WAV/FLAC libraries and stations that want maximum storage headroom.
If you know how much storage you need, choose a plan above. If you are not sure, open a ticket and tell us roughly how big your library is and what your station is doing now.
Tell us roughly how many tracks you have, whether you use MP3, WAV or FLAC, and whether you also keep recorded shows on the server. We can help you pick the right plan.
