Moving from Shoutcastto RadioCult
Keep your stream running while you move away from managing your own server. Broadcasting, scheduling, and presenter access, all handled from one platform instead of pieced together yourself.
Why stations move
off Shoutcast
Running Shoutcast yourself means handling your own server, uptime, and updates, plus stitching together separate tools for scheduling and presenter access. As a station grows, that setup takes more time to maintain and more knowledge to keep running smoothly.
RadioCult replaces that self-managed setup with one connected platform: broadcasting, scheduling, and station management, hosted and maintained for you.
What migration actually involves
Moving from Shoutcast to RadioCult is usually manual, but it can happen in stages.
Move the audio you need
Upload the shows or files you need first, then bring the rest across over time. Files can be added by drag and drop, or in bulk through the RadioCult API.
Rebuild your schedule
Rebuild your schedule inside RadioCult. Recurring shows only need to be set up once with repeat rules, so a weekly grid can usually be recreated in one focused session.
Update your stream links
Your RadioCult stream will have a new URL, so you'll need to update the places where listeners tune in, such as your website player, mobile app, directories, or other listings.
Choose the switch that fits your station
Some stations run both platforms while they move listeners across. Others relay their existing stream into RadioCult while they build the schedule, or relay RadioCult back through their old server while updating links.
Get support for the complicated parts
For more complex migrations, the RadioCult team can help you plan the move without disrupting your programming.

FAQs
Can I migrate from Shoutcast to RadioCult?
Yes. There's no automatic import between hosting providers, so the move is manual, but it can happen in stages. You can upload the audio you need first, rebuild your schedule, and update your stream links, without needing everything moved before you go live.
What RadioCult radio hosting includesWill I lose my existing schedule during migration?
No. Your schedule gets rebuilt inside RadioCult rather than imported. Recurring shows only need setting up once with a repeat rule, so a full weekly grid can usually be recreated in one focused session.
How long does migration take?
It depends on how much audio you're bringing across. Many stations only need to upload their next few shows to get on air, then move the rest of their archive over time. The RadioCult team can help plan the timeline for more complex setups.
Do I have to switch all at once?
No. Some stations run both platforms while they move listeners across gradually. Others relay their existing stream into RadioCult to go live right away, or relay RadioCult back through their old server so existing links keep working while they update them.
Is there a discount for switching from another provider?
Yes. Stations moving from another hosting provider get 30% off their first month with RadioCult.
