The allowed maximum bitrates are per each radio station/audio feed that you have with C-Servers, for any given plan. For example, on the StreamVoice 96 Kbps plan, which allows up to two station, each station can have up to 96 Kbps to broadcast.
C-Servers does no control over the usage of each customer for any given plan. Our original idea was to create radio/audio streaming plans that focused on a higher-quality allowance of different streams/stations, and 96 Kbps is widely understood as giving a far-from-transparent quality on music broadcasts (depending on the format); however, within the allowed bitrates, you can configure your stations as you wish.
Yes, absolutely, you can stack them as you wish. In your specific use case, purchase two StreamVoice plans.
Absolutely. We also guarantee server management and uptime for these.
Yes, absolutely. No one wants to have the burden to have a transmission cutting up simply because there weren't enough listeners paid for and, truth is, no radio station/audio streamer knows or is capable to predict at any given moment how many listeners will it have - also no one wants to have a unusually successful stream cut off simply because the number of listeners allowed has been reached. It's 2025, and it's absolutely unacceptable to proceed that way when radio bitrates aren't that big and we live in a Gigabit world. It doesn't make any sense anymore, we believe.
No. Overages are not allowed and if the maximum space is reached, the MediaCP system will by default suspend any given plan until fixed.
Our system is based on LiquidSoap.
Yes, absolutely.
Geoblocking works by banning countries other than the ones you retain rights to broadcast to. This is managed at the panel level on your end.
No, C-Servers is a provider and as such it works only as a neutral carrier. You are the only responsible for licensing questions and/or to comply with licensing questions in any given country.
The technical line speed on these plans is provided by default at 1 Gbps; however, we will upgrade to 2.5 Gbps or higher whenever necessary and we'll grow with you and your listeners, so don't worry.
Unfortunately, FLAC or WAV are not supported; however, AAC is much more widely accepted and, at 640 Kbps, it's basically lossless. We cannot recommend HE-AAC or HE-AAC v2 for lossless broadcasts because they change the stereo propagation and attempt to remove and recreate higher frequencies, changing the audio (check "Parametric Stereo" and "Spectral Band Replication").
Yes, it can be manually configured up to much higher amounts, it's just a default. Send us a ticket should you wish to do so.
Since no plan of ours starts or stops at 128 Kbps, we are working with Shoutcast Legacy (version 2.5.x), which allows much higher bitrates than the 128 Kbps limit of the free version, starting at 2.6.x. We also do it because SSL certificates are rather easy to be obtained, via CDNs, and as such it's easy to sort out this question. In any case, we recommend Icecast (which we offer in the Icecast and Icecast KH varieties).
