SHOUTcast是一個流行的互聯網電台協定，讓任何人在網上發佈自己的電台，並為網絡伺服器配置提供託管要求。一些網絡託管專門於提供SHOUTcast計劃，並提供預先安裝為軟體即服務(SaaS)的框架。廣播者只需要上傳和編排MP3來啟動網上電台串流。
對於有數以千計同時聽眾的廣播者，SHOUTcast網絡託管也可以在VPS或專用伺服器計劃上獨立地進行管理。SHOUTcast很大程度上開創了直播音頻行業，雖然它很快地被Facebook、YouTube、Twitter等社交網絡平台以及Pandora、Spotify、LiveFM等迅速超越。最佳做法是先使用廉價軟化即服務(SaaS)提供商以獲得預先安裝SHOUTcast的託管，如果廣播電台受到社區觀眾歡迎的話，然後擴展到其他解決方案。
