In order to complete an update, a reboot is required. We expect around 10-15 minutes of downtime.

Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE: Reboot complete, downtime was less than expected.

Due to a fault on s3 which is causing server restarts to fail, it requires a reboot. We hope for service to be back up in the next 10-15 minutes.

UPDATE:

After a reboot attempt, the server failed to come back online. A technician is currently checking the server for faults.

We may need to reinstall the server, but this is a worst case scenario – if this happens then it may take up to 45-60 minutes for service to be back to normal.

Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE:

The motherboard has been replaced and the server is now back online. No reinstallation was required.

We have now added SHOUTcast 2.6 as an option in the user area. We recommend using this version if you have a ‘new style’ authhash.

If you need to update from 2.5 then log into the user area and scroll down to Server Settings > Server Type. You will now see the option for SHOUTcast 2.6.

We have decided not to automatically force the update for all customers as many are still using the old style of Authhash to get listed on the SHOUTcast YP.

Unsure which version to use?

If you are not listed on the SHOUTcast YP then you can use an version.

If you have an old style Authhash, which is a string of letters and numbers only (e.g gM7nnd9TFjP94yE7EdJr), then use V2.5

If you have a new style Authhash, which contains dashes along with letters and numbers (e.g hNw3RgDg-W66u-pm8S-YAh7-aHGs8JWCBg4V), then use V2.6

Note: The authhashes above are randomly generated and will not work. They are intended only as examples to show the difference between the new and old formats.

We are currently experiencing slowness on the website, this is being investigated and we expect the issue to resolved shortly.

Thank you for your patience.
