Streaming Servers

What makes a radio server different?

A station broadcasting around the clock has different needs from a web page: steady bandwidth, a server configured for audio, and a panel that speaks the language of mounts, listeners and Auto DJ. That is why our plans are purpose-built for Shoutcast and Icecast rather than relying on a general shared plan that merely tolerates a stream.

FAQ

Radio streaming questions

How do Shoutcast and Icecast differ?

Either will run a web radio station. Shoutcast is more widespread; Icecast is the open option. Undecided? Begin with Shoutcast or message us.

What does Sonic Panel do?

It brings Auto DJ, statistics and stream settings into one interface, so no server administration skills are required.

Does the station play when I am off air?

It does. Sonic Panel’s Auto DJ keeps the schedule running while you are away.

Can I offer streaming to my own customers?

Certainly — that is what the Sonic Panel Reseller plan is for.

Is a server of my own required?

The Shoutcast/Icecast plans are ready to use without one. For complete control, pair them with a VPS.

What are the first steps?

Click Shoutcast or Icecast, finish checkout in WHMCS, and your panel login details will be sent to you afterwards.

Which broadcasting software can I use?

Most popular tools, such as BUTT, SAM Broadcaster, Mixxx, RadioBOSS and VirtualDJ.

Can I add a player to my website?

Yes. Sonic Panel provides ready-made player code to embed on your website.

Do I need music licences?

Yes, broadcasting music legally requires the relevant licences from rights organisations. That is the station’s responsibility.
