// How to start

From order to on air in five steps

No technical background needed. Here's exactly what happens after you order — and how to get your station live.

  1. 1

    Choose a plan & panel

    Pick the control panel that fits you and a plan that matches your audience. Not sure? See "Which panel is right for me?" on the home page. Complete the order in the portal and pay — most services activate automatically within minutes.

  2. 2

    Log in to your panel

    After activation you'll receive an e-mail with your control panel address and login details. Sign in to the panel (MediaCP, SonicPanel, Streaming Center or AzuraCast) — this is where you manage everything about your stream.

  3. 3

    Upload music or connect a live source

    For an automated station, upload your tracks to AutoDJ and arrange them into playlists or a schedule. Prefer to broadcast live? Point your encoder (for example BUTT, Mixxx or RadioBOSS) at the server using the host, port and password shown in your panel.

  4. 4

    Start broadcasting

    Start the stream from the panel (or your encoder). Your station is now live on its public address. You can monitor listeners, bitrate and song history in real time from the panel's dashboard.

  5. 5

    Put the player on your website

    Each panel gives you a public web page and an embeddable HTML5 player or widget. Copy the embed code into your own website so visitors can listen or watch directly — no extra software needed.
