Blueprint

MediaCP White-Label Streaming Launch (7-10 days)

A delivery playbook for agencies to stand up a branded audio and video streaming service on MediaCP, from server credentials to a client-ready reseller panel with WHMCS billing automation.

Prerequisites
  • Streaming server credentials for at least one engine (SHOUTcast, Icecast, Wowza, or Flussonic) or a MediaCP managed cloud subscription with Akamai CDN
  • A domain and SSL certificate for the white-label panel, plus DNS access to point a subdomain at the control panel
  • WHMCS license if billing automation and reseller invoicing are part of the offer
  • A named first client or internal demo station to configure during the build, so testing uses real channel data
  • Super admin access to the MediaCP panel once deployed, self-hosted or cloud
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Obtain streaming server credentials for SHOUTcast, Icecast, Wowza, or Flussonic as required by MediaCP
  • 2.Deploy the panel self-hosted or via MediaCP managed cloud with Akamai CDN
  • 3.Configure super admin access and confirm the panel loads on the branded subdomain
  • 1.Test basic server management functions: start, stop, and restart a streaming engine from the panel
  • 2.Verify the panel reports engine status correctly for each connected server
  • 3.Record the engine connection details in the agency runbook for later client provisioning
  • 1.Create a demo client account inside MediaCP
  • 2.Set up a radio channel with listener limits, bitrate, and stream metadata matching the client brand
  • 3.Configure AutoDJ with a starter playlist and fallback audio
  • 1.Set up a video or TV channel on the same panel to prove multi-engine support
  • 2.Test simulcasting to YouTube or Facebook from the channel settings
  • 3.Confirm automated recording writes files the client can retrieve
  • 1.Check audience analytics populate for both the audio and video channels
  • 2.Apply white-label branding across the panel so client-facing screens show the agency name, not MediaCP
  • 3.Review the MCP linkback setting and decide whether the plan tier allows removing or retaining it
  • 1.Connect WHMCS billing automation so client subscriptions invoice and provision without manual steps
  • 2.Configure the reseller panel so downstream partners can create their own stations under the agency brand
  • 3.Test a full order-to-provision cycle with a sandbox client account
  • 1.Write the client self-service guide covering station management, playlist edits, and metadata changes
  • 2.Package the offer into tiers that map to MediaCP plan limits (single station, up to 25 stations, unlimited)
  • 3.Run a final end-to-end check: client logs in, edits a playlist, sees analytics, and receives an invoice
$12/month for the Audio Control Panel Single tier (1 station, SHOUTcast or Icecast, no reseller panel) up to $19/month for Starter (up to 25 stations, reseller panel) or $29/month for Unlimited, plus video tiers starting at $29/month; agency-side panel cost stays under $60/month across audio and video before server or cloud hosting fees.7-10 days
ROI Logic

MediaCP panel cost is $12 to $29/month per tier, while a productized radio station launch retainer runs $299/mo per client, so a single client covers the panel cost many times over. The Starter tier at $19/month supports up to 25 stations, which means an agency can host a full book of small broadcasters on one panel subscription and keep the spread. Margin depends on server or cloud hosting costs, which sit outside the MediaCP fee and must be priced into the retainer.

Deliverables
  • Branded MediaCP control panel on the agency domain with super admin and reseller access configured
  • Demo client account with one audio channel (AutoDJ playlist, fallback audio, metadata) and one video channel (simulcast to YouTube or Facebook, automated recording)
  • WHMCS billing automation connected and tested through a full order-to-provision cycle
  • Client self-service guide for station management, playlist edits, and metadata changes
  • Tiered offer sheet mapping client packages to MediaCP plan limits (single station, up to 25 stations, unlimited)
Definition of Done

A client can log into the branded MediaCP panel, manage their own station and playlist, see audience analytics, and receive an automated WHMCS invoice without agency intervention.
