Sonic Panel has a rich heritage that dates back to 2008, when it was originally known as WHM Sonic - a pioneering cPanel/WHM plugin that revolutionized how radio broadcasters managed their streaming servers.
Hired Hosting was one of the first hosting providers to offer WHM Sonic hosting services back in 2008, and we're proud to say that many of those original customers are still with us today - a testament to the platform's reliability and our commitment to long-term support.
Over the years, WHM Sonic evolved into the modern Sonic Panel we offer today, maintaining its core strengths while adapting to contemporary broadcasting needs. The transition from a cPanel plugin to a standalone web-based control panel brought enhanced flexibility, improved performance, and the innovative Talk Over Auto DJ feature that sets it apart.
With over 17 years of continuous operation, Sonic Panel represents one of the most mature and battle-tested radio broadcasting platforms available. Our long-standing customer relationships demonstrate the stability and trustworthiness that comes from nearly two decades of hosting expertise.
Some of our Sonic Panel customers have been broadcasting continuously since 2008, making them pioneers in the internet radio industry.
