Migration Begins Dec 6th

They will be starting the migration process on December 6th, 2023. You shouldn’t notice any issues or interruptions as you should be able to stream as normal. They (the software developer) will be just migrating all of the data to the new server. Once done, I will send another notice with the new IP address and switch behind the scenes info as needed. You shouldn’t have to do anything on your part until I have sent out info for the IP, Control panel Info, etc.

Thank you for understanding –Lexxi

Server Maintenance

Server Maintenance
Thu, Oct 12 2023 1:18:38 PM PDT

The server maintenance will be performed on Monday, October 16th, 2023 at 8AM SLT so it doesn’t interrupt any Sunday sets you may have. After server maintenance, I will restart all streams including those with AutoDJ. No tweaks are scheduled during this so it should only take 10 minutes at most but just be prepared just in case as technology isn’t perfect and I will of course let you know if a hiccup happens.

Thank you

Unscheduled Maintenance

[This unscheduled maintenance was completed 🙂 ]

Hiya. I apologize for the short notice but I will be doing some small maintenance on all servers tomorrow, Thursday, June 29th starting at 2AM SLT. This maintenance shouldn’t affect streaming and should only last an hour (or less) but as we all know with technology things happen so if anything goes awry I will let you know immediately or if it affects you in anyway PLEASE reach out as soon as it occurs so I know.

Also a reminder that for Scheduled Maintenance (server restarts), that is posted on it’s own page. We will have a restart on July 17th (on Monday instead of having it on the 15th on a weekend day). We no longer have the premium support as now restarts of streams (including AutoDJ) after any maintenance is now *included* with your account.

If you were on server ending in 242, please make sure to update the URL’s for your stream(s) and the control panel URL.

For your stream, it will update to: https://cp2.hostcrate.rocks/PORTNUMBERHERE/stream

For your control panel, it will update to: https://cp2.hostcrate.rocks/

UPDATE:

This should be working for some and may show SSL errors. Bear with us within the 48 hours for the domain to propagate properly. Your stream shouldn’t be affect – just the ability to log into the control panel and only on server ending in 242 (hostcrate.rocks). Thank you for understanding. –Lexxi


UPDATE:
All Fixed
Wed, May 03 2023 1:42:30 PM PDT

The issue is all fixed – sorta. You may need to clear your browser/cache history for it to appear or you may need to wait up to 48 hours for it to propagate for your side. An update to the URL has been done so the login will be switched from hostcrate.rocks to cp2.hostcrate.rocks so please be aware of that. I will send notice when that has been done.

Thank you for your patient.

–Lexxi


Update: They are looking into getting the issue fixed. It is on our end so please be patient while it gets fixed. –Lexxi

Hiya! We will have server reboots performed on Feb 15th at 8AM. There are no updates/tweaks for this reboot. ALL of our plans now include the premium support so I will turn on all streams once the maintenance is completed.

I keep this page up to date so be sure to check if you often miss our notices:
https://news.hostcrate.stream/server-maintenance-schedule/

& that is our news page so again I would just check there as I do post there often for everything you need to know. 🙂

I will be doing server reboots on September 1st, 2022 at 8AM SLT. This reboot will include updates/tweaks so it may be a bit longer than the typical reboots that we have. I will send notice once it is all finished. I will send this notice out as a reminder several times.This is why we have several areas where we post such things (this website for example) to keep you up to date.

Early Access Updates

Hiya,

I was given an early access update to the control panel software that we use which requires me to run an update. This shouldn’t affect streaming services as it should just be adding features to the software. But to be on the safe side, I will do this at 4AM SLT (7AM EST) tomorrow Thursday August 4th, 2022.

Per the developers the following features will be added:

  1. Shoutcast v2.6 update to DNAS 2.6.1 (Build 777)
  2. Shoutcast v2.6 will now use the same standart port of the radio with SSL. So if there is a scv26 radio on port 8002, https and http will work on the same port 8002
  3. Custom SSL Play ID
  4. Fix for icecast statistics problems.
  5. Auto SSL Renewal Fix
  6. SMTP Username allowed for SMTP settings
  7. Youtube and Facebook features. << client side SonicPanel Left Menu << can be disabled/enabled by the radio packages on your root panel, it is hidden on the left menu unless you enable the social stream with your root packages.
  8. Mount Points << client side SonicPanel Left Menu << can be disabled/enabled by the radio packages on your root panel
  9. Domains/SSL Certificates (Multiple Domain) << Root and Resellers
  10. Shared Playlists (Root User on the left menu)
  11. HTML Codes (Widgets) < copy paste html codes for websites << client side SonicPanel Left Menu
  12. JSON Output (PHP-API) A php API to be used from external websites etc. << client side SonicPanel Left Menu
  13. Now your resellers can add their own domains, you can also add domains from your root panel, on the left menu by the link Domains/SSL Certificates link. Then you can assign the domain to any radio on the Domains/SSL Certificates page or with your radio packages you can use any domain. You can also assign the same domain to multiple radios and the domain will show up on the clients SonicPanel.
  14. NOTICE: This update requires your users to click on save button for once under the manage autodj page of their SonicPanel on the left menu. Otherwise, the scheduled playlists will not work until this action is complete by the user. So you should send an email to your all clients and inform them.
