1. Introduction to White Labeling
White labeling allows you to create a fully branded music streaming service without any reference to BeMusic. This means your platform will carry your logo, colors, and domain, giving your users a seamless brand experience.
2. Initial Setup

- Choose Your Plan: Select the plan that best suits your needs (Basic: $99/month with a $500 setup fee or Premium for additional features).
- Domain and Server: Choose your free domain name and server location. This is crucial as it ensures your platform is hosted on a private server with your chosen domain.
