How to Find Podcast Hosting

Podcast hosting is the most important part and first for anybody who
wants to begin to create a podcast. Before

anyone begins distributing podcasts, they need a location to store the
files and keep the feed file that will tell their subscribers about
the new episodes available.

One of the first things required is a domain name where the website
will be located. Many domain registrars are available

who will help one register a domain name for a small fee. Once the
domain is registered, hosting is required, and again there are many
different companies willing to do the hosting for a small fee. One of
those is bluehost.com, but many others are available. When looking for
a host, the most important thing is to make sure that a lot bandwidth
and storage space is available and cheap. Since podcasting deals with
large media files, a lot of disk space will be taken up storing the
files and bandwidth will be eaten quickly when they are downloaded by
the subscribers.

Once podcast hosting has been established, it needs to be used and the
website needs to be set up. The DNS addresses of the website need to
be set to the addresses that the host provides you so that the servers
that the internet will know where your website is located. DNS
addresses can be set by going to the domain registrar that was used to
acquire the domain and inputting the addresses provided by the host.
Then, it will take a few days before the master list the domain
registar updates will be shared throughout the internet and all name
servers know where to find your specific domain. You can then go about
setting up your own podcast.

With the podcast hosting in place, you will need to look at the disk
space allocated to the website using something called and FTP browser.
The host may provide one as part of their hosting plan, but if not
there are many available free to choose from. Using the FTP browser,
log on to the host and upload a file called dircaster.php after
editing it to fit the specifics of the website. Dircaster.php is an
easy to find piece of coding that generates a feed file by looking at
the contents of its directory or folder. The individual episodes to be
podcasted can then be uploaded to the same folder as dircaster.php for
cataloging. Make sure that all the meta data, or information about the
mp3 file is correct before doing so.

to distribute all your podcasts. It would be best to upload more to
the website, such as an index page that tells visitors about the
podcast and provides the address of the file dircaster.php on your
website. When they subscribe to that file, the podcast client they use
will access it and receive information about the newest and latest
podcasts

Making a podcast of your own is just about as easy as watching or
hearing to one. All you need is cognition of tools, we have came
