What does time-based podcast hosting mean?
Time-based podcast hosting means your plan is based on how many hours of audio or video content you publish each month instead of file size or storage limits.
Are current hosting customers being moved to a new plan?
No. Current Blubrry hosting customers do not need to make any changes. Your existing plan will stay the same unless you choose to switch to a new time-based plan.
Can I publish video podcasts with Blubrry?
Yes. Blubrry hosting supports audio and video podcast publishing.
How do I choose the right podcast hosting platform?
When choosing a podcast hosting platform, consider factors such as storage limits, bandwidth, ease of use, integration capabilities with podcast directories, and the availability of analytics to track your podcast’s performance. Additionally, look for features that align with your specific needs, such as the ability to monetize your podcast, support for multiple shows under one account, and the quality of customer support.
Is migrating my podcast difficult?
Not at all, especially with our hands-on support team. We move podcasters to our platform every day and ensure that you keep all of your subscribers, episodes, etc. You can migrate yourself or reach out to our support team for assistance including a scheduled Zoom or phone meeting.
Can I add more than one show to my hosting?
No, each hosting subscription is limited to one RSS feed — one show. This keeps your uploads and podcast statistics separate. Networks or those with multiple shows should switch to our Pro Hosting for easier account management, features and billing.
What is an RSS feed and how does it relate to podcast hosting?
An RSS feed is a text file that contains your podcast’s information and episode details in a standardized format. It allows podcast directories and listeners to subscribe to your show and automatically receive new episodes. Your podcast host generates and updates this RSS feed every time you upload a new episode, ensuring that your latest content is distributed to all your subscribers across various platforms.
Can I switch podcast hosts if I’m not happy with my current one?
Yes, you can switch podcast hosts if you’re not satisfied with your current service, and Blubrry Podcasting makes migration easy with a migration service that transfers your files and feeds to our hosting service. It’s crucial to ensure that your podcast’s RSS feed is redirected correctly to maintain your subscribers and not affect your podcast’s availability on directories.
Are there any free podcast hosting options available?
Yes, there are free podcast hosting options available. However, it is important to note that these free services often come with limitations on storage, bandwidth, or access to advanced features like detailed analytics or monetization tools. While free hosting can be a great starting point for new podcasters, you will want to consider upgrading to a paid plan as your podcast grows to access more features and better support. Also, be careful with free hosting services that will basically control your brand!
Can I upgrade if I need more publishing time?
Yes. You can upgrade anytime if you need more monthly publishing time.
