How To Choose Free Podcast Hosts




Free Unlimited Podcast Hosting does not exist. The free hosting is usually free, but there is usually a very small limit on upload bandwidth (which may not be a problem), or there is a catch (it's pretty easy to understand why), such as, 'don't spam them'. There is an old saying, 'if you are not paying for your product, you aren't the product' and this is certainly the case when free hosting sites claim to be unlimited and free. You may even be better off just using an established hosting company, especially if you have some sort of technical expertise or know-how. However, it is a good idea to find out what the free hosting plans really include before you sign up.


There are a number of free hosting plans available. Most of them are quite simple and don't have a large number of restrictions on the number of subscribers. They often offer some sort of free trial, with the option of upgrading at a later date.


Paid hosting plans generally come about in two forms: paid and free. A paid hosting plan will generally come with a monthly fee. Some free plans will come with a flat monthly fee. While there are often many plans to choose from, the majority of these will be extremely basic and only allow for a certain number of podcasts per month. If you do want to increase your podcasting capacity, it is usually recommended that you pay a small monthly fee for unlimited hosting.


Free hosting plans are usually very low-cost. Although they may require that you pay a monthly fee, their features tend to be very limited. Most will only allow for a single file per month. In many cases, the files will be those that you uploaded with your own software to the website. If you were not granted this right, then you can expect to download a lot of duplicate files that are of no use and will not be able to play any of your podcasts.


It is strongly advised that you download files only from reputable sources. There are a number of hosting sites online where you can download the podcasts that you want but make sure that you only get them from legitimate hosts.


Free podcast hosting has its drawbacks, but there are many sites online that offer it at very low prices and have no hidden charges. If you do your research, you should be able to find a great host and enjoy unlimited access to a range of podcasts.
