Required · Step 8

Host and publish

Put the files and the feed somewhere reachable, on your own domain.

What this step is

Your audio files and feed need to live on a server that can handle listeners downloading them. Your feed should have an address on a domain you own, even if the files live elsewhere.

The key move

Register a domain for the show and point the feed address there, for example https://yourshow.com/feed.xml. If that address never changes, you can change hosts at any time without losing a listener.

Options

• A hosting service handles storage, bandwidth and the feed. Easiest. Make sure it supports a custom feed domain, or at least a permanent redirect when you leave.
• Your own storage (object storage plus a CDN) with a separate feed builder. More control, a little more setup.
