That means unlimited storage and downloads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ability to use a custom domain for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/publishing\/what-is-an-rss-feed-for-podcasting\/\">RSS feed<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these features&nbsp;<em>kind of<\/em>&nbsp;has a caveat. The first is that episode file sizes have a limit of 250MB. If you\u2019re thinking, \u201cthat seems really big,\u201d it is. Even at 128kbps encoding, you can have an episode well over 2.5 hours. I only mention it here because that technically is a limit\u2026though probably not one you\u2019ll need to worry about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-that-custom-domain\">About That Custom Domain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The other caveat is the custom domain. One might read that feature as you \u201ccan\u201d use a custom domain. But you&nbsp;<em>have to<\/em>&nbsp;use a custom domain. Listen Host will not provide a generic URL for you to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-tph-related-post tph-related-block tph-related-block--horizontal tph-related-block--style-outline\"><div class=\"tph-related-block__thumb-wrap\"><a class=\"tph-related-block__thumb-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 205px, (min-width: 390px) 320px, calc(100vw - 70px)\" class=\"tph-related-block__thumb\"\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"tph-related-block__content-wrap\"><div class=\"tph-related-block__tagline-wrap\"><span class=\"tph-related-block__tagline-icon tph-related-block__tagline-icon--bookmark\"><\/span><p class=\"tph-related-block__tagline\">Related Article<\/p><\/div><p class=\"tph-related-block__headline\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Please select your post&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p><p class=\"tph-related-block__desc\"><span>Post excerpt will go here&#8230;<\/span>\u00a0<a class=\"tph-related-block__more-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Find out more \u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be a barrier for entry to people who don\u2019t know how to buy a domain, or more likely, people who don\u2019t want to mess with a DNS (I\u2019m a web developer of 20+ years, and I still get nervous touching the DNS sometimes).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They do list a number of benefits for using a custom domain \u2014 chiefly that if you ever need to move hosts, you won\u2019t need to update your feed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how they create the URL structure, this may or may not be true. For example, if their service uses customdomain.com\/feed.rss, and the service your moving too uses customdomain.com\/podcast.rss, you\u2019ll still need to update your old feed to point to the new one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is pure speculation, but in the FAQs, they talk a little bit too much about switching services. It\u2019s probably nothing, but it raised a small flag for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-catch\">What\u2019s the Catch?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s an adage online that if you\u2019re not paying for the product, you are the product. So you might be wondering\u2026free podcast hosting? What\u2019s the catch?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It turns out they\u2019ve anticipated this question and have that exact verbiage on the website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To Listen Notes\u2019 credit, they appear transparent about the free hosting. First, they say they\u2019ll fund the free hosting (which is low-cost to them) with their commercial offerings. You will likely need a Listen Notes account to sign up, bringing you into their entire ecosystem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could also imagine that files hosted on their servers will be easier and faster to index for their search engine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also plainly state that the core hosting will be free, but they may add more advanced features at a cost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the first version of Listen Host is rolling out without analytics, which means you won&#8217;t have download or demographic information. They encourage users to integrate with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/promotion\/third-party-podcast-analytics\/\">third-party analytics service<\/a> like Podtrac if they want stats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analytics (or advanced analytics) is a perfect candidate for the \u201cpremium feature\u201d moniker.&nbsp;If you&#8217;re <em>just <\/em>looking for a place to host audio files, then you can do that free of charge. But if you need first-party download data for sponsorship or other key performance indicators (KPIs), it&#8217;s worth paying for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, they list <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/planning\/how-to-create-a-private-podcast-feed\/\">private\/member RSS feeds<\/a> \u2014 something missing from many podcast hosting solutions \u2014 as well as a feature where listeners can send you some money for your efforts. These two could help Listen Host differentiate from&nbsp;<em>most<\/em>&nbsp;other hosting solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-for-a-streamlined-hosting-alternative\">Looking for a Streamlined Hosting Alternative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While free hosting is great for hobbyists or testing the waters, if you\u2019re going to stake your business on your podcast, you should pay for it. This applies to any tool or service crucial to your income.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen Host could be a fantastic option when you need the cheapest alternative. But you may run into workflow issues if you have big files or don\u2019t want to rely solely on your custom domain and a DNS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts.png\" alt=\"Alitu: o criador de podcasts\" class=\"wp-image-31731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts-300x97.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts-768x248.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts-290x94.png 290w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts-350x113.png 350w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts-445x144.png 445w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts-635x205.png 635w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts-580x187.png 580w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts-700x226.png 700w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/alitu-o-criador-de-podcasts-890x288.png 890w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A most streamlined alternative might be our own product,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alitu.com\/?utm_source=thepodcasthost&amp;utm_medium=in-content-link&amp;utm_campaign=listen-notes-free-hosting\">Alitu<\/a>.
