Hosting Your Podcast - part 1There are a couple of hosting options for your podcast. The option you choose really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Let's take a look at each option. Option 1: Host your podcast externally. This can be done through many of the blog sites, such as WordPress and Blogger. If you choose this option, be aware that you will be censored in most cases. This option is really only good if you are a hobbyist, not if you are podcasting for business purposes. You will need a place to store your podcast audio files. This can be done through a free file storage site, such as Our Media at http://www.ourmedia.com or File Den at http://www.fileden.com. Option 2: Get your own web host and domain name. There are numerous options for web hosting, with varying prices, but you should ideally look for a service that offers a CPanel, and includes Fantastico with your account. You can purchase your domain name through GoDaddy at http://www.godaddy.com. Many hosting services also offer domain registration. Once you have secured webhosting and a domain name, you will want to go to your control panel, click on Fantastico, and look for the WordPress blog. Ideally, you will install this on the top domain. Once WordPress is installed, the next thing to do is to download and install the PodPress plugin. In the WordPress control panel that you have just installed, go to the tab that says 'plugins.' You will need to download the plugin, which can be found at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podpress/.Once you have downloaded it, follow the WordPress instructions for installing it. This is an incredibly useful tool. It makes it easy to set your podcast up on your blog, will automatically include a podcast player so that people can listen directly from your site, and will also ping major podcast directories each time you upload a new podcast.
