What is Podcast Hosting Software Market?
Podcast hosting sites offer users file hosting and RSS feeds for their uploaded podcasts. Podcast hosting sites provide significant server storage that is required to store large audio files such as podcasts. Uploaded podcasts can then be embedded elsewhere on the Internet, fed into podcast directories, or played back by direct visitors to the website. Podcast hosting sites no longer require Podcaster to search for file hosting for their content themselves. Given the size of the audio files, using a personal server can be incredibly expensive. Some podcast hosting sites also offer content analytics software features that provide insight into the performance of podcasts. To qualify for podcast hosting, a product must provide audio file hosting, format audio files in an RSS feed, and allow users to embed audio files.
