Podcast hosting

Your best episode should not be your biggest invoice

Unmetered delivery on every plan. When a two-year-old episode gets picked up and does four million downloads in a week, nothing about your bill changes.

Dynamic ad insertion

Stitch pre-, mid- and post-rolls at request time, targeted by country and listening app, with frequency capping.

Feed that never breaks

Valid RSS 2.0 with the podcast namespace, served from 34 edges, with a 24-hour changelog of every feed mutation.

Transcripts included

Word-level timing, speaker labels, 31 languages, published as WebVTT in the feed so apps can search inside episodes.

Private feeds

Per-subscriber tokenised feeds for members-only shows, with revocation that takes effect on the next poll.

The spike problem

What happens when an episode goes wide

This is a real customer's traffic after a back-catalogue episode was recommended by a large newsletter. Nothing was throttled and nothing was surcharged.

  • 4.1 million downloads in nine days
  • Peak 62 Gbps sustained for two hours on the Tuesday
  • Episode was 94 minutes at 128 kbit/s mono — 86 MB each
  • Total transferred: 352 TB from one episode

Shows that moved here

“We left a host that billed per download. One good month would have cost more than a year here.”
L. FitzgeraldIndependent documentary series
“The transcripts alone justified the switch. Our back catalogue is finally searchable.”
H. FerreiraWeekly interview show
“Dynamic insertion meant we could sell the back catalogue again without re-cutting 300 episodes.”

Hosting questions

Yes. The only limits are storage and the number of shows on the plan. We have customers delivering over a petabyte a month on the €39 tier and they pay €39.
