Podcasters

Websites for podcasters.

Your podcast host publishes each episode, and the website can pick it up from the feed without anyone copying show notes over by hand. The audio plays from the host, so the site stays fast when an episode gets shared.

What we look after

What a podcast website has to do.

Post each episode from the feed

Episodes from Buzzsprout, Libsyn, Transistor or your host's RSS feed appear on the site with their show notes, so nobody copies them over.

Play audio from the host

The player comes from your podcast host, which serves the audio. The web server only has to send the page around it.

Give sponsors a page

Sponsors want a page with their offer and a promo code that hosts can read out on air. We set those up and take old ones down when a deal ends.

Bring in guests

A guest application form helps you book the next episode. We test it and set up your mail records so pitches reach you.

Post transcripts

Transcripts help listeners who are deaf or hard of hearing, and they give search engines words to read. We add them to each episode page when you send them.

Point to every app

Listeners follow on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other apps. We keep the follow links current on every episode page.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The last episode on the website is from March, because someone has to copy each one over.
  • A sponsor's promo page still shows a code that expired.
  • Audio files were uploaded to the site itself, and it slows to a crawl when an episode gets shared.
  • Guest pitches from the site go to an inbox nobody checks.
A note from Ryan

The feed is the first thing I check

On a podcast site, I compare the newest episode on the site with the newest one in the feed. When they don't match, the site was being updated by hand and somebody stopped. Once the site reads the feed, nobody has to do that job again.

Does every new episode reach the website?

Send us your show's site and feed, and we'll check how episodes get from your host to the site and how the pages hold up when one gets shared.

Plans

How much do you want us to do?

Organizations like yours usually go on a Custom SLA, with response times and the terms written into the contract. Smaller sites can still use Managed.

Managed

$50 /mo

per site

You already have a site and you update it yourself. We look after everything underneath it.

What we take care of
  • Plugin, theme and WordPress updates snapshot saved first
  • Server, PHP and database updates planned and tested by us
  • Backups twice a day verified and kept off-site for 30 days
  • Security and monitoring scanning with a firewall and alerts
  • Same-day replies from the developer who does the work
  • Regular email updates what we did, in plain English
  • Free migration we move it for you
Get started

Changes to the site itself are quoted first at our standard $95/hr.

A new website included

Managed + Website

$99 /mo

We build you a new website, then host it and keep it current. After that, send the requests, like text changes or new pages, and they get made.

Everything in Managed, plus
  • A new website, built for you up to 10 pages, designed and built when you join
  • 1 hour of developer time a month worth $95 at our standard rate

  • Set up for agencies white-label, every client site on one bill
  • Response times in the contract agreed before anything gets signed
  • Uptime commitments in writing with a named person to escalate to
  • A dedicated server, if you need one sized to your traffic

Get started

We agree on the terms with you first.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. Podcast hosts publish an RSS feed, and we set the site to read it, so each new episode gets its own page with the player and the show notes.

No. Your podcast host is built to serve audio to every app and player. The site embeds the host's player, so a popular episode doesn't slow the web pages down.

Yes. Each sponsor can get a short page with their offer and code at an address that's easy to say on air. When the deal ends, we take it down or point it somewhere else.

A show site with episodes, a sponsor page and a guest form fits Managed at $50 a month, or Managed + Website if you want a new site built. A network with several shows, many editors and its own contract terms goes on a Custom SLA.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.
Cindy S.
Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.
Nathan T.
I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
