What is Podcasting?
Good Question! Well its simple. Are you familiar with a link? Well the podcast feed works in the same Manner. The RSS feed is a simple language that has reference tags to your media files (Audio/Video) companied by a title and description. Well you use this feed (subscription link) in a feed aggregator (iTunes, PlayPod, Podkive Player) then sync it to your media player (ipod, flyboy, iriver or creative). Now you got radio/video to go.
What if i currently have a website?
We can set up your control panel in various ways. 1) You can use a new domain name and link the RSS feed on your current site. 2) you can register a sub-domain with us. All you need to do is create a sub-domain name with your current host and change the DNS to one of our IP's Addresses 3) We can do custom intergration to your existing website. 4) you can use the embed tag with your flash player (mp3s only)
What kind of files can i podcast?
Podcast any media file type. Current file formats include: MP3, MP4, M4V, M4A, MOV, WMV, RA, JPG, GIF, MID, SWF, FLV, MPG, MPEG, PDF, ACC, AIF, WAV, OGG, 3GP, AVI, .XLS, PPT, DOC, ASF and QTVR.
How large of a file can i upload?
You can upload up to 60 MB in the control panel, but if you have files that are larger you can use your FTP account and refer the URL in your control panel.
Why should i use PODKIVE?
Other podcast hosts want you to use their domain name with your RSS feed. Thats pretty much a bad move. If that service goes down then so do all of your subscribers. Think ahead and use a domain name that you have control of.
What are your DNS settings?
If you have your own domain name and would like to point it to our servers, you can change your DNS setting to the following:
ns7.genetichosting.net
ns8.genetichosting.net
