Find a hosting solution

Apple Podcasts partners with many hosting providers who offer essential tools, detailed documentation, and user-friendly features to simplify the publishing process. A hosting provider takes the elements that form your podcast and creates an RSS feed. They can also help manage your RSS feed, investigate technical issues, and more.

Find the partner that’s right for you.

If these features are important to your show, we recommend selecting a provider that can support them.

Manage your own web server

You can also create a podcast RSS feed and host it on your own web server.

Apple strongly encourages you to use a hosting server that supports SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) from a trusted root certificate authority. This security technology will allow you to generate an HTTPS RSS feed URL.

Keep in mind that any RSS feed you create must conform to our podcast requirements.
