New Podcast Hosting Service Offers Unlimited Bandwidth

Webmayhem Internet Development started planning for LibSyn in October of last year. The EMayhem Radio Podcast moved its hosting to Libysn as the first beta tester on November 22nd, and LibSyn saw their first customer on December 1st.

Liberated Syndication charges for storage, not bandwidth, eliminating some of the obstacles plaguing users of this emerging technology.

According to LibSyn’s Dave Mansueto, “We love Podcasting and we eat our own dog food.”

The LibSyn service features a simple user interface that creates an iPodder-compliant RSS 2.0 feed. It also creates a customizable weblog and provides space to host and manage the user’s media files, uploaded via web or ftp. The service starts at $5/month.

There are many additional features for podcasters, as well. LibSyn’s ‘Quickcast’ option automatically creates a Podcast upon upload, and populates the user's blog based on id3 tags. The ‘SplitFeed’ technology creates an all encompassing RSS 2.0 feed, as well as specialized feeds for user-created categories. Liberated Syndication also offers DNS support.
