I wanted to start a few different podcasts with myself or maybe some others and was settled on taking out basic hosting service with another host called Captivate.fm. The main reason was you could have all the shows you want, but pay per the amount of downloads you have. The basic plan came what 30,000 or so a month so more than enough to play around with a handful of shows. For some reason I decided to check App Sumo and bam there was the Disctopia offer. And clutch I can also have several different shows no problem, and no download limit, and pay once for lifetime (at least five years I hope) deal? Sold. And after messing with the service for a few weeks I can easily give at A- to Disctopia. Now again, I am just speaking of posting audio podcasts only, and yes I do see you can do video and audiobooks and music, but I am not doing that at this time. But speaking for podcasts it is close to perfect, especially considering the hopeful lifetime deal!! And if for some reason your podcast is heavy with merch they seem to have some really neat ready to go integrations with products already set up to sell etc, very interesting. Certainly all of the main element of a podcast host are given with Disctopia, the analytics are standard basic type, nice embed player, badges, 301, trackable analytics you can use as well if you have, otherwise again their Free in house analytics are definitely adequate certainly to get started with. I jockeyed around with an episode artwork to get it to look right I locked it pu somehow and it say for days as blank image. After letting it be and trying again nothing seemed to work. I emailed support and just like they said in 24 hours they responded said they will take care of it and n the email I sent them I included the artwork I wanted and amazing they even put it on for me!! I see others complaining on support but Disctopia seems pretty attentive. I am really really happy with this host, and I have used most of them or had access to to shows on them as I work in podcasting, I am just stupendously ecstatic with the App Sumo deal, BUT even without the deal and their regular pricing, just in the podcasting realm alone, their price and value is one of the best in all of podcasting!! And if for some reason you are heavy with merch or plan to be, this is the best host for you I know of period. Thank you Disctopia for this deal!! Just another reason to also be App Sumo PLUS bc you save money on top of VASTLY saving money on great incredible software and services, mostly business focused but practically applicable to anyone as well. Sorry, forget to mention the iOS App is basically unusable. I choose to use my Google login with Disctopia and I can't figure out how to get n that way on the app. Either way the app looks pretty undeveloped and this is nt a deal breaker but it might nice to at least see you shows stats.
