Hostway’s Podcast Hosting Package (More to Come?)

Posted by Paul Colligan on Friday, June 9, 2006

Let the tidal waves begin …

Hostway announced (and launched) their Podcast hosting package. The long and short of it – $2.95 a month ($39.95 set-up fee). 2 gig of traffic, 50 meg of space and their “Podcasting Tool.”

Verio was the first to announce – Hostway was the first to produce. Who will be next, and, more importantly, will they not be as lame as these two products?

    2 gigs?! Whoa, don’t get too crazy there, Hostway. ;-)

    Seriously, they obviously don’t know how podcasting works if they think that’s enough.

    Why no mention of LibSyn or Hipcast/Audioblog, who have offered podcast hosting for ages?

    Josh, great point. In my mind, this thread of companies offering hosting has been about the entry of “traditional” hosts in the space – i.e., the “competitors” to LibSyn and Hipcast – but I sure didn’t make that clear. Thanks!
