A podcast is probably the easiest way of getting your voice or music over the internet, and this article will tell how to make a podcast.

You will need a domain and a host for you site if you don’t already have one. You can get a domain from places like godaddy.com,dotster or network solutions. They can all register domains for a small fee.

The domain registrar will, for a small fee, enter the chosen domain, provided it is not being used, into the computers that form the backbone of the internet. These computers will be told where the domain is located on the internet and what host it is that holds the domain’s information. In order to give them that information, the name servers that are held by the host need to be associated with the domain.

Now you have domain in place, look for a good host . Make sue you get a host that provides a large amount of both disk space and a much larger amount bandwidth. Podcasts use up a lot of space and don’t really compress this is why you will use up a lot of space. A large bandwidth is required because  large files being transferred  to lots of people will use up the quota quickly. A good amount of diskspace is several GigaBytes, bandwidth should be in the tens or hundreds of Gigabytes. Now you have your host  set up, look for  a couple of addresses called nameservers. Inputting these server addresses into the site where the domain was registered will complete the domain setup and allow the site to be found on the internet.

The next step for people who want to know how to make a podcast is installing the software necessary to maintain the podcast. A small piece of coding called dircaster.php can be used to set up a basic level of podcast. Dircaster.php can be found easily by searching for it in any search engine. Once it is located, it should be edited to reflect the particulars of the domain and uploaded to the site. Dircaster.php will generate an RSS file, or feed, that tells the subscriber about the new files available for downloading. To begin podcasting, create the audio files that should be podcast, fill in the information about the file such as date, author, etc, and upload them to the same directory that contains dircaster.php. You now have a podcast, and all that is needed is to publicise the address of the file dircaster.php. To update the podcast with new information, just upload the new files. Other things to make the podcast better might be a site that contains information about the podcast, but it isn’t necessary.
