Welcome to the VNYL Blog
So we’re starting a blog.
Look, we’re not trying to become your 47th unread newsletter. There’s enough noise out there already.
This is just a place to share what we’re learning as we build VNYL and work with thousands of podcasters. The technical stuff that matters, the strategies that actually work, and the honest truth about what’s happening in podcast hosting right now.
What You’ll Actually Find Here
Podcast Hosting Tips
You know those questions about RSS feeds and file formats that make your eyes glaze over? We’ll break them down in plain English. No jargon, no gatekeeping. Just straight answers from people who’ve been dealing with this stuff every day.
Industry Insights
The podcasting world moves fast. We’ll share what we’re seeing work across our network. Real data from real podcasters, not recycled advice from 2019. Which platforms are actually driving listeners, what trends matter, which metrics you should obsess over (and which ones you should ignore).
Product Updates
When we ship new features, we’ll tell you why we built them, not just what they do. What problem were we trying to solve? What did we learn? Transparency is rare in this industry. We think that’s a mistake.
Growth Strategies
“Post consistently” is not a strategy. We’ll share tactical, specific approaches to growing your show. From SEO that actually works for podcasts to distribution tactics that don’t feel spammy.
Why VNYL?
Here’s the thing: at VNYL, we believe podcast hosting should be simple, unlimited, and affordable. No storage limits, no download restrictions. Just straightforward hosting that lets you focus on making great content.
The whole philosophy is pretty simple:
- Unlimited storage and bandwidth → Upload as much as you want, grow as big as you can
- Lightning-fast delivery → Global CDN means your listeners in Tokyo get the same experience as New York
- Analytics that make sense → Clear, useful data about who’s listening and how they found you
- Simple pricing → No surprises, no hidden fees, no math homework
We’re not trying to reinvent podcasting. We’re just making the hosting part so painless you forget it exists.
