Podcasting presents an interesting dilemma to producers and business owners. Podcasts can be either audio or video, and can have widely varying audiences. As podcasts grow in popularity, it becomes necessary to think about how you will handle all of the traffic generated by hundreds, or thousands, of users simulatenously downloading your episodes. What if you had 1000 users downloading last week’s episode of your video podcast? It’s highly doubtful that your webserver, or even a cluster or servers, could handle that kind of load.

Being listed in iTunes is one of the very best ways to spread your podcast, but again that exposure will come with a lot of server load, so you’ll need to make sure you’re prepared. Even though a podcast may be listed in iTunes, it is still served from your server.

SparkCDN’s goal is to help podcast producers grow their audience, without having to worry about the growing pains of high bandwidth usage and server utilization. Our state of the art CDN network will easily be able to handle the load.
