Setting up your custom domain

How can I use my own domain to host my podcast feed or show page?

Updated over a week ago

At Acast for Ace users, we let you choose your own feed URL. This will give you better control over your podcast brand identity, and it can be done in just a few steps.

For this example, we'll assume you have a domain called mydomain.com and that you'd like to have podcast  as the subdomain. Then podcast.mydomain.com  will show your Acast website, and podcast.mydomain.com/feed  will show your RSS feed.

FAQ: Can I add multiple shows under one domain?
We cannot use the domain itself as a whole, so each podcast will need an individual, unique CNAME record pointing to a subdomain that we can use in order to direct the show's website and the RSS feed. Each will need their own individually unique subdomain.

How to set it up

  1. Select your own root domain, or subdomain you want to use.

  2. Contact us via intercom (the little chat bubble at the bottom of our Acast app) and let us know which domain you want to use. We will add it to our system.

  3. Log into your DNS provider and add a CNAME record pointing to domains.pippa.io from your preferred subdomain.

Using GoDaddy:

If you use NameCheap, choose Advanced DNS, and enter these values.

That's it! Your website will shortly be available at http://podcast.mydomain.com
