Switching hosting services shouldn't be stressful. We've built a smart import tool to fetch everything, including your audio files, episode notes, images, and keywords, to bring them straight onto Acast. Best of all? You won't lose a single hard-earned follower along the way (breathe a welcome sigh of relief there).
Before You Begin
Disable Dynamic Ads: Turn off dynamic monetization on your current host to import clean, ad-free audio files. Depending on your host, you may need to wait 24 to 72 hours after disabling ads before starting the import.
Verify Episode Count: Take note of your exact episode count on your current platform so you can verify that every episode transfers over correctly.
How to Import Your Show
Locate Your Show: Log in to the Acast Import Tool and click Import Existing Show.
Search for your show by typing its exact title (capitalization matters!) or paste your RSS feed URL directly into the search field.
Confirm and Import: Check that the displayed episode count matches your current feed, then click Import.
You can monitor the progress bar as your content transfers. If you run into any issues, visit the Acast Learning Center to troubleshoot incomplete imports.
Redirect Your Feed: Follow the customized on-screen instructions to set up a redirect from your old host to Acast. Read What is a redirect? in the Acast Learning Center for details. This guarantees your existing audience stays connected with zero interruption.
Update Distribution: The RSS redirect automatically maintains your show's placement on Apple Podcasts and most major directories. If your podcast is distributed on Spotify, simply log in to Spotify for Podcasters and update your host information.
