Custom Domains for Podcast Hosting

Why custom domains matter for podcast hosting platforms

Podcast directories link out to the show's website. If that website is podcast.yourplatform.com, you're getting the SEO credit instead of the podcaster. Move it to podcast.acme.com and the math reverses overnight.

What your users get

• Show page on the podcaster's domain
• RSS feed URL stable across platform changes
• SEO and analytics attributed to the podcaster

How it works in 3 steps

1. Your user types their hostname (podcast.acme.com) into your UI.
2. your podcast platform POSTs to the Domainee API to register it and gets back the CNAME the user needs to add at their DNS provider.
3. We monitor DNS, issue the cert via Let's Encrypt, and webhook back when it's live. Usually about 60 seconds.

The code

curl -X POST https://api.domainee.dev/v1/domains \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOMAINEE_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "hostname": "podcast.acme.com",
    "originUrl": "https://app.your-saas.com",
    "mode": "proxy",
    "redirectWww": true,
    "metadata": { "workspaceId": "your-internal-id" }
  }'

The response includes a dnsRecords array (usually one CNAME). Show that to your user, tell them to paste it at their DNS provider, and we'll handle the rest.
