How do I switch to Fountain hosting?

If you are leaving your current hosting provider and switching to Fountain, you can book an onboarding call with our team and we will get you set up in under 30 minutes.

Switching to Fountain from your current hosting provider is safe and straightforward, with no change in your distribution or reach, and no downtime for listeners on any of the podcast apps.

If you are currently hosting your podcast on Spotify, any videos you have uploaded will be converted to audio when you switch hosts.

When you switch hosts, you must redirect your current feed to your new Fountain feed. Once this has been done, all of the apps and indexes will check your new feed for updates.

Export your analytics

Before setting up the redirect, we recommend exporting your full analytics history from your current hosting provider. You are unable to import your analytics into Fountain, but saving a copy of your data allows you to access it in the future.

Redirect your feed

Once you’ve saved a copy of your analytics, you can set up a redirect from the dashboard of your current hosting provider (usually found in Settings). 

After setting up the redirect, we recommend keeping your existing hosting plan active for at least 48 hours before you cancel it. This ensures that all of the apps and indexes have picked up your new Fountain feed after the redirect.
