How Do I Redirect My Podcast From Acast?

Modified on Fri, 26 Jan at 9:20 AM

Have you recently migrated your show from Acast to RSS.com? Great! Now make sure directories and listeners can find you at your new home at RSS.com by placing a redirect on your Acast account.

Important: Do not place a redirect until your podcast is fully migrated to your new feed at RSS.com. To learn how to import your feed, read our article "How do I import my podcast from a different hosting provider?"

Redirects work like mail forwarding; They send anyone accessing your old podcast feed URL to your new feed URL. A redirect will also update all the podcast directories you distribute to, so you don't have to reach out to each one individually. We suggest keeping a redirect active for at least 45 days to make sure directories and listeners have time to be updated with your new address.

Where do I place the Redirect?

1. Login to your Acast account.

2. Go to your Show Settings and select "Show redirection."

3. Copy your new RSS.com feed URL, and paste in the "New feed URL" field.

4. Click "Redirect."

Testing your redirect

If you want to check your redirect to make sure it's working properly, copy your Acast feed URL, and paste in a new tab of your browser. If the address automatically brings you to your RSS.com feed address, then it's working properly!

Removing your redirect

Once enough time has passed for directories and listeners to redirect to your new feed address, you can cancel any subscriptions still active on Acast and delete the redirect. To delete, simply remove the feed URL from the "New Feed URL" field.
