VNYL (vnyl.fm) is a podcast hosting platform built around a single core principle: no artificial limits. Founded in response to the industry-wide practice of charging more as a podcast grows, VNYL offers unlimited storage, unlimited downloads, and unlimited episodes at a flat monthly or annual rate. The platform was created by an indie developer who was frustrated that legacy hosting providers still used per-download or per-storage-tier pricing models that punish creators for going viral.<\/p>\n
VNYL handles RSS feed generation, analytics, and distribution so podcasters can focus on making episodes. It automatically generates RSS 2.0 feeds with iTunes and Spotify tags, provides permanent feed URLs, and is compliant with Apple Podcasts and Spotify out of the box. Analytics are IAB-compliant and include download tracking by episode, country, listening app, and device type. Each podcast also gets a dedicated landing page with a built-in player, episode listings, and custom domain support.<\/p>\n
Launched in beta on Product Hunt in November 2025, VNYL is positioned as a desktop-first hosting solution for serious podcasters who want predictable costs. The platform currently offers a free tier and a paid plan, with a ‘founder pricing’ option for early supporters. Additional features such as live streaming and native ad insertion are listed on the public roadmap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
