301 Redirect - Index

What is a 301 redirect?


A 301 redirect points your old RSS feed to your new Transistor feed. Podcast apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and anyone subscribed to your old feed, follow it automatically and start getting your episodes from Transistor.


It's the most important step when you switch hosts. Without it, apps and subscribers keep checking your old feed and miss your new episodes.


Where to find your Transistor RSS feed


You'll paste your Transistor feed URL into your old host's redirect setting. To find it, open your podcast in Transistor, go to the Distribution tab and copy the URL under Your RSS Feed. You can also click the RSS feed button on the Overview tab.

If your host isn't listed, ask their support team to set up a 301 redirect from your old feed to your Transistor feed.


Closing your old hosting account


Wait a couple of weeks after setting up your redirect. Once new episodes are showing up in Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other apps, and you've saved your analytics from your old host, you can delete your old hosting account. Almost all hosts keep the redirect in place permanently after you leave.
