One of the most exciting aspects of creating a Podpage is establishing your official domain name to showcase your new podcast website. This guide provides detailed information on the process of setting up your custom domain with Podpage, ensuring a seamless connection between your podcast and its online presence.
Preliminary Steps

Patience is key, as domain mapping changes may take 2-12 hours to propagate across the internet.
