I trying to Map My Own Domain To My Podbean podcast Site. I currently have my own business website and my podcast show notes are on the this page as well under: www.domain.com/en/podcast. This is also where I’d like to map podbean to.
But it says something about " you need to first delete the “A” records for both your root domain and www." I don’t want to mess up my existing website.
It sounds like you want your Podbean content to be served under your domain. The only way to get Podbean to show up in your domain is to CNAME it as a subdomain.
When you say "Redirect sub.podbean.com" to your domain, a “Redirect” means someone who goes to sub.podbean.com gets sent to an existing page on your website…but that won’t be Podbean content.
So now I’m a little confused. It sounds like you have two things:
A Podcast that’s on the podbean website (I’m not familiar with it, but it looks pretty much like a blog full of podcasts).
Show notes on your own website.
And those are two separate pages. What do you want visitors to see when they visit www.domain.com/en/podcast? Your show notes, or that Podcast playlist?
Currently, if you click on “Visit Episode Website” in iTunes podcast app it takes you to the mypodcast.podbean.com site This is basically just a standard web template with the episodes /w player and the description in a post/blog format and is the standard setting in their accounts.
As I have the player embedded into the www.domain.com/en/podcast page I’m not worried about the actual content, but don’t want to use their standard website template that don’t look very pretty and use the www.domain.com/en/podcast.
I don’t know if this is a stupid idea and what ramification this might have (just thought of this), but what if I:
Sounds good to me. Each of those steps looks correct. This tutorial should get you headed in the right direction for Step 2. You’ll be using that CNAME instead of the “A” record. Hopefully Podbean won’t break if you set that CNAME to .
