ULCC's Podcast hosting service addresses all your podcast hosting and distribution needs and is designed to help you embrace Podcasting within your institution more easily. You only need to focus on producing great content, and we do the rest!

ULCC's podcast hosting service is a scalable virtual backbone for all your podcast content.

Podcasts, and in particular video podcasts, can take up a considerable amount of storage over time, and successful distribution requires a good level of bandwidth being available from your hosting source.

Our service alleviates these concerns by offering you cost effective access to advanced Podcasting technology, built using Apple hardware, combined with a fully scalable storage platform at your disposal. You simply purchase a plan that covers your current requirement, and then upgrade as your archive of content grows.

Furthermore, as a regional POP for JANET, you can be assured that your content will always be easily accessible to your audience.

• Easily create podcasts without the need of your technical/IT departments
