Getting Started with Fusebox
Whether you're brand new to Fusebox or already have an account, our goal is to make podcasting easier...and cheaper! That's why all of our paid plans include podcast hosting at no extra cost.
Here, you'll find what you need to get started and how to migrate your podcasts to Fusebox.
Creating a new account using Fusebox's Easy Hosting
If you're just starting a podcast and need a podcast host—the setup process is quite straightforward.
Fusebox's Easy Hosting is automatically enabled when you select "Start a New Podcast" in the setup screens. Simply choose between a Start or Pro plan to create your new podcast with Easy Hosting.

Migrating from another podcast host
Whether you're already a paying subscriber OR you just signed up for a plan, podcast hosting is included with both our Starter and Pro plan.
So, why pay for TWO podcast hosts?! Here are the instructions to migrate your podcast from your existing host to Fusebox's Easy Hosting—and to make things even easier, we'll copy ALL of your published episodes for you!
Step 1 — Existing Podcast Host
In order for Fusebox to copy your published episodes, we need to establish a connection to your existing podcast host. If you got over-excited at the idea of free hosting and canceled your subscription with your existing host, you'll need to have them turn the RSS feed on again.
Step 2 — Toggle ON Easy Hosting
Within your Fusebox dashboard...
- Go to your ShowSettings page.
- Click the Hosting tab.
- Toggle on Easy Hosting to begin the migration.
Step 3 — Hang tight
Copying your episodes from your previous host can take some time—and a lot of it depends on...
- The total number of episodes
- The size of each episode file
- And how your previous host organized the information inside the RSS feed.
What that means is don't go and cancel the subscription to your previous host until the migration is completed. Doing so will interrupt the migration process and possibly delay your being able to upload new episodes.
Once the migration is completed, you'll receive an e-mail letting you know it's time to start uploading episodes. After you receive that notification, you're all set to cancel the subscription to your existing host.
