These computers willbe told where the domain is located on the internet;what host it is that holds the domain's information. Inorder to give them that information, the name serversthat are held by the host need to be associated with thedomain. Once the domain is in place, a good hostshould be found. The host that is chosen should offer alarge amount of both disk space and a much largeramount bandwidth. Disk space is neccessary becausethe site which holds the podcast will be storing largemedia files; audio or video files that take up a lot ofspace and are difficult to compress. The largebandwidth is necessary because transferring these largefiles many times to many different people will use upthe quota quickly. A good amount of diskspace wouldbe several GigaBytes, bandwidth should be in the tensor hundreds of Gigabytes. Once the host is set up, itshould offer you a couple of addresses callednameservers.

What is now called a podcast traces its orgins to thefirst ipod podcasts, the creation of distributed mp3 filesthat could be downloaded and played on Apple's musicplayer, the iPod. When the iPod came out, and usersdiscovered what a wonderful thing it was for holdingmusic, some people had the idea of loading things thatweren't necessarily songs. Some of the people that gottheir hands on the iPod took the route of reverseengineering the iPod and loading on different firmware, or operating system, but others had the idea of sharingsmall sound files that could be played on the iPod. Thetechnology for distributing the files already existed, with RSS feeds. RSS feeds were a means of generatingmachine readable files that could share informationbetween a server and a user. Many blogs already usedthem to keep readers up to date with the latest posts, butsome hopeful podcasters had the idea of enclosing linksto sound files within the RSS feed and downloading thefile to the computer.
