About CastPlus

CastPlus is a podcast hosting service. Podcast hosts store the audio files for a show and provide the feed that listening apps read, and CastPlus positions itself as the host for a podcaster's show. It is a proprietary, commercial service.

Its website is minimal: it carries the product name, a short description, links to a privacy policy and terms of use, and a notice that only essential cookies are used. Feature lists and pricing are not published on the homepage, so those details should be confirmed with the vendor.
