Should You Create Rss Feeds On Your Site Or Host Them Elsewhere?
By Jim Kreinbrink
There are several ways to create Feeds for your website. Some site owners and webmasters may find it helpful to use a feed hosting service like mySiteFeed.com, while others may want the feed to come from their own site. There are, of course, advantages and disadvantages to each approach.

Advantages of using feed hosting
One of the primary advantages of using a feed hosting service like mySiteFeed.com to create your feed is that it is fast. A quick visit to the site, signup and immediately start creating your feed. To create your custom feed, you choose the title and then can immediately start adding feed items. As you add feed items, they are immediately shown in the feed. Add the code that mySiteFeed.com provides to your website, and your feed is immediately available for subscribers and to be distributed by others across the web!

Another advantage is speed. Instead of researching the Feed specification, programming your own xml, and adjusting your server details, you are immediately able to offer your feed. In an environment where time is money, it is sometimes nice to have something that "just works" and is done. If you are a web site owner with little technical expertise, feed hosting can save you valuable time to pursue

other business objectives for your web site.

A third advantage is bandwidth. If your hosting package comes with unlimited bandwidth, this is not really much of a concern. But if your hosting account has limits, it is important to consider how creating a Feed can impact those limits. The nature of Feeds is to be constantly polled by subscribers, directories, and feed distribution partners. As your feed membership grows, it could impact your page load times or other server resources like bandwidth.

A feed hosting service like mySiteFeed.com will never be able to offer the customization that an expert programmer and webmaster could provide their feed. But with very little time and expertise, most webmasters and site owners appreciate being able to setup their Feeds quickly, easily, and experiment with this exciting new technology.
