The old version of ClickCaster was a collection of features and functions that organically grew over time.  Some of the features everyone used; some things, almost no one touched.

What we've done is cull out the rarely used stuff and beefed up the heavily used portions of the site into a more focused service aimed at serious audio, video and file distribution via RSS.

For a full description of the changes, check out the ClickCaster Wiki at:

http://faq.clickcaster.com/index.php/Legacy_Accounts

or view a walkthrough of the new system:


The biggest change for some of you will be paying for your accounts. 


You can see the various level of service and their cost here:

http://www.clickcaster.com/about/more_info

In a nutshell, there are 4 plans from $4.99 to $29.99 a month. We also have educational/non-profit pricing. We're charging by the amount of storage space on our servers you need/use (with incremental storage added every month).  Bandwidth is unlimited.

Simple, clean and easy.  If you have a popular channel with lots of users accessing your content, unlike most services, we don't charge you extra for heavy bandwidth use.  This lets you plan your monthly costs without having to worry about a huge bill one month just become something you did was popular.

Existing ClickCaster Users:

If you've already got an account on ClickCaster, you can try the new service out free for the next month (until around June 10th).  Your existing files won't count toward your monthly storage limits (only new files you upload). 

On or around the 10th, we'll ask that you choose a package that best fits your needs.

If you decide not to choose a package, we'll continue to host your existing files until at least July 31st at no cost to you.  Keep in mind you won't be able to add any new files until you choose a package.

New ClickCaster Customers:

If you're new to ClickCaster, we'll ask that you choose a package and provide a credit card when you sign up.  Although we'll charge the card, your first thirty days are a trial period to make sure you like the service.  If you decide during that time it's not for you, simply drop us an email at cancel@clickcaster.com and we'll refund your money.

If you have questions, comments or would like to provide feedback, we're all ears.  Just drop us a line at info@clickcaster.com or leave us comment sin the forums at: http://forums.clickcaster.com .

We're particularly interested in hearing about what you'd like added to ClickCaster.  If enough users ask for a feature we removed, or a new feature we didn't have before, we'll very likely put it into a future upgrade to the site.  Just let us know what you're looking for.

The ClickCaster Team.
