VERDICT

Should I use RSS.com?

Podcast hosting with free signup - rss.com

Worth it. Buy if you are a solo or indie podcaster wanting simple, affordable hosting with a free start. Skip it if you run a multi-show network or need deep B2B analytics and phone support.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~12 public sources. Caveat: many 'RSS' search results referred to RSS feed readers or unrelated orgs, not RSS.com the podcast host, so usable evidence is thinner than it appears.
