I'm a little confused (1:59:00)

Does the podcaster's registered domain mostly function as a door greeter that points listeners to the desired audio file stored on their hosting provider's server?

So if the hosting provider got raided and shut down, the podcaster would need to have a local backup of everything so they could re-upload to a new hosting provider?
