If they do, then I've been thinking about building my own site from scratch. What would be the best way to go about it? Let's assume I've written the code and am happy with everything, what essential things do I look out for when finding a host? Obviously I need... Quite a large amount of disk-space (1 - 10GB) People to be able to download my mixes at a reasonable speed No bandwidth problems Any suggestions?

The service is free at 75MB of storage for your mixes, and a paid account will get you 2Gigs of storage for about 7 bucks a month. The cool thing about the service is that they offer the ability to customize a personal website with different HTML themes. The themes are a bit limiting, but easy to set up and change. The service also allows for you to see how your mixes are doing by offering detailed statistics about Downloads, something I use quite often. It's by no means a perfect service, but with MixDepot gone, it's the best alternative I know of. As a DJ, I have been pretty satisfied with WAXDJ.com.

Podcasters and DJs are usually very involved in the specific technology they need for their creative work (Mixers, Microhpones, Ableton, Reason...), but most of them could be intimidated by the challenge of creating an RSS feed, publishing a blog or installing a flash mp3 player. Services like Libsyn, Switchpod or the now defunct MixeDepot are the direct answer to those needs, offering a complete suite for a very low cost monthly feed. I do agree with you Peter.
