Course Hosting Platform

A course hosting platform is a service that lets educators upload, organize, and sell their courses from a single dashboard — without managing servers, video storage, or payment integrations separately. Unlike marketplaces (Udemy, Skillshare) where you compete with thousands of other creators, a hosting platform gives you your own branded academy with your domain, your pricing, and your students. For Indian coaches, the key differentiators to evaluate are: Does it support UPI and Indian payment gateways? Does it offer content protection (DRM/encryption) to prevent screen recording and piracy? Can students access courses on mobile without downloading a separate app? Skolasti is a course hosting platform built specifically for Indian educators — with native UPI payouts, content protection, AI-powered website builder, and mobile-first design. Plans start at ₹999/month with zero revenue sharing, meaning you keep 100% of what you earn. Popular alternatives include Teachable, Kajabi, and Thinkific (international) and Graphy, Classplus, and Learnyst (India-focused). When comparing, check for hidden transaction fees, payment settlement timelines, and whether the platform actually owns your student data or you do.
