4 Best Masterclass Hosting Options (Free & Paid)
#1. YouTube
If you're seeking a free and accessible platform to host your masterclass and embed it on your website, YouTube is an excellent choice. Simply upload your video to your channel and seamlessly integrate it with your online presence. The only downside of this option is that your viewers can access this video without having to opt-in with their email, even if the video is unlisted.

Conclusion
When selecting hosting for your Masterclass, ask yourself whether pricing and privacy matter to you. If you’d prefer lower cost and don’t mind users sharing your content without it being gated, you can opt-in for YouTube. On the other hand, if you’d like to only give access to your Masterclass to people to opt-in with their email or even for a fee, then consider Kajabi as an all-in-one solution for your business.
