Can 3rd Party served content be included in the ContentCast services?

• No, 1WorldSync must host all the content for the following reasons:

  1. Performance and Availability - We are unable to monitor performance and availability on 3rd party sites.
  2. Security Risks - We are also not able to prevent any security breaches when the content is served on 3rd party servers. In the event that a 3rd party replaces the content with obscene or inappropriate content, we cannot automatically detect the changes or auto scan previously reviewed content.
  3. Security Certificates - We have no control in the event the 3rd party services are not able to serve secured content or HTTPS content in the event their certificate expires.
