Are there any good alternatives for Feedburner for professional bloggers?

  Host you own RSS Feed under your own Adress? Then you have the advantage, that you control the URL/Address. The Load is not that big if your feed is a Static file.

    I think people really underestimate throughput of a simple file server serving static files. When serving static files, even something like old school apache can serve a couple thousand requests/second on relatively anemic hardware. That's billions of requests/year. The average podcast doesn't really need this. Even at google's scale, if all their content was static, they wouldn't need that many servers. The hard parts of scale is keeping everything in sync in a distributed system designed to make sure your content is fast everywhere and managing the sheer amount of compute for the dynamic side of things.

  There's been no need for it for more than a decade. Just cache your feed if traffic justifies.

  The usefulness of services like this is gone. I run a podcast hosting service and recommend everyone stop using FeedBurner and similar services. They provide no technical benefit and you're handing over control of your feed to a third party.
